Here’s my fake business card (명함) to help with the exercise in the lesson I’m taking:
제이름은 미아우브라운입니다. Myname is meowbrown. 제 직업은 블로거입니다. My job is a blogger. 사무실전화번호는 02-1824-7195입니다. (pronunciation: 공이에 일파리사에 치릴구오임니다. Officephone number is… 핸드폰번호는 010-3379-9154입니다. (pronunciation: 공일공에 삼삼칠구에 구이로사입니다. Mobilenumber is… 이메일은 hello@meowbrown.com입니다. (@ 골뱅이, . 점 pronounced as 쩜) Email is… 주소는 서울시 종로구 광화문로 142입니다. Address is…
Question: Do Koreans really carry over the sound for phone numbers when they speak? I’m wondering whether the teacher is trying to make us practice the carry over pronunciation or is this normal in Korea 🤔 The reason I can’t ask the teacher is because it’s an online course, that’s a difference between having a 1:1 session.
it’s been a while—a bit more than six months!—since i first made an intro post for this blog, and since then, i’ve gained a lot of followers, and my focuses have shifted slightly, so i wanted to make a langblr reintro post to reflect that.
you can call me jiayi (家宜). 2023-2024 is my third year in post-secondary education overall, and my first year working on my bachelor’s degree.
originally, i was an intended combination STEM-humanities major, but due to a variety of reasons, i am now exclusively focusing on humanities. my majors are chinese, middle eastern languages and cultures, and linguistics. i’m also passionate about translation and sexuality studies and asian languages in general, especially turkic and sinitic languages.
i am west asian and speak english, chinese, and turkish as my mother tongues, and i am more or less functionally conversational in german, at around a B1 level. my current language focuses for independent study are kazakh and korean, but i’m also interested in mongolian, vietnamese, shanghainese, and kurmanci.
for my study tools, you can find an ask i answered here that extensively details what programmes, apps, and sites i use to study (slightly out of date currently, but not wildly so). besides that, you can find my collection of resource posts generally under the tag #resources, my chinese-specific posts under #汉语, and answered asks under #inbox.
i’m always open to asks and dms! i want to use this account as a resource for other people with interest in learning languages, and i’d love to make friends 🙂
I’ve been here since 2014 but well, I never got around to actually introducing myself, I guess? Here I go.
My name is Helen (They/Them).
24 year old Queer INFP Capricorn in Myanmar.
What am I learning? Well, a lot of things but mostly languages, literature, and psychology.
I am a native Burmese speaker but I also speak other languages! English (C2), Korean (TOPIK 6) Mandarin Chinese (HSK5) and Japanese (JLPT N3) respectively. I try to keep my certifications up to date but covid made it really difficult.
I’m working towards a Diploma in Pali.
I am also learning Spanish, Russian, Latin, ASL etc and absolutely getting my ass kicked by them.
I’m a freelance translator, writer, tarot reader, astrologist, language study guide, language instructor and a booksellerby trade!
I don’t do all of those at once. I just sort of… rotate them if that makes sense. 2 at a time, 3 at a time etc.
I am very hardworking but I also have neck arthritis (Cervical Spondylosis), ADHD and Social Anxiety so it’s a struggle.
I also have tons of hobbies. I like reading books, writing reviews, journaling and writing fan fictions etc so I’m all over the place.
I have a lot of stray cats that I’ve adopted so you’ll get to see them obstructing my studies as well!
My life’s not very glamorous. I’m in Myanmar. With the wars going on, there ain’t a lot to glamorize either. But I’m trying my best to hang on and also help others hang on. So you’ll see me talking about free consultations and free lectures and humanitarian aid stuff etc.
I run a weekly book club called “HAIYUU” with my friend! HAIYUU stands for 俳友 which is Haiku friends and it’s so fun!
I also run a paid telegram channel for tarot/oracle readings with my Haiyuu co-host as well as other friends
I’m taking it one day at a time.
That’s pretty much all of it! I hope y’all have a fun time looking at my posts.
I seem to be gaining new followers so I thought it’s about time I did a self introduction.
I’m Yan and welcome to my langblr ^^ I mostly focus on Japanese and Korean right now but I hope to one day dabble in other languages I’m interested in. I was a longtime lurker when I was more active but because I want to keep up with my target languages and language learning in general, I decided to get back on Tumblr. If anyone has suggestions on what kind of posts I should make, feel free to share them!
JP/KR Short Intro
안녕하세요. 저는 연이라고 하고 99년생입니다. 한국어를 독학하고 있어서 이 브로그를 하게 됐습니다. 잘 부탁드립니당!
If I want to read 66 as six six, it is pronounced like: 융뉵
If I want to read 66 as six six but not in the beginning, for example 2966, it is pronounced like: 이구륭뉵
Phone numbers, the – is pronounced as 에
Bus numbers: for example 17 is 십질 (17) 번 (#) 버스 (bus)
Fun fact about the bus numbers in Taiwan, for 2 digit numbers we read it like seventeen (17), but if it’s three digit it becomes two zero six (206) not two hundred and six.
This is a Korean language learning blog where you can explore various words, phrases, and grammar patterns that you’ll come across during your studies or when listening to K-pop. You can also find some tips and tools that will (hopefully) make your studies a bit easier.
Feel free to request vocabulary sets based on your favourite K-pop songs or ask any questions you might have.
I hope this blog helps you out. Happy studying! 👋🏾
