1월 도전을 시작할래요? 한국어 있는 자기 소개는 어때요? 1월 도전으로서 Team Lobo가 비슷한 일을 했고 꽤 잘 된 것 같은데요.
Shall we start a January challenge? How about self-introductions containing Korean? Team Lobo did something similar as a January challenge and I think it went quite well.

네, 좋은 생각이에요! 그럼, 제가 시작할까요?

저는 마티아스이라고 해요. 벌써 4년전에 한국어의 공부 시작했다. 그지만, 열심히 공부했던 기간은 그렇게
길지 않다. 연습만 많이 했어요. 친구들이랑 보통한 이야기하고 드라마를 보고 향상시켰다. 올해 열심히 한
국어 공부해서 한국능력시험4을 보려고 했는데 결국엔 중국에 인턴을 구해서 8월까지 열심히 할 언어는 중국
어이에요. 당연히 한국어를 맨날 듣고 한국인 친구들이랑 얘기 할텐데.. 그건은 제 생각으로 공부라는 거 아
니다 ㅎㅎ

암튼, 올해 TAC 14 화이팅!

Quick translation:
Yeah, that's a good idea! Then, should I start?

My name is Mathias. It's already been 4 years since I started studying Korean. Despite that, there
hasn't been any long period during which I really studied seriously. I just practiced a lot. I
improved just by having standard (everyday style) conversations with my friends and watching dramas.
This year, I had planned to study seriously and pass the TOPIK 4 but in the end I found an internship
in China so the language I'll study a lot until August will be Chinese. Of course, I'll listen to
Korean and talk to my Korean friends everday but.. That's not what I call study. ㅎㅎ

Anyway, Good luck for this year TAC14!

Ah yes, that sounds like an excellent challenge. I'll write something up when I have time
- my Korean is still pretty bad :)

Just to clarify: The way it was done in the Team Lobo thread (which is what I suggest here) is
that each person can write as much or as little as they wish in Korean (though more is
obviously encouraged), but they must at least write *some* of it in Korean. If you feel
comfortable enough writing the whole thing in Korean, then go for it; if you feel that even
writing a couple sentences in Korean is challenging, then do that and finish the entry in
English. Since it is early in the year, it's important that the challenge is one that is still
accessible to beginners. By keeping the amount of Korean variable each person can decide
how much they need to write to effectively challenge themselves.

팀원 여러분 안녕하세요. 나는 셰인이라고 해요. 미국에 살고 4년 4개월동안 한국어를 공
부해요. 올해는 문법능력을 계발하기가 최우선 목표예요. 게다가 작년보다 글쓰기도 말하
기도 연습 더 하기로 했어요.

팀 구미호 화이팅!

Rough translation:
Hello team members, my name is Shane. I live in the US and have studied Korean for 4
years and 4 months. This year, improving my grammar skills is my primary goal.
Furthermore, I also intend to practice writing and speaking more than last year.

Go Team Gumiho!

(That is a bit shorter than I originally intended to make my introduction, but I ran out of
things I wanted to say.)

여러분 안녕하세요? 제 이름은 아담이에요. 제가 미국사람인데 원래 한국에 온 지 4년 돼서 영어를 가르쳤어요. 요즘 전라도에 초등학교에서 일해요. 흠... 작년 3월부터 과외 수업을 듣기 시작했어요. 작년 4월에 박완서의 그 많던 싱아는 누가 다 먹었을까라는 책을 읽고 좋아해서 그 책을 읽는 다음에 한국어를 더 열심히 공부를 시작했어요. 속편이 영어로 번역을 안 하기 때문이라서 그 책과 다른 작가의 책을 한국어로 읽고 싶었어요... 아 그리고, 노래방에 가는거 너~무 좋아해요 ㅋㅋㅋ

여러분 화이팅!


Hello everyone. My name is Adam. I'm an American who originally came to Korea four years ago to teach English. These days I work at an elementary school in Jeollado. Um... I started taking private classes since March last year. In April last year I read Park Wan Suh's "Who Ate Up All The Shinga?" and I liked it so after reading it I started studying harder. The sequel wasn't translated into English so I want to read it (and other authors' books) in Korean... oh, and I really like going to noraebangs. haha

Good luck everyone!



Also, since I wasn't here for the Korean music talk, here's my input: my favorite bands are the ones I can sing in noraebang. Seriously. Noraebang is one of my favorite things about Korea - think karaoke with your friends. And alcohol. (Sometimes without alcohol.) (Usually with alcohol.) (And it's a good place to bring a date!)

If you intend on going to Korea, I recommend that you like singers with whom you share a similar voice type. I used to be more of a fan of girl groups, but then I tried singing Ga-In in a noraebang. If you're a baritone like me, it's just not going to sound right.

I'm a fan of Busker Busker (indie/pop), San E (rap - good live), Roy Kim (indieish/pop), SHINee (idol boy group), Leessang (hip-hop - VERY good live), and Yoon Do Hyun Band (rock). Akdong Musician (pop) and Bobby Kim (ballad) aren't bad. 2NE1 (idol girl group) is terrific, I like Ga-In (pop) a lot, and just to totally ignore everything I said in the previous paragraph, my all time favorite noraebang song is Miss A's "Good Girl, Bad Girl."

I think that's one reason I like CNBLUE out of the male vocal groups: 정용화 (the lead singer)
is usually in my vocal range (not in every song but in many of them). Even singing along to
someone like 조용필 can be tricky as he sings a higher pitch than I care to sing. In fact, I've
memorized his song 여행을 떠나요 (the only male vocal song I've memorized to date, though
I plan to change that this year) but singing it in the same pitch as him is tough (doable, but
my vocal cords don't like me so much afterward). Strangely enough, many girl groups are
easier to sing along with since I can often just shift down a full octave and be comfortably in
my vocal range. In fact one of my favorite songs to sing is Secret's "사랑은 Move" which
gives me no real vocal range issues at all.

아, 또다시 자기소개를 해야 되네요... 이번에는 어떤 걸로 얘기할까요?

저는 레나테라고 합니다. 한국어를 배우기 시작한 지 지금 4년 가까이 됐어요. 처음에는 대학교에서 한국어 수업을 들었지만 이제는 제 능력의 수준에 맞는 수업이 없습니다. 그래서 2년 반 전에 한국어를 독학으로 배우게 됐어요. 그때는 이 포럼을 발견해서 혼자서 공부해도 다행히 잘 할 수 있었습니다.

다른 해야 할 일들이 많아서 올해에는 한국어 공부에 집중하지 않기로 했어요. 4월에 졸업하기 위한 구술시험을 보고 나서 제 미래에 대해 생각해야겠죠. 뭘 하고 싶은지 그리고 뭘 할 수 있을지 아직 확신하지 못해요. 그래서 졸업하기 후에 여러 가지 인턴쉽들을 해 보고 싶어요. 가르치기를 좋아하는 편이고 이 순간에 선생이 되는 것은 좋은 생각인 것 같은데 그 목적을 완수하도록 좀 더 대학교를 다니게 될 수도 있어요. 그러면 그것을 위한 돈도 좀 벌어야 돼겠어요.

한국어 말고 다른 언어에 대한 관심도 생겼고요. 2011년에 페르시아어를 배우기 시작했는데 그 언어를 공부하다가 좀 더 한국어 공부에 집중하기로 결심했어요. 하지만 이제는 이란 출신의 남자친구를 사귀고 있어서 다시 페르시아어를 공부할 작정이에요.

계획이 너무 많죠... 그래도 제 한국어 수준을 올해에도 조금 더 끌어올릴 수 있었으면 좋겠어요. 그 목적을 위해 일년간 여러 가지 책을 읽고 팟캐스트를 듣겠어요.

I'm Renate. It's been nearly 4 years now since I started studying Korean. At first I attended language classes at university, but now there are no classes which fit my level of Korean proficiency. So I started to learn Korean through self-study 2 1/2 years ago. Luckily at that time I discovered this forum, so I was able to do well even though I studied on my own.

Because there are so many other things I have to do, I decided not to focus on studying Korean this year. After I take the oral examinations for my graduation in April, I will have to think about my future. I'm not yet sure what I want to do and what I can do. So I want to do several internships after my graduation. Because I like to teach, becoming a teacher now could be a good idea. To reach that goal, I might attend university some more. If I want to do that, I will have to earn some money for it as well.

I've also become interested in another language apart from Korean. I started learning Persian in 2011, but then decided to focus some more on my Korean study. But now, as I'm dating a guy from Iran, I plan to study Persian again.

I have too many plans, don't I... But still it would be great if I could improve my level of Korean a bit this year as well. For this goal I'm going to read several books and listen to podcasts.
