Okay, so I needed to update these music videos like yesterday!!! Haha!

Here’s an artist I just started listening to and I’m definitely becoming a fan. Hopefully you’ll like the music too.

Chill Mix for Studying

So you guys remember when I used to highlight new music I was listening to? Usually K-pop… well lately, I’ve been listening to a lot more chill music. It really helps me calm down and focus.

I usually use Apple Music now because I like that the playlists update daily and I get to listen to new artists constantly. But, Spotify has some really nice playlists too. (Or maybe you’re a YouTube person. Type: Lofi Kpop or Chill Kpop – you’re welcome!)

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. I’ll be highlighting new artists that I’m listening to again soon too!

감사합니다!

안녕하세요!

I can’t believe it’s been 10년!!! 와우!! Thank you all so much for being here on this journey with me all these years.

When I first started this blog, I wanted to journal my progress. So I made WOTD, Grammar of the Week posts, and a bunch of other stuff to share what I was learning with others but also so I could look back on what I had learned. As this site grew, I ultimately had to go back and edit a lot of those posts because… well… they weren’t always right. (LOL) But I was learning and super excited and I thank all of you, even some of my friends who knew more than me at the time and were able to help me when I was struggling so I could learn/share correct information.

It’s been so much fun and although I don’t post as much as I used to, I’m still around. I haven’t abandoned this site. It’s just been difficult trying to keep up with this while I juggle “life”. But I see all the support and all the posts and I thank you guys so much for subscribing, liking, commenting and sharing the posts! Your interactions here really keep me encouraged.

I’m still on my journey. I’m still learning. I hope you all are as well! I hope my tips and WOTD and Grammar of the Weeks have been helpful!

Eventually, I’ll revamp to make this a bit easier for me to keep up with but I know there’s a lot of content here so I don’t want to overlap that.

But in the meantime, keep learning and practicing your Korean and I’ll be doing the same!!

Thanks you guys!! See you soon!

…타고 갑니다. [Word of the Day]

안녕하세요!

오늘 여행에 대해 이야기하고 있습니다. Well, maybe not just travel but different ways to travel. I know we talked about this before but I thought it’d be a good idea to go over again. Let’s get started!

Quick note: if this post looks kind of weird, sorry in advance! I usually use my laptop to write but today I can’t. I’ll fix it when I get back on my laptop.

…타고 갑니다. (…ta-go gabnida.) | “ride somewhere”

I.e.,

가게에 차를 타고 갑니다. (Gage-e cha-leul ta-go gabnida.) | “I ride to the store by car.”

직업에 버스를 타고 갑니다. (Jig-eob-e beoseu-leul ta-go gabnida.)| “I ride to work by bus.”

Okay so that’s it for today! I hope you all have a great week this week!

Reading and Listening in Korean Practice | iKON-ON: Bobby & Ju-Ne ‘깊은 밤’ MAKING FILM

Okay so I was just scrolling through YouTube today when I ran across this video. Normally, I kinda just watch them and then move on to find some more new music but I noticed something about this video that I really wanted to share with you guys.

Maybe you’ve been searching for ways to practice reading in Korean or even working on your listening but the things you’ve been finding aren’t all that interesting or maybe they’re not something you would use in everyday speech. Well, this is a video I thought would be helpful.

Sometimes I find makeup tutorials like this and share them when I find them because for the beauty gurus that follow me but also want to practice Korean, it’s super helpful! And this is no different, especially if you’re a fan of iKON.

The video is completely in Korean but it has built-in subtitles, that are in Korean to help you follow along if you’re working on listening and/or reading. To help you out some for words you may not understand, just click the CC button for English translation. This video is also subtitled in Japanese so you can switch to that translation as well.

Challenge:

Try to watch it first without the subtitles and then go back again with the CC on and see how much you understood!

New Music Update! | [Videos]

I haven’t done one of these in a while and since I spent a good portion of the afternoon just listening to a lot of music and watching music videos, I decided to share some of my favorite new music so far!
