My Korean Journey ๐ŸŒบ ๊ฝƒ๊ธธ๋งŒ ๊ฑท์ž

Korean
41

Stop, stop. :rofl: I was at local bookstore the other day and was browsing the language-learning section and saw a Korean graded reader. I picked it up just to flip through it and saw it even included mini-lessons on Hangul and vocab, and though, โ€œwow, this could be a good resource for starting to learn Korean!โ€, then realized the danger I was in and had to put the book down and back away slowly.

seriously-let

Just gonna leave this hereโ€ฆ :smiling_face:

Itโ€™s a designed language
Hangul is often touted as one of the worldโ€™s most logical writing systems, and with good reason โ€” it was developed with the sole purpose of being easy to learn. Hangul was created in the mid-fifteenth century by King Sejong to combat the problem of illiteracy amongst common people. Itโ€™s therefore simple, elegant, and each aspect of it is carefully thought through for maximum efficiency.

It was designed to be easy for everyone
This goes back to the fact that Hangul was made so that less educated people could easily read and write. The writing system therefore has ease of use built into its design. Today, itโ€™s one of the most logical and efficient writing systems in the world.

Itโ€™s simple enough for small children
By the time they reach school age, most children can use Hangul fluently. This means that illiteracy is virtually nonexistent in Korea โ€” the government claims that the country has a 99% literacy rate.

The symbols correspond to mouth shapes
The shapes of the symbols in Hangul are based on the physical actions you need to make to produce that sound. This makes them easy to remember! For example, the symbol ใ„ฑ (romanised as โ€˜gโ€™ or โ€˜kโ€™) represents the back of the tongue pressed up against the speakerโ€™s soft palate. The symbol ใ… (โ€˜mโ€™) represents the speakerโ€™s lips pressed together.

The corruption begins, I seeโ€ฆ Ah well, I was planning on moving later this year. More space = more room for books and more reason to stray from the JP path of righteousness, perhaps?

For me, no space = still room for books, I just treat my living space like a game of tetris - I must organise this unending stream of books! :rofl:

Daaang, thatโ€™s awesome bibliothecary! You had a great August! Out of curiosity, how much vocab/grammar did you pull out of that group? Like, did you find a lot of stuff you wanted to learn/review? Or did you know 90% of it and most of it was just โ€œoh yeah, I know thatโ€?

Thank 10k gradings in particular is amazing. I feel like it would just start smushing together in my brain at that point and I wouldnโ€™t be able to objectively gauge a bookโ€™s difficulty. Heck, Iโ€™m running into that with JP now and I havenโ€™t read all that much.

I enjoy how your reading often seems to be a mix of childrenโ€™s books and smut :rofl:

I knew most of it - my previous study method was all anki + textbooks with very little actual reading, so I feel like Iโ€™m catching up with my reading skills this time around.

Iโ€™m reading a few books around the L30 mark (which is about the level I studied to before) and the biggest thing holding me back isnโ€™t grammar or vocab, itโ€™s my reading stamina: I find that Iโ€™m only able to read for 10-15 minutes at a time before needing to take a break.

So Iโ€™m reading higher level books in short bursts and working my way up through lower level books at the same time, which I hope will help raise my reading skills to the same kind of level as my vocab/grammar knowledge.

It helps that Iโ€™m reading a high volume in a short period of time; I donโ€™t have the chance to forget! :rofl:

Thatโ€™s why I love parenting BLs so much: wholesome adventures of cute kids, and after theyโ€™re asleep, smut! :heart_eyes:

What a quiet week for meโ€ฆ :rofl:

  • In the end, I didnโ€™t make much progress with ํ•ด๋ฆฌํฌํ„ฐ and ์‹œ๋งจํ‹ฑ ์—๋Ÿฌ :underage:, but Iโ€™ll keep plugging awayโ€ฆ :melting_face:
  • Iโ€™ve read 75% of the ๋‘๋ฃจ์ฑ…๋ฐฉ - Free (series) | L0-19 books, only 28 more to go!
  • I think Iโ€™ve graded extra for all the books Iโ€™ve read in Korean so far, a total of 15k+ comparisons. :flushed:

Plans

Book club! :partying_face:

No idea how long that will take, but assuming Iโ€™m able to get through it, Iโ€™ll probably just keep working through HP/์—๋Ÿฌ/๋‘๋ฃจ. :books:

Review

So many Lion King films this weekโ€ฆ :lion:

titus

I noticed that the dubbed version of the first film doesnโ€™t have the copious amount of wordplay that the original has, which makes it easier to understand, but loses some of the appeal for older audiences. I came across a blog that has the original lyrics, the Korean translation, and the dubbed lyrics for I Just Canโ€™t Wait to be King - you can see how much is changed in the one song alone.

When it comes to what can be lost in translation, I usually think of poetry, and to a lesser extent, (high) literature. It didnโ€™t really occur to me that even an animated childrenโ€™s film could lose a lot of its character due to the translation. Obviously there are factors specific to the medium that influence the translation (timing, matching charactersโ€™ mouth movements), as well as wordplay based on cultural things that arenโ€™t easy to replicate in other languages.

Banzai: Yeah. We could have whateverโ€™s โ€œlionโ€ [lyinโ€™] around!
๋ฐ˜์ž์ด: ๊ทธ๋ž˜, ์‚ฌ์ž ๋ฐ˜์ฐฌ์—์„œ ์‹์‚ฌ ์ข€ ํ•ด ๋ณด์ž!
Shenzi: Oh wait, wait, wait. I got one, I got one. Make mine a โ€œcubโ€ [club] sandwich. Whatcha think?
์…ด์ง€: ์ž ๊น, ์ž ๊น, ๋‚œ ๋ญ˜ ๋จน์„๊นŒ? ๋‚œ, ์‚ฌ์ž ์ƒŒ๋“œ์œ„์น˜ ์–ด๋–ค๊ฐ€?

Itโ€™s funny what learning a new languages unearths from your memories - I think Iโ€™ve mentioned before that starting to read in a new language made me remember the specific methods I used when I was learning to read as a child, and watching these Disney films I remembered that often there were things I had missed or not understood when I first watched them as a kid, but rewatching them months or years later, Iโ€™d suddenly understand certain jokes I hadnโ€™t before. Which just shows how repeated viewing can aid understanding and act as a measure of your progressโ€ฆ The wisdom of children! :rofl:

I finally finished reading all the ๋‘๋ฃจ์ฑ…๋ฐฉ - Free (series) | L0-20 books! Itโ€™s been so hot this week, I couldnโ€™t concentrate on anything difficult, so I just binged the last several books. Iโ€™ll just leave this here for now until whenever series reviews are implemented:

This free series aims to make reading in Korean easy for children of multicultural families, but itโ€™s useful for language learners of all ages who want to start reading native content. There are books suitable for complete beginners who only know how to read ํ•œ๊ธ€, as well as more difficult books suitable for low-intermediate level learners - and everything in-between!

There are more than 100 books available, and as they are all under 20 pages long, they can be read quite quickly. There are a variety of topics covered, such as everyday life, food, animals, science, technology, history, and folk tales. Due to the aim of the site, youโ€™ll find several books (fiction and non-fiction) about Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and China.

The books are all accompanied by high quality native audio: the two narrators enunciate well, their performances are enjoyable, and the recordings are very clear. There are also colourful illustrations on every page, depicting the scenes described in the text, which helps provide context.

Overall itโ€™s an excellent resource for those wanting to improve their Korean reading skills. The books are high quality, include native audio, and best of all, theyโ€™re free! I only wish there were more of them, as they are wonderful for extensive reading.

I mentioned in another thread that ๋งŒํ™”๊ฒฝ is shutting down at the end of May 2024, so Iโ€™ve decided to read as many of their free webtoon series as I can before then. There are about 200 series, and 260 days to go, so I probably wonโ€™t get through them all, but Iโ€™ll give it my best shot! :laughing:

Below is a list the current titles in alphabetical order. Once I finish a title, Iโ€™ll link it to its anilist page (since Natively doesnโ€™t track webtoons yet). A small number of these are offered on other webtoon sites (so I probably wonโ€™t bother with those), but most are only available on ๋งŒํ™”๊ฒฝ, and may be lost forever once the service closes.
