Yes friends, let's remember: there ain't no mountain high enough that can keep me from studying my Korean grammar. Unless, I fall asleep reading the language books. But I keep this blog do in between to keep my mind refreshed. But you may wonder, how does one learn a foreign language? Here's how i do it:
Korean consists of Hangul (Korean writing), a collection of radicals which combine to form different sounds. I learned this by memorization and practice. No mystery there.
But all the words I learned by calling my friend named Johny Mnemonic (did anyone see/like that movie?) who helps save the day. For example, there is the word Nampyion in korean which means "husband". I remember this by thinking " ...the guy she's married to is the Champion from Nam"= Napyion. There you go. How about this one: we lope da = "lonlely" in korean. Well i think about eloping. and eloping can be lonely. There we go, it sticks! Here's a little tidbit inside my dirty mind, ojone pronounced /OJOAN/ means "am" in Korean. Maybe I end up in bed with a girl named Joan in the morning. What's the first thing I say? " Oh , Joan!" . of course. Now you try!
