I’m in loveeee with your vocab posts :D

Thank you!! They’re usually a bit random but I’m glad you enjoy them 🙂

Are there any Korean chatting apps/websites you use?

Hi^^ I’ve used the Hellotalk app and Sharedtalk – although that has now changed to SharedLingo which I haven’t tried yet. I’ve never used any actual Korean ones. I think there are open chat groups on kakaotalk which you could try and find, I’m sure there are lang exchange groups or groups for something you’re interested in.

17. 어떤 직업을 갖고 싶어요? (What kind of job do you want to have?)

아이들을 좋아하는데 오랬동안 교사나 nanny가 되고 싶었어요. 심리학에도 관심이 있고 제 전공이 심리학이라서 제 꿈은 심리학 교수가 되는 거옜어요. 그런데 한국어 배우고 친구한테 영어 공부를 도와 주면서 언어의 매력에 빠졌으니까 지금은 영어 교사가 되고 싶어요.

I like kids so for a long time I wanted to become a teacher or nanny. I’m also into psychology and that’s my major so my dream was to become and psych professor. However whilst learning Korean and helping my friends study English I fell in love with languages and I now want to be an English teacher. 🙂

13. 한국어 배우면서 어떤 점이 가장 즐거워요? (What do you enjoy most about learning Korean?)

저는 이상해서 그런지 문법을 배우는 게 가장 좋아요. 전에 이해 못 했던 것을 이해가 되는 그 순간에 진짜 뿌듯해요. 그리고 당연히 한국어 배우면서 만나는 친구들을 만나는 것도 즐거워요. 친구하고 한국말로 이야기할 때 말이 잘 통하고 자신을 잘 표해할 수 있으면 기분 너무 좋아요.

Maybe because I’m weird, but I enjoy learning grammar the most. That moment where you start to understand something you didn’t before is so satisfying. Of course I also enjoy meeting all the friends I’ve met whilst learning Korean. It feels so good when we’re able to communicate well and when I can express myself well whilst speaking Korean.

Negative Adverbs

(from: Online Intermediate College Korean)

I keep on hearing 1 2 3 as “ha, too, set” (I’m still learning Hangul, sorry) in Korean shows and such, but whenever I look up how to say numbers in Korean, that is far off. Why is this? Are there several ways to say numbers?

There are two sets of numbers: Native Korean (하나/hana, 둘/dul, 셋/set) and Sino-Korean (일/il, 이/ee, 삼/sam), and Native Korean numbers change slightly when you put them before a countable noun (한 사람, 두 사람, 세 사람).
