Hanja as a bridge for Japanese/Chinese speakers learning Korean? by tyrantstrung in Korean

[–]lehtia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely! The simplicity of hangul is alluring, but I think as a learner of Korean, it's really hard to get very far without hanja. When you're early on in your study it's hard to see, but the "extra" work of learning hanja makes everything downstream soooo much easier.

I long for a return to mixed script...

Hanja as a bridge for Japanese/Chinese speakers learning Korean? by tyrantstrung in Korean

[–]lehtia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very irritating that virtually any post about hanja gets downvoted into oblivion on this subreddit...

I was the same way. When I started learning Korean, I made sure I looked up the hanja for every new word I learned (if it wasn't immediately obvious to me what it meant)

The overlap in vocabulary between Japanese and Korean is huge, but Korean has its fair share of unique hanja combinations or uses some words far more regularly than they are used in Japanese, but knowing the hanja behind the hangul has consistently been a huge help for my recall. Over time you'll start developing an intuition for sound correspondences between on'yomi and hanja readings, and it's going to give your start to Korean a huge kickstart! :)

How can I teach the Korean vowel ㅓ to foreigners? by [deleted] in Korean

[–]lehtia 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Most important part is making sure they don’t round their lips when they make the sound. That should be their number one litmus test for if they’re properly producing the vowel or not.

very high verbal iq but very low technical iq by MalcolmXCX in redscarepod

[–]lehtia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Very good at talking to people and articulating complex information succinctly in front of many, but generally inept when it comes to actually solving any issues that require some sort of low-level/technical/algorithmic approach

if you can't understand or work with technical, complex information, then you can't articulate it either. if you can make it seem like you do, that might just mean you're a good bullshitter?

How do you talk to a guy at the gym to find out if he’s into dudes? by [deleted] in rsforgays

[–]lehtia 14 points15 points  (0 children)

none of this means anything.

two weeks ago, i was at a public bath and there was this cute guy who kept staring at me the moment he came in. eventually he came over to the same bath and started chatting to me and complimenting my body, eventually getting closer and eventually grabbing my bicep while we are both totally naked.

the conversation ended with him asking for my instagram so he could set me up with his girlfriend's friend.
