I just looked up the second character and it comes back as 각 (reading) / 다리 (meaning). Out of curiousity, I tried 미각 in Naver's English dictionary but the only result uses completely different Hanja characters (味覺, the first of which I already know, which means "taste/맛") and that translates to "palate, sense of taste", so apparently the 美脚 combo never turned into an actual word in Korean.
Oh...your post reminds me of the first time I saw a sports jersey for a Chinese team that had the simplified version of 國(국) on it. The box looked so empty in that character compared to the traditional form. Edited by Warp3 on 02 February 2011 at 1:27am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I can never read the character for "country" in Korean or any Chinese language because Japanese changed the character to "国". Gah.
-- Watched Dream High 8 and 9 today. After a bad, and I mean bad, first four episodes, the show has gotten good. Good thing Eunjung and IU are in it or else I wouldn't have made it past episode 2. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

That's what Wiktionary shows for the Simplified Chinese as well. The Traditional Chinese is the same as the Hanja character, with completely different objects inside the box compared to the Japanese / Simplified Chinese version.
I've been downloading Dream High, but haven't actually started in on it yet. I'm about to watch Athena: GoW episode 2 right now. Episode 1 was quite entertaining, so here's hoping that continues. Edited by Warp3 on 02 February 2011 at 2:02am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hanja looks interesting, especially since there is going to be new readings. Sounds like
your studies are going well which is good, and the media you are watching seems to compliment it well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm putting Japanese on hold until my Korean is much better, but mainly because my Japanese is going anywhere with my 70/30 system I have. I really want to improve my Korean much more than Japanese, and it'd benefit me a lot more if I focused on Korean and picked Japanese back up afterward.
I'm changing my major, and that was why I was even learning Japanese now (instead of later) because I would have needed it to graduate. Going to one language so that I can finally get good at Korean by the end of the year. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

That's pretty much what I've done with Spanish. Every time I spent time working on Spanish (or considered watching a DVD or reading a book in Spanish), all I could think about was that I could be spending that time on Korean instead. I still review my Spanish SRS deck (taken entirely from Assimil dialogs), but the reviews go very quickly as the intervals are quite long now. I spend, at most, 3-5 min per day on Spanish currently. However, doing this has sped up my Korean learning quite a bit, since I can devote that extra time to it. I still want to learn Spanish, I just want to learn Korean more right now. (This is also the reason I'm avoiding even starting on any other languages that are on my hit list, like Japanese, as I don't need the distraction.)
My SRS load has gone up quite a bit recently due to the pace that I've been adding them from the Gold List (usually 3 lists a day which is 48 words), but many of the words are sticking better than I'd feared, so the reviews haven't been a problem yet. I've also discovered while doing this (thanks to Anki's helpful "red background" indicator) that several of those words I had duplicated in the Gold List without realizing it (my sources were two Korean language textbooks (only adding words I hadn't already learned elsewhere), my "words I keep seeing on TV" notebook, and the dialogs I had transcribed from the game they played in Heroes episode 1 and 2, so there was some overlap). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Reading a lot more has helped me retain the new words I'm learning, since all the words I look up are from articles online or drama scripts I downloaded.
Gonna slow stuff down for a week or two. My classes love putting their exams all at the same time. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Exam hell is over for now. Got a lot of new songs: Kan Mi Youn's (Mi Yeon by correct romanization) Paparazzi, IU's The Story Only I Didn't Know, 2 singles from 5dolls, and I've yet to listen to Kahi's solo mini album. And Secret keeps winning, so I'm happy.
