İrem Çıray'la Alsancak'ta Buluştuk ㅅ.ㅅ

Merhabalar!! Ben geldim, kıpır kıpır neşe dolu bir halde hemde ㅅ.ㅅ

Başlıktan anladığınız üzere, İrem Çıray’la ve Daeson’la buluştuk. Ve tabiiki onlarca dostla da kucaklaştık! :)

Güzel bir anıya daha hoşgeldin diyerek, musmutlu bir buluşma gerçekleştirdik. En başından anlatacak olursam,

Bildiğiniz gibi İrem abla instagram’da buluşma yeri ve zamanı için fikrimizi sormuştu. Ve çoğunluk Alsancak olsun istediği için Alsancak’ta karar kılındı. Saat 14.00’da buluşmak üzere :)

Peki ben? Sanırım vardığımda saat 15.30 civarıydı.

Yanlışlıktan ötürü ve benim internetimin olmadığı sebebiyle doğru yeri öğrenemediğim için Alsancak Limanından pasaporta kadar hatta daha ilerisine kadar yürüyerek Kahve Deryası’nı aradım. Yanından geçtiğim Kahve Diyarı’na mahzun bir bakış atarak yoluma devam etmiştim.

 Geçerken aklıma gelmişti birinin yazdığı yorumu; Kahve Diyarı olabilir mi orası diye. Ben garanti olsun istedim ve biraz gezmiş oldum hahah İzmirnet’e bağlanarak İrem ablanın snapini görünce gerisin geri yürüdüm.

Bu bir dramdır ki Wifi’yi açıp Kahve Deryası’nı aramıştım izmirnetten önce ehuehuhe

Çok yoruldum, ayaklarım çok ağrıdı.Peki bunları neden anlatıyorum? Çünkü bütün yorgunluğuma değdi arkadaşlar. Sonunda kapıdan girdim ve girdiğim o anda heyecandan yorgunluğumu unutmuştum, oturacak bir yer arama telaşına düşmüştüm. Kalabalıktık hani az da değildik yahu çok güzel bir ortamdı ㅅ.ㅅ

Beni en mutlu eden ise arkada kalmamdan ötürü rahatsızlık duyan İrem ablanın beni daha yakınına çağırmasıydı. Böyle de düşünceli birisi işte. Üzmeyin onu :)

Neler konuştuk neler yaptık? Başta belirttiğim gibi geç vardığımdan çoğu soruyu ve cevabını kaçırmıştım. Yine de İrem abla her ‘’’başka sorunuz var mı’’dediğinde sordum sorularımı ve tatmin edici yanıtlar aldım. Öğrenci değişimi ve yüksek lisans ile ilgili sorularımı sordum. Yaşım 20 olduğu için benim açımdan en önemli sorulardı. Seneye belgeleri toplamaya başlayacaktım çünkü başvuru için.

Eğitim dışında konuşulan konulardan hatırladıklarım, Kore kozmetiği, yemekleri, Kore seyahati ve alışverişi için ayrılması gereken yaklaşık bütçe, Koreli arkadaşlar vs vs.

Her sorumuzun cevabını aldığımız hoş bir sohbet oldu :) Ve en sonunda da fotoğraf çekildik. En eğlenceli kısımdı sanırım.

Fotoğraf çekilirken tanıştığımız kızlarla birbirimizi Kakaotalk’ta ekledik, yeni dostluklara adım attık çok da güzel oldu. ㅅ.ㅅ

İrem Abla’da Daeson’da en sevimli halleriyle fotoğraflarımızda ve zihinlerimizde yer edindi tekrardan çok teşekkür ederiz :)

Eve döndüğümde arkadaşımın bana attığı fotoğrafı görünce çok şaşırdım. Nurefşan burada adı yazan sen misin?? demişti, meğersem İrem abla kendisi için hazırladığım kartpostalları insta snape atmış nasıl mutlu oldum :) :)

 

Bizimle tek tek ilgilenen sorularımızı yanıtlayan ve bizim için buluşma ayarlayan İrem ablaya çok teşekkür ederiz, inşaallah en yakın zamanda tekrardan bir araya gelmek nasip olur. Şimdilik hoşçakalın bir sonraki postta görüşmek üzere!! ㅅ.ㅅ

(kakao grubumuz için instadan dm atabilirsiniz.)

How Do I Study Korean? -study myself

Hi everyone!

I hope this post can help you all :)

Subject which I wanna mention is how we can study Korean without going course.

Learning a language is not easy as we know. 

If language that you are learning is your 3^rd, 4^th language,

 It may be easy to learn a new language 

because you may have some methods to study.

But if it is not your 3^rd, 4^th language? I mean it may be your 2^nd foreign language and 

you may not have any methods to study well.

As you know, almost everyone’s second language is English. We call it 1^st foreign language.

 So, Are you ready to make Korean our 2^nd foreign language?

Yes, WE ARE!!

If we decided to do that, lets start to somewhere. 

We should take the first step.

 1) First thing we should learn Korean alphabet.

We are faced with a different alphabet that includes E, O etc more than one. 

Firstly, we should understand all characters. 

Why are some characters more than one? Because their pronunciations are different.

 If you notice that, you can understand; 

when Korean people speak, they pronounce some characters with different ways.

When we put some characters one after the other,

 some of them may not be read or some of them may change to another character.

Don’t tighten up yourself. It is solved in time. 

But if you really want to learn, you can learn in a day, believe me! 

And then you can read Korean writings easily :)

Okay. I learned alphabet. But I haven’t memorized any words, 

and I wanna speed up read. What's gonna happen now? What should I do?

You take a pen and start to write something in Hangul.

It means in your own language but you use Korean alphabet.

 Even while you are listening music, talking with friends, waiting in an idle class,

 You can write whatever you want. It may be a song lyrics, or your thoughts etc etc.

허자 겔메디  스클듬 ( hoca gelmedi sıkıldım.)

 It means Teacher has not came and I get bored( in my own language Turkish)

You may find it funny but, It works!

 You can start to write fastly, even if it is not in Korean, 

you can start to write and read fastly.

After that you can study well to memorize.

In that time you can try to learn some words and 

you can try to keep in mind while writing.

You can write when you are in free time.

Good morning, hello, goodbye, how are you, okay, no problem, are you sure etc 

You can try to write basic Korean words and sentence which you hear from K-dramas.

Okay, you took control of alphabet. And now, what should you do?

I laid the foundations of my Korean with a Turkish- Korean blog. It helped me so much.

 Especially I studied time expressions on this website: www.hallimecekorece.com

You know Korean is an inflected language according to time. So, firstly I learned how to use them.

If you know it, you can study well other grammar rules too.

2) Colors, numbers, important sentences and words, days, months etc. 

Shortly, When you studied for your 1^st foreign language, what did you learn first? You can study them, they are basic grammar subjects I mean.

And before studying, be sure your source is correct or not.

If you think that your english is enough to study Korean in English,

You can use this website

www.howtostudykorean.com

On this website, there are 6 parts according to levels.

Each part is continuation of previous part.

You can listen how these sentences are read, and you can take a look all words on the top of page.

Sentences are related to given words.

Believe me, after this website, I started to talk better with my Korean friends.

Even there is a friend who calls me 한국 사람(Korean) :)

3) While you are studying, you can keep in touch with Korean friends. 

They may help you to improve yourself.

You can learn Korean Slangs with this way. You know there are many slangs in Korean. 

Generally we see them in K-dramas but we may not find their explanation on internet.

So, make friends!

And don't only text

4) you can record voice and video for improving your Korean

You can study before recording video what you will speak. It helps to speed up your speaking.

5)You can take notes of grammar rules on small notebooks and you can carry them easily wherever you go.

6)If you don’t repeat and reread, you may forget all you learned. So, you should be in a struggle for improving yourself.

Dont watch K-dramas for nothing. Try to learn something from them.

You can learn slangs, daily words etc thanks to K-dramas.

Imagine that when you say 콜!! , there is a friend who is shocked! Haha

My friend was shocked and asked me where did you learn it ?

And I said, Kill me Heal me.

This drama taught me some words as 콜 , and I use them in daily life.

It is the best sample that I can give you.

7) You can buy cute notebooks and stuff to study and have fun while studying.

Because they are desirable for studying.

8) You can draw your writing with highlighter.

When you are in free time, 

You can find the most important parts of rules and study well.

That’s all for now. I hope I could help you.

I mentioned about my experiences. 

If you have others, you can share with us on comment.

Have a nice day friends^^

You can do it, We can do it 

Fighting!! :)

INCOMING MAIL FROM SOUTH KOREA- GIFTS- TRADITIONAL GIFTS

Hello!

 I am so happy for sharing a new post with you all! I submitted my final project, so new posts are coming! yay!!

Today I will introduce my korean gifts which came from my Korean friend Seowon. Firsty, I wanna say something about it.

Our friendship's been  almost 3 years. I really love her, she is my first korean friend. My first korean friendship experience and first penfriend as well. Shortly, she has a special place.

Nevertheless, I was feeling sad time to time while I was thinking that our bond of friendship may drift away. I wonder that after 1-2 years will we go on to speak like now? I thought about that sometimes.

Why Im telling all things to you, because I lived a bad event and I wanna share it with you.

2 months ago I changed my mobile phone number and I had to take a new KaTalk ID. Thefore, I wanted ID’s of my all friends and wrote them on a paper.

When I opened a new account I added my friends one by one but.. I couldnt find Seowon. When I searched her ID, there was no one, I felt so sad.

 I searched her time to time. I was thinking that she may have closed her ID for searching. Unfortunatelly I got no result. I found a way and I sent an email.

 When we met first, we chatted on email. I sent an email to that address but I got no result again. Finally I decided to send a letter.

 I explained all event and I said that I couldnt find you. At this time I had been searching on KaTalk.

Then one day,A mail came to home from Seowon. Huge packet.. 

When I least expect it. When I thought that our bond of friendship really drifted away.

I opened that and I was shocked because she prepared many gifts. Last year I sent a mail and this year she sent me .After I got it, I wanted to search again her ID. If I can not, I decided to wait she takes my mail. But. Omg. Really? I found!! How?! Rally I dont know but I really found her. I tried many times it worked. I felt complicated. It sounds strange doesnt it?

Immediately I sent a message and we started to talk again. I explained all events we noticed that both of us felt sorry because contact lost.

Our bond of friendship is very strong, I noticed that time.

Within 1-2 weeks, she got my mail and expressed her regrets. I really made an effort to reach her :(

God willing! It is going on well now! We understood importance of our interdependence. ㅅ.ㅅ

I got her new mail address, now I feel relax cuz If I lost her again, I can find her easily ehueheu

It was such a memory,I shared it because I wanna share my happiness with you :)
