For the February Challenge I'm posting a gorgeous video of 강산에 's beautiful song, 가꾸로 강을 거슬러 오른 저 힘찬 연어들처럼 (like the powerful salmon swimming upstream against the river's current).
KangSanEh: Salmon Lyrics are available at that link, too (English and Korean). Wonderful song, can't stop listening to it, hope you like it too. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Hey I know I'm a little late but internet suddenly crashed for a while so I couldn't
post anything. The song I chose is My Love- Ailee ft. Swings I only translated the first half and used a dictionary for the whole thing! I have the real English translation but I didn't change anything just to see how close i really got which wasn't very much at all sometimes. Well anyway here it is: You gonna be a My Love X 2 내가 너무 너무나 힘들 때면 I'm having too much difficulty 언제나 내 옆에서 니 어깰 빌려줘 When I'm near you... 너만 내 옆에 있으면 그 어떤 것도 난 I hope to always be by your side 두렵지 않아 넌 날 지켜주는 Boy Do not be afraid, keep guard everyday woo woo woo woo woo 날 웃게 해준 한 사람 You are the person to make me laugh woo woo woo woo woo 날 지켜줄 단 한 사람 The only person to protect me 때론 다투기도 하지만 There are times when we quarrel but 그래도 너만 있어준다면 Alright you're here for me alright 이 노랠 너와 This song's for you You gonna be a My Love 딴 여자완 달러 another women with money 니가 무슨 시곌 찼는지 What kind of watch you wear 어떤 차를 타고 다니든지 Which car you ride often 난 상관없어 I don't care 다른 건 관심 없어 Because I have no concern for different things Baby you’re my love Ma ma love Ma ma love Love Love Also I have a question about conjugating verbs. Is there a resource anyone could recommend that would teach it to me. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

The great thing about Korean is there's not much conjugating. Verbs either stay in the basic form or they take on the 아/어/여 form before attaching to the grammatical ending. So easy!
There's just a small number of unusual ones (like 듣다 모르다 붓다 etc.) that you have to learn individually because they don't follow the typical pattern. Here is a site that will conjugate Korean verbs dongsa.net You can check out talktomeinkorean.com Level 1 Lesson 16 for an explanation of whether to use 아 어 or 여 in conjugations. I didn't specifically look for them, but I assume TTMIK also has lessons explaining how to conjugate the so-called "irregular" verbs, the ones whose base ends in ㅂ ㅅ 르 etc. Even those have rules, so they're not all that irregular. For each new grammatical construction that you encounter, you just need to pay attention to how it attaches to the verb. It will either attach to the basic form of the verb or you'll need to conjugate with 아 어 여 before attaching. That takes a little while to get used to, but it makes sense (or just sounds right) after a while. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I'm sorry for the delay. I haven't had internet access for the past few days. Unfortunately I wasn't able to complete the song challenge, but I still learned some Mandarin words from it and took the time to read up on the phonetics, so I'll say it was worth it. Congrats to everyone who made it!
The March Challenge is to work through a GLOSS lesson in your target language(s). They are free online lessons by the Defense Language Institute and are available in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, covering the team's main languages. The levels roughly correspond to the CEFR scale: A1 = 0/0+, A2 = 1, B1 = 1+, B2 = 2/2+, C1 = 3/3+, C2 = 4/4+. The lessons all use native materials like TV snippets and newspaper articles and focus on different skills. It's up to you how intensively you study your chosen lesson. Ideally, you'll do something that suits your level of proficiency and is a little challenging. You have time to post about your experiences with the lesson until March 31.

Somebody recently posted in this thread some links to Korean songs. I listened to a few
of them a couple days ago and they were great, but I can't find that post anymore. Anyone know what happened to it? 1 person has voted this message useful | |
