Numbers 1-10 (comparing Korean, Japanese, and Chinese)

I’ve noticed a lot of people have been studying “The Big Three” Asian languages simultaneously or consecutively, which is great! But it can get confusing. So I decided to make this post to help relate the languages to one another to ease the learning process a bit. I learned the languages in order: Korean, Japanese, Chinese. Korean helped me with some of the Japanese pronunciation, both with some numbers being the same, and the [l/r] sound English just doesn’t have. And then when I started learning Chinese, knowing the kanji from Japanese helped me remember the number characters, and Korean helped me remember some of the pronunciation.

Disclaimers:

  • Korean does use 2 counting systems, but I’ll only be showing Sino-Korean in this lesson
  • I don’t use romanization, but since this includes languages other people may still be learning/want to learn, I have included it here
  1. 일 (il) 一 (ichi) 一 (yí)
  2. 이 (ee) 二 (ni) 二 (èr)
  3. 삼 (sam) 三 (san) 三 (sān)
  4. 사 (sa) 四 (yon/shi) 四 (sì)
  5. 오 (oh) 五 (go) 五 (wǔ)
  6. 육 (yook) 六 (roku) 六 (liù)
  7. 칠 (chil) 七 (nana) 七 (qī)
  8. 팔 (pal) 八 (hachi) 八 (bā)
  9. 구 (goo) 九 (kyu) 九 (jiǔ)
  10. 십 (shib) 十 (juu) 十 (shí)

Korean Through Song: Breathe by Lee Hi (Pt. 2 Vocab & Grammar)

어휘/문법 Vocab/Grammar

| breath

크게 | dictionary form 크다 meaning to be big, the ~게 turns it into an adverb which might technically mean bigly, but given the context would use it as deeply since it makes sense and is an actual word

쉬어봐요 | dictionary form 쉬어보다 meaning to try to breathe. 쉬다 means to breathe by itself and adding ~아/어 보다 to the end of a verb gives the meaning of to try to do x.

당신 | you. (Formal) because it’s a song it’s a formal/general you that you don’t use very often in korean at all. Calling someone by their name and/or title is preferred if a pronoun is necessary

가슴 | chest

양쪽 | both sides

저리게 | dictionary form 저리다 meaning to be numb

조금 | a little

아파올 때까지 | until it hurts. Dictionary form 아프다 is to be sick/hurt added with 오다 which means to come makes 아파오다 meaning something along the lines of for pain to come out (start hurting?). ~ㄹ 때 is a grammar form meaning when and ~까지 in this context has the meaning of until

| more

뱉어봐요 | dictionary form 뱉어보다 to try to spit out. 뱉다 alone is spit out, but in this context means breathe out/get your breath out

안에 | inside

남은 게 없다고 | nothing left. 남은 게 is short for 남은 것이. 남다 to be left over. 없다 is to not have/not exist. ~은 게 is a way to let you conjugate the verb so you know what doesn’t exist

느껴질 때까지 | until you feel it. dictionary form 느끼다 to feel, ~어/아 지다 is a way to say something becomes something. Essentially until you feel it in this case. ㄹ 때까지 is same as earlier grammar

숨이 벅차올라도 괜찮아요 | it’s okay even if you’re out of breath. Dictionary form 벅차오르다 in this context is to be out of. But I feel like overflowing is more accurate? ~아/어도 has the grammar meaning of even if. Dictionary form 괜찮다 to be okay

아무도 | nobody. In order to use this, the sentence has to be negative (i.e. ~않다)

그댈 | you. This is in generally a more poetic way to say it and doesn’t really get used often. 그대 is you and the added ㄹ is short for object marker 를

탓하진 않아 | dictionary form 탓하다 to blame, so together with ~지 않다 means to not, so to not blame. ~진 않다 is a little more complicated. 진 is short for 지는, where 는 is a topic marker. It’s basically adding extra emphasis that a negative fact/thought/statement is actually different from what you expected. Here it was you expecting that everyone blames you, but they actually don’t

가끔 | sometimes

실수해도 돼 | can make mistakes. Dictionary form 실수하다 to make mistakes. ~아/어도 되다 is a grammar meaning “can” but more in the permission way. Like you’re allowed to make mistakes. You may mistakes.

누구든 | anyone. Short for 누구든지

그랬으니까 | dictionary form 그러다 to be like that. ~으니까 grammar form meaning because. 그랬어 would be past tense regular conjugation

| words

~뿐인 | grammar form meaning just ~ (for nouns)

위로지만 | 위로 is comfort/condolence. ~지만 means but

누군가의 | somebody/someone’s. 의 is the ’s

한숨 | sigh

무거운 | Dictionary form 무겁다 to be heavy

어떻게 | how

헤아릴 수가 있을까요 | can understand that. 헤아라다 in this context means to like try to understand. Like comprehend/relate to/guess. ~ㄹ 수가 있다 grammar form meaning can/to be able to. ~을까 is a question form. She’s partially asking herself and partially asking about the possibility of understanding

이해할 순 없겠지만 | can’t understand. Dictionary form 이해하다 to understand (in the literal sense of I understand this) ㄹ 수 없다 can’t

안아줄게요 | I’ll hold you. Dictionary form 안다 to hold + 주다 to do for someone/give

남들 | others

눈에 | in (someone’s) eyes

| strength/energy

빠지는 | dictionary form 빠지다 to fall out/deflate/release

보일진 몰라도 | might be seen. Dictionary form 보이다 to be seen. ~ㄹ진 몰라도 where ㄹ is future tense, 지 모르다 is grammar for might, ㄴ is the same as the ㄴ in 진 않다 that adds emphasis, and 도 is once again meaning even if

작은 | dictionary form 작다 to be small

내뱉기도 | spit out, breath out. Dictionary for 내뱉다. ~기도 meaning even

어려운 | dictionary form 어렵다 to be difficult

하루 | a day (24 hours/within a full day)

보냈단 걸 | in context of the phrase, had. Dictionary for 보내다 to spend time x, 보냈다 would be past tense. 단 걸 is short for 다는 것을 which means something like the fact that

이제 | now

다른 | Dictionary form 다르다 to be different

생각 | thought(s)

마요 | dictionary form 말다 to not/to stop

깊이 | Dictionary form 깊다 to be deep

그대로 | as it is/like that

수고했어요 | did well/worked hard/put in effort. Dictionary form 수고하다

Korean Through Song: Breathe by Lee Hi (Pt. 1 Translations)

note: some of the lines don’t translate directly well and others don’t work well line by line since Korean and English grammar have different word orders. I’ll go into more detail in part 2 with vocabulary and grammar

Hello everyone!! This post is based off an ask that I got recently! You may have noticed in your hometown (고향), that some convenience stores (편의점) are owned by Koreans! Sometimes, they will write things in Korean and English for their Korean and English speaking customers (and if they go the extra mile, there might be Chinese, too)! This is a good place to practice your spoken Korean with the workers / owners of the store.

If you want fruit vocabulary: Fruit Vocab - 과일 어휘 (QUIZLET)
If you want vegetable vocabulary: Veggie Vocab - 채소 어휘 (QUIZLET)
If you want shopping vocabulary:Shopping Vocab - 쇼핑 어휘(QUIZLET)

If you want to know some basic 편의점어휘, then follow along and tell me how it goes! 

To start, let’s first understand the word “편의점”:
     ☆ 편 + 하다 = 편하다 - to be comfortable (adj.)
     ☆ 점 - store

Another thing you need to know is that it is VERY common to go and eat at a 편의점. Here is some vocab you’ll need to know for that:

     ☆ 젓가락 – chopsticks 
     ☆ 라면국물 버리는 곳 – pour ramen water here
     ☆ 플라스틱 – plastic
     ☆ 쓰레기 – trash
     ☆ – can
     ☆ – bottle 

But before you enter, you may see one of two signs on the door ():

  1. 한금지급기/에이티엠 - ATM
          ☆ 하금지급기 없음 - No ATM
  2. 고정문 - fixed door (don’t push on this, it won’t open)

With number 1, you might need to withdraw cash (예금출금), here is some small ATM vocab:

     ☆ 예금출금 – withdraw cash
     ☆ 카드를 넣어주십시오 – please put your card in
     ☆ (1) 만원 = 10, 000 won
          ♡ 5 만원= 50, 000 won
          ♡ 10 만원 = 100,000 won
     ☆ 명세표– invoice
     ☆ 영수증– receipt
     ☆ 현금 자동 지급기 – cash dispenser

Now you can buy your fave snacks / ramen! Here’s some vocab for when you’re at the cashier:

    ☆ 이 게/이 것이 얼마예요? – How much is this?
    ☆ 비싸다– to be expensive
    ☆ ‘X’원입니다 - it is ‘x’ won
    ☆ 결제 해드릴게요 – I’ll ring it up for you
    ☆ 넣어 드릴까요? – would you like a bag?
          ♡ ,넣으세요 - Yes, please bag it
          ♡ 아니요,그냥 들고 가겠습니다 – No, I will just carry it
    ☆ 영수증이 필요하세요? – do you need a receipt?
          ♡ ,영수증을 주세요 – yes, please give me a receipt
          ♡ 아니요,괜찮아요– No, it’s okay / I’m okay
          ♡ OR: you can just say, “/아니요
    ☆ 거스름돈/잔돈– change
    ☆ 또 오세요 – come again

Some food you’ll find in a 편의점: (these are just some I love! if you have some snacks that you love that aren’t on here, please write them in the comments!!)

   ☆ 삼각김밥- triangle kimbap
   ☆ 도시갈- lunchbox / bento
   ☆ 우유-  milk
         ♡ 딸기 맛 - strawberry flavour -> 딸기()우유
         ♡ 바나나- banana flavour
         ♡ 멜론 맛 - melon flavour
   ☆ 빼빼로- pepero (Korean pocky)
   ☆ 찹쌀약과- Korean sweet cake
   ☆ 꼬깔콘- corn chips
   ☆ 허니버터칩- honey butter chips
   ☆ 초코파이 케이크 - Choco-Pie Cake (a staple in Korean snacks)

Hello All! Welcome back to “Book Recommendations from SK101″ ~

Today I have a very special book in mind that I want to share with you:

Traditional Folktales in Korean and English: Korean Stories for Language Learners [언어 학습자를 위한 한국 전래동화]

I use this book religiously to practice my reading. I also use this for reading comprehension when I tutor! It is the perfect book for intermediate* learners! Here’s why I love it so much!

1. MINIMAL ROMANIZATION
     
~ unfortunately, I would like it to be ZERO, however, the only romanization you see is in the vocabulary section between the Korean and English. If you know me well, you know that romanization is my arch-nemesis. I hate it with a burning passion and strongly urge and recommend everyone to learn the alphabet asap. Even though this book has some romanization in it, it doesn’t rely on it; the stories and their translations are in Korean and English. 

If you need help with pronunciation, you can go to HiNative and ask for help. Or you can type the word you want help with into Papago and press the “listen” button (even though it’s an automated voice, it’s better than romanization). 

2. Comprehension Questions
     
~ I. Love. Comprehension. When I tutor for the Korean Culture Group at my university, the biggest thing I do is reading and comprehension. It’s one thing to be able to read what’s on the page, and it’s another thing to understand and put it into your own words. I think the biggest step to fluency is actively thinking about the language and not just the translations. This book gives you writing and reading exercises after every story - with the option of writing it in Korean or English. 

3. Helpful Tips at the Back of the Book
     
~ if you are a beginner, they have a helpful guide to pronouncing Korean sounds in the back - as well as writing help and creating Korean syllables. 

4. The Glossary
     ~ I have never seen a more efficient glossary in my entire life. The first portion of the glossary is dedicated to the stories. So, if you’re looking for more specific story-related vocabulary, that section is perfect. However, if you want more wide-spread vocabulary and a broader spectrum, then there is a separate section for that. It is split alphabetically (A-Z) with the English before the Korean. It helps because there are also grammar points in the back (only con: it doesn’t tell you 100% how to use them). 

5. Audio of the Stories
     ~ a big part of learning is listening. As one of the four pillars (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), being able to listen in Korean is crucial for fluency. The book comes with an audio CD and a tracklist at the front of the book!!!! You can listen and follow along or just listen, however you choose to use the audio, it’s entirely up to you! And don’t worry!!! If you purchase the ebook, you can find the audio here

The book is relatively cheap. $14USD ($18.50CAD, ₩16671, € 12) and can be found on Tuttle’s website for $18USD (go to Amazon or the Indie Publishing - it’s cheaper). 

I will be doing more book recommendations in the future for my followers! I hope that you found this useful and that if you purchase the book, you love it as much as I do!! Happy Learning Everyone :)

*intermediate: this book shows a wide range of difficulty in stories. The first few stories are extremely easy (for intermediate learners). It progressively gets more challenging towards the end, which is good for intermediate learners as it will be a challenge. I recommend this book to people who are in the intermediate stage, however, if you are a beginner or advanced, you might also learn something with this book too.

추석(Chuseok)

*background photo from: http://sasw.or.kr/zbxe/notice/396275

Today(September 13th) is 추석 in Korea!

*Vocab list at the end of the post

추석 is one of the biggest holidays of Korea and is also called 한가위. It’s on August 15th (Lunar calendar) when full moon appears. 추석 is September 13th this year. Unlike other holidays, 추석 guarantees us not only one day off but three: the day before, 추석 day, and day after. Traditionally, families gather around in 추석, playing traditional games like 윷놀이 and 제기차기, making food, and taking time to pay our gratitude to ancestors. Also severe traffic jam is expected during the season, so if you plan to visit Korea around 추석 make sure not to get caught in a traffic jam! (There’s lots of people moving around in their cars to visit family)

Other things aside, 추석 is famous for its traditional foods, especially the iconic 송편. 송편 is one of the Korean traditional rice cake(떡, tteok) eaten in 추석.

Photo Credit : Korea.net

송편 is halfmoon shaped tteok(kind of like bread), filled with a paste of red beans, sesame seeds, chestnuts, or sugar. After it’s folded into the nice halfmoon shape, it’s then steamed with pine needles. The colors of 송편 comes from natural food colorings like pumpkins or mugworts. (I personally like the green mugwort one the best. If you can, try it. You won’t regret it! - admin Sun)

Traditionally, in 추석, families sit around shaping 송편. Kids often go creative and make 송편 that look like flowers, faces or even dragons. There is no limit to their creation as long as it can hold the paste inside. There also is a saying that goes “송편을 잘 빚으면 예쁜 딸을 낳는다.” “If you shape your 송편 well, you’ll have a pretty daughter.” Of course it’s just one of the superstitions.

Sadly, the old tradition of 추석 is not as active as before. As people grow too busy taking care of themselves and as the bond between families is not as strong as before, people tend to skip the tradition of whole family gathering, from grandparents to cousins, and rather spend time with a small unit of family or don’t spend time with family at all. Also we cannot deny that preparing for 추석 is a very time and effort taking work: there are so many food to make, so many families to take care of. It seems reasonable to minimize some work. However, 추석 still withholds its title of biggest holiday(명절) in Korea and the delight of holiday and foods is still good to enjoy.

I logged onto my desktop to do this quickly. This is in regards to the last ask I received. This is the scan for Integrated Korean: Beginning 1. I believe it’s an older edition (by like a year or two) but there’s not much of a difference between this and the newer version I hear. click here.

The latest two reblogs I did have things on there that I have personally used. The other ask I answered has the links to the audio and textbook for proper pronunciation that I use as well!
