Korean

이거 뭐예요? (ee-guh-mo-eh-yo?) - Polite form

이거 뭐야? (ee-guh-mo-ya?) - Informal form

I guess this is why everyone is always saying "immersion" is important! No matter how much book-learning you do, I guess it can't really prepare you for 1) people speaking really fast (which is normal for them), 2) shortened words and 3) slang!

Personally, I reckon it's all about perseverance! And exposing yourself to the language on a day-to-day basis, even if it's like one new word, or revising something you've learnt )

There are two main ways to say "Thank You"

감사합니다 / 감사해요 -> sounds more formal

고맙습니다 / 고마워요 -> less formal

Between friends and family we use an even less formal variation --> 고마워 or even 땡큐 (romanisation of "Thank you")

I personally really like:

Éclat: Shine / Radiance

And I think this is the cutest word ever!

Ronronner: To purr

Hello everyone

Just discovered this forum and I'm really excited to be a part of it~

I am a native speaker of English and I am fluent in Korean (TOPIK Level 6). I can also speak French and Chinese (Intermediate) and also a bit of Japanese.

I would like to learn Spanish, Italian and Arabic in the future as well~

I also just started a blog (makemeapolyglot.blogspot.com) to help others achieve the same goal of becoming a true polyglot so please have a look at it if you have a chance ^^

Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone!

I just created a blog (makemeapolyglot.blogspot.com) to help others learn languages and also help myself learn as I reflect upon my language learning methods and also by writing down "Words of the Day" etc.

It would be really helpful if anyone has any tips in how I can make my blog a helpful resource for language learning ^^ Also, if anyone has any experience in using a blog to monitor your own progress, please let me know whether it has been effective for you!

Thanks
