Let's Learn Korean - 한국어 Entry~

Total words: 271

Thanks for the encouragement Gord~ I’ll give it a shot:

금요일 난 핼스클럽 시작했어…
아이고~~아직도 몸이 너무 아프다~!! ㅠㅠ

어제 오토바이타고 - 잠실역 가봤어...아~!!!! 추워 추워 추워~!!
친구 만났어 그리고 점심먹었어.
마쉐 식당 알아? 내 생각은 카나다 식당이다… 진짜 맛있어~! ^__^ 지금은 마쉐에서 스위스 퐁두 있어, 하지만 내 친구 싫어, 그래서 우리 안먹었어...나랑 먹어 싶어?

롯대월드에서 아이쇼핑 했어...조금 심심했어…
다음에, 우리 DVD방에서 푸랑스 영화 봤어: “Brotherhood of the Wolf"~
영화 조금 재미있었어, 하지만 난 많이 시간 푸랑스말 안했어, 그래서 말 대문에 재미있었어~ ^^
그 친구 영어 잘못해, 그래서 그냥 푸랑스말와 한국어 subtitles~

Ok - so there’s my first attempt (actually that’s the first time I’ve ever published anything at all in Korean~)
How did I do? ㅋㅋㅋ
I usually use a 영/한 사전 or translator when I chat with my 한국친구, but I thought for a blog like this, the point is to make mistakes and learn from them, so I just went with what came to me~ That’s about all the words I know in 한국어, so I can’t write too many blogs like that, or they’ll all just sound the same: “I went here...it was fun… I went there...it wasn’t fun...”.

By the way, the only way I’ve learned Korean is from chatting with friends (cracked a book once or twice), so polite language is REALLY difficult for me...since I think I’m the youngest here, I guess that’s a bit rude. Sorry~ ^^;; At least I don’t sound like a country 아저씨~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Actually, I’ve learned most of my Korean from girls, so I tend to sound like a girl when I speak Korean...I wonder which one is worse…

That’s unfortunately true for many of us I think. Because women are generally easier to understand and more willing to talk to us our inflection and speech patterns tend to mimic those of our female friends.

Yes I too have been told I talk like a woman. Well what can you expect when your only conversation partner is your wife/gf. Hopefully I can convice the mixed couple across the street to speak Korean with me. Well at least the husband.

필립님, 잠실 마르쉐에 가서 점심 드셨어요? 나도 얼마 전에 삼성동에 있는 마르쉐에 갔어요. 초코렛 퐁듀를 공짜로 주고 있길래 먹어 봤구요. 내가 초코렛 중독자라 공짜 아니었더라도 돈 주고 샀을 거예요, 아마 . 아무튼 너무 느끼 해서 먹는데 고생 좀했고 별로 추천하고 싶지 않네요. 마르쉐 보다는 이태원과 하얏호텔 사이에 있는 스위스샬레란 스위스 음식점이 있는데 그곳에서 정말 맛 나는 퐁듀를 먹을 수 있어요. 시간 나시면 스위스샬레에 가서 한 번 드셔보세요!

Hmmm...poster #3~ ㅋㅋㅋ I can’t see your name for some reason…
Anyway~ Whops on the spelling: 마르쉐 맞아요~ ^^
Well, since I don’t know who you are...for all I know, you could be a really hot chick. If that’s the case...ok, I’ll buy you fondue~
I’ve been to the Swiss Chalet, and let me tell you from the mouth of a Swiss man (well...1/2 Swiss), don’t waste your money. I haven’t tried 마르쉐’s fondue, but as of yet, the Swiss Chalet was the worst fondue I’ve ever had in my life.

I did find some packets at a shop around 한남 - expensive, but they’d be much better~ There was also a cheese shop outside 한남수퍼마캣 that had all the necessary cheese, and I could get the wine… I’m seriously considering making my own “melange” (for the first time in my life).

Anyone up for a wine and fondue party?

The only thing I don’t have, but could improvise is the caquelon (basically a big earthenware pot) and the stand/burner that go with it. It would be a throw-together job, but one WELL worth doing. A good fondue is BY FAR the best ‘eatins under the sun~!!!

Yeah I noticed the broken names. For some reason in comments Korean names are running about 50/50 on coming out right. I’ll be writing a support request on the Expression Engine forums soon.

Philip, if you can get to costco they have fondue pots there. I’m not sure how much, but I know I have seen them - you might also check out carrefoure or walmart if you are near either of those places.

Hmmmm. So you don’t like Swiss Chalet. Have you tried the fondue shop in 대학로 called 작은 스위스? I wonder if that one is any better…

그 식당 못봤어요...it’s worth a look~ ^^

Yeah, I have been told I sound like a girl in Korean too. How can we resist not using those whiny inflectional tones?

I used to have my speech styles pretty clear because my textbook mostly used the 해요체, but now that I am taking classes at Ewha where 합쇼체 (~합니다 form) is primarily used and chatting to friends on MSN in 반말 it is all so screwed up when I talk. I don’t when I will ever get all this straight...adding 높임말 on top of that only makes it worse.
