#study motivation
Hey there friends~~ Since I’m not a very avid listener of k-pop, please tell me some k-pop songs you would like to learn. I will help you learn vocabulary and grammar structures of these songs so you can sing along.
As well as recommendations, please don’t be afraid to ask questions!!!!
Hello, everyone! Today I’ll be teaching you a very common phrasing in conversational Korean. This includes poems, dramas, and songs - so I’m sure you have encountered this somewhere if you’re into Korean media. Let’s get into it!!
When you want to describe how something is done - in the same way as another action or remains in the same state as it is. (i.e. “Leave it as it is,” “Did you do as I told you?,” “I wrote down as I heard”
Construction:
Past tense: -(으)ㄴ 대로
Present tense: -(느)ㄴ 대로
Examples
보다 - 본 대로 (the way/as you saw it) 보는 대로 (the way/as you see it)
하다 - 한 대로 (the way/as you did it) 하는 대로 (the way/as you do it)
아는 대로just the way one knows
- 아는 대로 말해 주세요. Please tell me everything you know (just the way you know it)
- 아는 대로 쓰세요. Write what you know. (without changing anything)
말한 대로 just the way one said
- 제가 말한 대로 했어요? Did you do it as I said/the way I told you?
- 효진 씨가 말한 대로 했는데, 안 됐어요. I did as Hyojin said, but it didn’t work.
뜰은 대로 just like I heard
- 들은 대로 이야기해 주세요. Tell me exactly as you heard it.
- 들은 대로 잘 전달했어요. I delivered the message well. I passed on what I heard accordingly.
OTHER USAGES AND FORMS
- meaning ‘as soon as’ after a verb stem. → 도착하는 대로 전화해 주세요 (call me as you arrive)
- (v.s.+(던) 대로) to talk about a past action that was repeated or wasn’t finished → 평소에 하던 대로 하세요. (do it in the way you’ve always done it)
- 이대로, 저대로, 그대로 →이대로(just the way it is now), 저대로 (just the way that (that over there) is now, 그대로 (just the way it is in general)
- Noun + 대로(following [noun], as the [noun] goes) → 제 말대로 just like I said, 예언대로 just as the prophecy said, 마음대로 just as your heart says
- VERY POPULAR PHRASE → 마음대로 하세요 Do as you please. (could be sarcastic or genuine; the same meaning as English, but the literal meaning is like ‘do just as your heart says/desires’
This concept is a little bit difficult to get the grasp of, I’ll admit, but once you do, you can use it all the time! You can have much more natural conversations with natives and be able to recognise it in your favourite k-pop songs and say, “oh! I learned that from Taya’s Korean Study Blog!! Amazing” haha :)
I hope you all learned a lot and don’t be afraid of asking any pressing questions, I will reply as soon as possible!!
DISCLAIMER: This lesson was taken from TTMIK chapter 7 or 8 (I can’t remember). It is simply notes from my notebook and I am in no way claiming this lesson (wording and all) as my own. It is just a more condensed version and hopefully easier to understand version of the original. Thank you for understanding.
This grammar structure expresses the completion of a specific action. In addition to the fact that an action is completed, it includes the feeling of the speaker. There are two main feelings this structure is associated with…
1) Happy & Relieved (getting rid of a burden)
다 끝내 버렸어요! I’ve finished everything!
고민하다가, 사 버렸어요! I was hesitating, but I’ve (finally) bought it!
2) Sad (something happened in a different way than expected)
잃어 버렸어요… I’ve lost it…
떨어져 버렸어요… It dropped…
Sample Sentences
어제 산 핸드폰을 잃어 버렸어요. I lost the phone I bought yesterday.
안 좋은 일은 다 잊어 버렸어요~ I forgot all the bad stuff
빨리 끝내 버리세요.~ Finish quickly!
벌써 다 말해 버렸어요. Wow, already finished talking
10분 더 기다려도 안 오면 혼자 가 버릴 거예요. If I wait for 10 minutes and you don’t come, I will end up going by myself.
어제 쓴 글이 마음에 안 들어서 다 지워 버렸어요. I didn’t like the post I wrote yesterday, so I ended up erasing it.
호진 씨한테 기다려 달라고 했는데, 그냥 가 버렸네요. I told Hojin to wait, but she just went (without me)
컴퓨터가 멈춰 버렸어요. The computer stopped (working).
시작 한 김에 오늘 다 끝내 버리는 거 어때? Why don’t we finish everything while we’re at it?
영화가 벌써 시작해 버렸어요! Omg, the movie already started!
That’s all everyone!! I hope you found this lesson useful and hope that you can use it in your everyday conversations. 솔직히 쓰기 안 어려워서 해보세요 ^^ 궁금한거 있으시면, 꼭 알려주십시오. Please let me know if you have anyquestions ASAP!! I would love to help you so don’t be afraid to ask.

Hello, everyone! So, we all know that every language has a million different version of past, future, and present tense. This right here is a type of past tense which means (Noun) “used to” do or be (Verb). The real difference between (으)ㄴ & -던 is that -던 implies the past action/state is not continued or completed. You may have heard this form very often with K-pop songs or in regular conversation, so I feel that it’s important to learn before you get confused.
Examples
가다 - 간 곳 the place you went to
가던 곳 the place you used to go to, but not anymore
보다 - 본 영화 the movie you watched
보던 영화 that movie that you didn’t finish watching
With action verbs, using just -던 is fine (-았/었/였던 is sufficient). HOWEVER, with descriptive verbs, it is much much more natural to use -았/었/였던
예뻤던, 작았던, 비쌌던, 등, 등
Sample Sentences
예전에 제가 자주 가던 곳이에요. A place that I used to go to before.
예뻤던 경은 씨가 지금은… Kyung-eun was pretty, but now…
작년에는 키가 작았던 석진 씨가 지금은 키가 커요. Last year, Seokjin was short, but now he is tall.
친했던 친구들이 지금은 외국에 살아요. Friends that I used to be close to now live abroad.
지난 주에 이야기 하던 거예요. This is what we were talking about last week.
지난 주에 이야기 한 거예요. This is what we talked about a lot.
So, that’s all everyone! Next lesson I will post some different kinds of past tenses that there are in the Korean language. Make sure to write me some messages or reply to the lesson with a few sentences using this grammar point! Remember, don’t be afraid to use your target language, even if you think you’re wrong. Even if you are, you will grow from your mistakes. Don’t worry, friends!! Use your language as much as humanly possible!!
자, 끝났어요! 아쉽네요 ㅠ 괜찮아요 내일 봅시다! 다른거 가르쳐줄게요. 감사합니다!!

Good morning, everyone! Here is today’s tip of the day.
Usually, the hardest part of an assignment is getting started. One of the best ways to deal with this is easing your way into the task. Separate it to the smallest tasks and only focus on one task at a time. These will appear much easier than thinking “I need to start writing my essay”.

Thank you for 9,000 followers!!!
it seems like i’m going to have to relearn the very basics of chemistry because i forgot basically everything. but, guess who also registered for a chemistry class this fall, so the material is necessary for me to succeed in the class.

i am thinking of changing up how i take photos. this is mostly due to me switching to note taking on an ipad. i feel like i should take advantage of the placo paper and white edge of the ipad. hope you all like this change!
• •
i have posted once again. i have not been taken many notes lately as my school year has come to an end. i am now using an ipad to take notes instead of my surface pro.
• good night•
this photo was more of just a test, rather than one that was meant to be posted. because i am now taking notes on good notes, i am trying to learn how to edit the pictures so that the notes look as if they were in dark mode. onenote would inverse my notes automatically when dark mode was on, but goodnotes does not do this. i also don’t want to write on black paper as the highlighter tool doesn’t show up. this is how the inverse editing turned out!
good afternoon, here are my first notes from this semester. these notes are for chemistry two. i have always enjoyed the conceptual parts of chemistry, but never have been a huge fan of the mathematics.
• good evening •
these are some notes from chemistry. however, i have decided to do typed notes for chemistry and then handwritten study guides if i have time. This switch is to save time and be more time-efficient.
Good morning, everyone!
I decided to post a bit early today too since I have a study session at noon today. Here are some notes from my calculus class. I started college this week and, honestly, it has been both super exhausting but super fun.
• Good Afternoon •
Here is today’s study notes post. I first did these notes in white paper to see if it looked better for the instagram aesthetic. However, I decided to change it to black notes since I thought it looks better.
• good evening •
i have moved all of my instagram accounts to my study opal account. please check it out if you’re on insta!
• good afternoon •
check out my last post to see the study with me video for these notes!

I added this page to this year’s set up because it’s only my goals to begin posting new content!
Self-growth, I chose this word for this year to remind myself to put time into me. I have put others before me and now it’s time give myself time grow and love the person I am becoming
