한국민속촌
Hanok villages are nice, but if you’re actually interested in seeing traditional buildings and lifestyles you’ve gotta go to the Korean Folk Village (민속촌) in Yongin(용인). As a tourist, there’s not really that much to do in Suwon, but this place is close by and definitely worth a visit.
한옥 마을도 좋지만, 정말 전통적인 문화나 생활에 관심이 있다면 용인 민속촌에 꼭 가보시는 걸 추천해요. 관광을 하는 사람로서 수원에는 관광지가 좀 부족한 것 같은데, 민속촌은 가깝고 확실히 갈 만해요.
용인 에버 벚꽃 축제
진해벚꽃축제(Jinhae cherry blossom festival)가 너무 좋아서 또 다른 벚꽃 축제에 가고 싶었어요. 남자친구랑 집과 멀지 않은 용인에버벚꽃축제에 가기로 했어요. 에버랜드라서 사람 진짜 많을 줄 알았으니까 원래 안 가려고 했지만, 토요일 아침에 일어났을 때 날씨가 아주 좋고 남친이 벚꽃축제 가본 적이 없었어서 가기로 했어요. 즐거운 날이 됐어요.
Jinhae was so good that I was desperate to go to another cherry blossom festival. So this time I went with my boyfriend to Yongin Everland cherry blossom festival(용인에버벚꽃축제), which is a lot closer to where we live. We weren’t going to go at first because we thought there would be too many people since it’s next to Everland, but when we woke up on Saturday morning the weather was fantastic, and since my boyfriend had never been to a cherry blossom festival before we decided to go. I’m glad we did.

진해 벚꽃 축제
벚꽃이 없는 곳에 사는 사람들은 모두가 벚꽃을 보고 싶은 꿈이 있을 것 같아요. 저도 그랬고 꽃을 많이 좋아하니까 한국에 와서 꼭 벚꽃축제를 놓치고 싶지 않았어요. 사실 요새 한국에 여행 많이 가고 싶지만 돈도 시간도 부족해서 아직 못 갈 줄 알았어요. 어느 날, 제 친구와 함께 커피 한 잔 하면서 이야기하다가 친구가 투어버스타고 나들이 가자고 제안을 했어요.
I think pretty much anyone who lives somewhere that doesn’t have cherry blossoms dreams of seeing them someday. I sure did, and I like all flowers, so I definitely couldn’t miss out on the cherry blossom festivals now that I’m in Korea. Recently I’ve been wanting to travel a lot but haven’t had either the time or the money, so I didn’t think I’d be able to go anywhere. But then, whilst I told her this over coffee, my friend suggested we go on a day trip by tourbus.

If you’re struggling with 쓰기, I recommend this book! It teaches not just all the basic stuff you need to know but also how to express things in formal writing. Gives examples of the most common mistakes in writing. It has a lot exercises. LIKE A LOT.
A lot to make sure it sticks in your mind and never forget it ever again. Provides answers at the back.Future book

Can you guys check out my Korean IG: @SallysKoreanNotes. I’ll be posting daily questions so that you can all practice often. ^-^
Trying to improve my handwriting, mostly so i can read other people’s handwriting more easily. I never learnt stroke order (i really recommend doing that) and never wrote much by hand. But as you can see in the first picture my english handwriting is also like a child’s, so thats probably the reason my korean is too. 1) my handwriting 2) my boyfriend’s handwriting 3) my english. The rest is me practicing writing quickly and trying to copy my boyfriend’s writing but it looks awful. Then i got bored and just tried to write big. ㅁ, ㄹ and ㄷ/ ㅌ are the characters i struggle with most. I still cannot figure out to make the correct stroke order for ㄹ naturally. Someone teach me how to read handwriting (like my boyfriend’s here, i would never know that says 운명) without having to improve my own?
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.
4. 어떻게 한국어를 공부해요? (How do you study Korean?)
TTMIK과 또 다른 웹사이트들으로 문법을 배웠고 한국 친구랑 언어교환 하면서 연습했어요. 현재는 여름 학기동안 서강대학교 한국어교육원을 다니고 있어요. 어학원 다니는 게 좋긴 하지만 혼자서 공부하는 게 더 즐거운 것 같아요. 배우고 싶은 것 배울 수 있고 좋아하는 방식으로 공부할 수 있으니까요. 그러나, 한국에 살면서 한국어를 공부하는 것 완전 더 좋아요.
I learnt grammar through TTMIK and other websites and practiced whilst doing language exchange with Korean friends. At present I am attending Sogang KLEC for the summer semester. Going to a language school is good, but I think studying alone is more fun since I can learn what I want and studying in the ways that I like. Although, studying whilst living in Korean really is so much better.
감사합니다! 🙂
Finally using Lang-8 again and I really do love this community. Also there’s a lot of need for Korean learners so I’m recommending it once again.
Lang-8: Practice writing and receive corrections from native speakers, give corrections to learners of your native language, ask questions and get feedback, make friends and meet language exchange partners.
