TAC 2009 Day 43
I had a conversation session today that mostly centered around Cyworld and NateOn. Also, this morning my copy of Cracking the Chinese Puzzles arrived, so I am excited to start on that. TAC 2009 Totals Children's Books: 30 Manhwa Volumes: 8 Movies: 9 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

TAC 2009 Day 44
And in the evening I read chapter 4 of Harry Potter. I also started looking through CTCP, but it was stuff I already knew so far. TAC 2009 Totals Children's Books: 30 Manhwa Volumes: 8 Movies: 9 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

TAC 2009 Day 46
I read most of chapter 6 of Harry Potter. I also checked out The Golden Compass from the library which might be a step up from my current book. TAC 2009 Totals Children's Books: 30 Manhwa Volumes: 8 Movies: 9 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

TAC 2009 Day 47
I finished chapter 6 of Harry Potter, and read both 동물원 and 빵점 맞은 날. (무서워!) I've been trying to keep a little diary in Cyworld, and today I will treat you, my readers, to today's entry. I think the first sentence is a little messed up, but this is off the top of my head. Give me a break! ~~다이어리 다이어리~~ 오늘 일하는 때동안 조금 심심해졌지만 아주 나쁜 날 아닌것이야. 집에 돌아오고 계속 공부했어. 쉬운 책 2권도 해리포터 읽었어. 어제밤 한국어 도서관에서 여러책들을 빌렸거든~ 1~2주 뒤에 많은 만화책도 만화영화들은 도착할거야!! 도라에몽씨, 어서 오세요! 케로로도~ 안녕! Anyway, I'm experimenting a bit with composition, and trying to find the most effective way without building bad habits. Once I have done this for a while longer, I'll put up a post with my thoughts on the approach I'm taking. TAC 2009 Totals Children's Books: 32 Manhwa Volumes: 8 Movies: 9 Edit: 웁스!

Tell me about it. I just had my term papers. "오늘 일하는 동안 조금 심심했지만 아주 나쁜 날은 아닌 것 같아. 집에 돌아오고 계속 공부했어. 쉬운 책 2권이랑 해리포터 읽었어. 어제밤 한국어 도서관에서 여러책들을 빌렸거든~ 1~2주 뒤에 많은 만화책이랑 만화영화들이 도착할거야!! 도라에몽씨, 어서 오세요! 케로로도~ " 1. You can't use 동안 and 때 together. 동안 is used to refer to the period. 때 is used to refer to that particular time. Since being bored is a continuous thing (You can't be bored at only one point) you have to use 동안. It's like difference between a) I got bored doing homework (동안) b) When you do homework, you shouldn't get bored (때) 2. 심심하다 is "to be bored" on its own. So you don't have to add -해졌- to convey the meaning you want in this context. 3. Adding -은 makes it more natural. -같아 is an ending/verb used to add you opinion, and it's VERY frequently used in Korean even if you wouldn't use it in English. e.g. 아주 나쁜 날은 아닌 것 같아. - I don't think it was a really bad day ->It wasn't a really bad day (for me). 4. I think you excessively use -도. It means "also, too" but it's used in a different way from English - and by no ways does it mean "and"! To use -도, you use it for both (or all) of the objects you want to talk about. e.g. 나는 집도 돈도 친구도 없다고.. 5. I can't explain why, but in that context 만화영화들이 is correct, not 만화영화들은. The latter sounds a bit artificial and non-Korean Good luck! :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thank you so much!
I think I'm in a much better position now to digest these points than when I was writing before. The next one will be better, I promise! 1 person has voted this message useful |
