I am accustomed to both English and Korean languages and cultures, and I greatly appreciate and love both of them. I currently work as a freelance interpreter and translator for the public school system and have helped many Korean families with limited English proficiency. I have experience teaching Korean, English, and music to people from diverse cultures and backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>I am passionate about learning different languages, and I have studied English, Japanese, and Spanish. Besides improving my language skills, I love to sing, play the piano, travel, and read books.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am very excited to have this opportunity to write on Korean language and culture. When I taught Korean classes to American students, I was overwhelmed by my students\u2019 interest and enthusiasm. I was on cloud nine with excitement to share my experience and knowledge in language learning and cultural aspects.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to learning a new language, I have been in your shoes; therefore, <strong>we already have something in common<\/strong>. As English connected me to the American people and culture here, I hope my contribution to this blog will help you to connect with your Korean friends, co-workers, and family members. I also hope this blog will help you to broaden your perspective on the Korean culture and make your Korean learning more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>As you are aware, obtaining proficiency in a foreign language takes patience and commitment. <strong>So~ I would like to tell you, <\/strong><strong><em>\u201c<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\ud798\ub0b4\uc138\uc694<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>!<\/em><\/strong><strong> (Cheer up!)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ub450\uadfc\ub450\uadfc \ud55c\uad6d\uc5b4 7\ud68c (Pit-A-Pat Korean1 #7)- \ud480 \ud558\uc6b0\uc2a4( &#039;Full House&#039; ) \/ comfort and encouragement\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pl_zW2Muz4g?list=PLInPGbDZkjSSpvXBH5HWkSNMOJfn34g1y\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><strong>\u2665 What is your favorite Korean word?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Why don\u2019t you introduce yourself to me and tell me about your favorite Korean word?<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to hearing about it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\"><strong>\u25ca\u00a0Introducing yourself in Korean<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\"><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 <strong>\u00b7<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0\uc548\ub155\ud558\uc138\uc694,\u00a0<\/em><em>\uc800\ub294\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><em>\u00a0____________<\/em><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><em>\uc608\uc694<\/em><em>\/\uc774\uc5d0\uc694.<\/em><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0(Hello, I am ____________.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><em>*\uc800\ub294 \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><u>When your name ends in a vowel<\/u><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><em>\uc608\uc694<\/em> <em>ending<\/em><\/span><em> :<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Ex)<\/em> <em>\uc800\ub294\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><em><u>\uacbd\ud654<\/u><\/em><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><em>\uc608\uc694<\/em><\/span><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">.\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/em>(I am Kyung-Hwa.)<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><em>*<\/em><em>\uc800\ub294\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><u>When your name ends in a consonant<\/u><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><em>\uc774\uc5d0\uc694.<\/em> <em>ending <\/em><\/span><em>: <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><em>Ex)<\/em> <em>\uc800\ub294\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><em><u>\uc2a4\ud2f0\ube10<\/u><\/em><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><em>\uc774\uc5d0\uc694<\/em><\/span><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">.<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em>(I am Stephen.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em><strong>\u25ca\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>Click \u00a0<span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/1.-What-is-your-favorite-Korean-word_-10_11_16-3.30-PM.m4a\">HERE<\/a><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<strong>for pronunciation.\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><em><strong>\ud55c\uad6d\uc5b4\u00a0<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3895\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/Korean-Flag.png\" alt=\"korean-flag\" width=\"28\" height=\"19\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><strong>English \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3896\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/korean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2016\/10\/American-Flag.png\" alt=\"american-flag\" width=\"22\" height=\"15\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a01.<\/em> <em>\u00a0 \uc548\ub155<\/em><em>\ud558\uc138\uc694<\/em><em>?
