                                                                       갓 태어난 아기, 신생아
Her baby was adorable.

I also remember people posting pictures of their pets.

They catch a musing moments on camera and share with other people.

I also remember people posting pictures of food what they having.

Korean are very fond of posing pictures of food  at restaurant.
          좋아하다 (~ing)

Next I see a lot of funny video clips on Facebook  these days.

I remember seeing a video of Two Filipino divers making a terrible mistake at competition recently.

The clip was hilarious and it went viral
       빵 터지다. 아주 웃기다     입소문이 나다, 계속 퍼져나가다
 (it made me crack up; 빵 터지다)

I reposted it on my page because it was so funny.

9.3 Talk about how coffee shops  have changed in Korea

Coffee shop have changed a lot over the years.

There are not simply places or people have drinks anymore.

First, most of coffee shops these days sell snacks such as bagels, sandwiches or cake.

Many places sell various flavors ice cream or Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings called 빙수

Many people go to coffee places to grab a  bite or to get refreshments like these.
                                            간단히 요기하다      간식 먹다
Plus, Many students study for tests, have study group sessions or engage in team projects at coffee places.

Since some coffee shops are open 24-7, There are great spots to study at.
                                           연중무휴
Some people have  work-related meetings or even blind dates there as well.
                            업무상
Of course many people just drop by at coffee shops to get coffee to go.
                                     들리다                                         테이크아웃
Overall, coffee shops have become a multi purpose venue for various activities.
                                                     다목적공간

*Let's just kill some time at coffee shop : 카페가서 시간 좀 때우자.

9. 2. Talk about Signing up for classes in College
                        수강신청하다

                              필수과목            전공                선택과목
There are certain amount of credits they have to take to graduate.
                                      학점

                 결국 ~ 하게 되다
Others concentrate their classes on certain days of the week.
                                             특정요일
College junior and senior have many classes directly relate to their major

Students who have double majors have to take more classes.
                             복수전공

Once classes began students get the syllabuses from the professors and then attend the class.                                          강의록                                             출석하다
     
*how many credits are you taking?

9. 1 Talk about When school semester start and end 

Schools have two semesters in Korea.

The new school year starts in March.
            새학년
It's the same for all schools.

Elementary, Middle and high schools all start their new semesters in March.

College students also start their new school year in the same month.

The spring semester lasts until mid July for grade school and late June for college.
                    지속하다        중순    보통초등학교(1~12학년)지만, 고등학교까지도 포함
(I can't wait to start my semester.)

The summer breaks starts in July and ends at the end of August.
 여름방학 (vacation 은 좀 올드패션임)
(I had meaningful summer breaks last year.)

Winter and summer breaks are petty much the same length.
                                                     길이가 비슷하다
The fall semester starts in September at all schools

It's called the second semester in Korea

It lasts until December for college,  and January for grade school.




8. 31. what can you remember studying

I remember studying most of time back in high school.
                               대부분           옛날에/예전에
I had a lot of subjects to study for the college entrance exam.

My senior year of high school was specially tough,
3학년                                                힘들었다
because There are so much ground to cover.                                                                                              범위, 해야할게 많았다.
I used to go to cram schools  after class until  late at night. 
                      학원 : 운전면허학원 driving school

I took the Korean SAT but  my score wasn't as high as I wanted to be.

My overall GPA wasn't that bad, I fail to get into school I wanted.
             평점, 내신정석, grade point average

So I took another year to study for college. 재수하다

I attended a cram school for students who wanted to raise their score.
출석하다, 다니다
Eventually I got into the school I wanted

and I think that the extra year was worth the investment.
                                      투자할 가치가 있었다.

*EPD
I had hard time in high school. 고등학교때 힘들었어.
All I remember is studying day and night  기억나는 거라곤 밤낮으로 공부한 거 뿐이야. 

내가 좋아하는 영어구문들 (입력중)

(These are from the book named <성문구문100>)

Every man is his own best critic. Whatever the learned say about a book, however unanimous they are in their praise of it, unless it interests you it is no business of yours.
모든 사람이 각자 가장 뛰어난 비평가이다. 지식인들이 책에 대해 무엇이라 말하든, 만장일치로 그들이 그것을 칭찬하든, 당신이 그것에 흥미가 없다면, 그건 당신과 상관없는 일이다.

No matter where you go, no matter who your ancestors where, what school or college you have attended, or who helps , your best opportunity is in yourself.
당신이 어디를 가건, 조상이 누구이건, 어디에서 어느 학교를 나오고, 어느 대학을 다녔건, 누가 당신을 도왔건 그런건 상관없다. 최고의 기회는 당신 자신 안에 있으니까.

One has to be especially wary of the ideas which seem the most self-evident and the most obvious. We have heard them accepted as truism from our childhood. Yet it is exactly these ideas which must be first put upon the scales to be most carefully weighed. (53-4)
가장 자명해보이고 명확해보이는 생각들을 특별히 경계해야 한다. 우리가 어린 시절부터 들어온 것들을 사실이라고 받아들였다. 그러나 정확히 이런 생각들이 가장 먼저 저울에 올려져 가장 신중하게 재어보아야 할 것들이다.

26-1


He who would search for pearls, must dive deep. (80p)
진주를 찾고자 하는 사람은 깊이 잠수해야 한다.

If you would make the most of yourself, you must have courage. If you are afraid to speak before others, you must persist in doing so until you are no longer afraid. Doing a thing which you are afraid to do often helps you to overcome fear. (31-4)
당신이 자신을 최대한으로 활용하고 싶다면, 용기를 가져야만 한다. 당신이 다른 사람들 앞에서 말하는 것을 두려워한다면, 더이상 두렵지 않을때까지 끈질기게 계속 해야만 한다.  당신이 두려워하는 것을 하는 것이 자주 두려움을 극복할 수 있게 한다.

Asked to give a radio talk on safe driving, an American taxi-driver, who had driven a million miles without an accident, announced: "It's simple-just drive on the theory every other fellow in the world is crazy."
어느 라디오 토크쇼에서 백만 마일을 사고없이 운전해온 한 미국 택시 운전수가 안전운전에 관해 말해달라고 요청받았다. 그가 말하길, "그건 간단해요. 세상에서 나를 제외한 모든 운전자들이 미쳤다고 가정하고 운전하면 됩니다."

In my youth, when my instinctive feeling about a book differed from that of authoritative critics I did not hesitate to conclude that I was wrong. It was long before I realized that the only thing that mattered to me in a work of art was what I thought about it. (61-3)
어린 시절, 책에 대한 내 직감이 권위있는 비평가들과 다르면 주저없이 내가 틀렸다고 결론내렸다. 머지않아 나는 예술작품에서 내게  중요한 것은 단 하나는 내가 그것을 어떻게 생각하느냐라는 걸 깨달았다.

No matter what road is chosen the travelers who started from different valleys will all meet on the top of the mountain, provided they keep on ascending. No one must pride himself on having chosen the best route nor force his neighbor to follow him.  (77-3)
각각 다른 골짜기에서 시작한 여행자들이 어떤 길을 택했든 그들이 계속해서 오른다면 산 정상에서 모두 만날 것이다. 누구도 그가 선택한 길이 최고의 길이라고 뽐내거나 이웃에게 자신을 따르라고 강요해선 안된다.

It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner does not know of.  (84)
인간은 흙과 같다. 때로 금광이 있는 걸 그 주인은 모른다.

Some people think that they cannot spare time for exercise. They cannot be told too soon that they must find time for exercise, or they will have to find time for illness.
(94-1)
어떤 이들은 운동에 할애할 시간이 없다고 말한다. 운동할 시간을 찾지않으면, 앓아누울 시간을 가질 거라고, 아무리 빨리 말해줘도 빠르지 않다.


The great use of a school education is not so much to teach you things as to teach you the art of learning; so that you may apply that art in after life for yourselves, on any matter to which you choose to turn  your mind. (97-1)
학교 교육의 큰 용도는 당신에게 여러 사물을 가르치기보다는 배움의 기술을 가르쳐주는 것이다. 그래서 훗날 당신이 마음을 쏟기로 선택한 어떤 것에든 스스로 그를 적용할 수 있게끔 말이다.

Affirmation and resolution without prompt endeavor for realization are worse than useless. It is the man of action, of continued and repeated action, the man who never acknowledges defeat who ultimately wins out. (99-3)
실현하기 위해 신속한 노력을 하지 않고, 확신하고 결단만 내리는 것은 백해무익하다. 행동하는 사람, 지속적으로 반복하여 행동하는 사람, 패배를 인정하지 않는 사람이 결국 해낸다.

Little things that are mean, bad, contemptible, we should not trouble ourselves with, but of little things that are beautiful there are thousands all about us, and not to see them, not to love them, is decidedly a great misfortune. (99-4)
우리는 하찮고, 나쁘고 경멸할만한 사소한 것들로 우리 자신을 괴롭혀선 안된다. 그러나 우리 주변에는 아름다고도 작은 것들이 수없이 많다. 그것들을 보지 않고, 사랑하지 않는 것이 결정적으로 커다란 불행이다.

8. 27 Talk about  the Popularity of K-pop world wide.

Korea Pop music also known as K-pop is very popular around the world.
                            ~로 알려진                            세계적으로 (all around the world)
It is immensely popular especially in neighboring Asian countries.
      엄청나게                             이웃한, 주변
Many young boy and girl groups enjoy top celebrity status in many Asian countries.
                                              최고의 인기를 누린다 (스태어쓰)
it's easy to see groups doing Asian concert tours.
                                                콘서트 투어
Local airport go crazy when the stars arrive.
                난리가 난다
And many concerts get sold out even within several hours.
                              매진되다
Many song title of young groups are in English because of this trend.

A lot of K-pop fans are learning Korean, because they love K-pop.

This has led to more interest in Korean culture and products overall.

Souvenir related to K- pop sell like hot cakes.
                                       엄청 잘 팔린다
and there are even stores that specialized K-pop items.
                                             특화된
*K-pop is huge in Asia.
케이팝이 아시아에서 엄청 인기다.


8. 26 What do you like to eat when you watch movie?

Pop corn is my favorite snack at the movie theater.

At Korean Theaters they have flavored popcorn such as garlic, barbecue, cheese, onion.
                                       맛이 가미된
                  (tangerine favored chocolate: 감귤맛 초콜릿)

These days they even have flavored powder popcorn.

You just pour the powder in the popcorn, cover it with the lid, and shake it to mix with the popcorn.

It's great because you can choose whatever flavor you want.

Personally I just get the regular popcorn most of the time.
                                일반 팝콘 = plain popcorn
Plus they sell Hot Dogs, nacho chips and dried squid at the theater.
                                                      (반건조 오징어: half dried squid)
They also sell all sorts of beverages both hot and cold.
               온갖 종류의, 각종
I think soft drinks go best with snacks.
                     가장 잘 어울린다 (Seafood go best with white wine)

8.25  How often do you go to watch movies?

On average Korean goes to the theater roughly 4. 1 times a year.
한국인들은 평균적으로

I think I'm slightly above that average.
                       평균을 웃돈다 ( <-> below)
I think I go to watch movies at theaters once every two months on average.

I'd like to go more often, just don't have (the) time.
더 자주 가고 싶지만, 그럴 시간이 없다.

I normally watch movies that top the charts.
                                    상위권을 차지하다
I don't have particular genre I prefer
                  특정한
Meanwhile many movies are released on  VOD (video on demand) services earlier than in the past.                           출시되다
                           
So If I miss a movie at the theater, I can always catch it at home on TV
                                   watch도 되지만, '잡는다'는 의미로 이걸 씀
 (Let's go catch a movie today. 오늘 영화보러가자.)

Newly released movies cost as much as movie ticket.
   최신개봉작
But if the movies is really good, it it worth the money.

* It was a killer movie. ; 그 영화 끝내줬어.
I was a bit disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high. 내가 기대를 너무 많이 해서인가봐



8. 24 How much your movie tickets in Korea?

The price for movie ticket vary in Korea .
                                다양하다

There are somewhere between 10000 to 20000won per seat.
                  ~ 사이 어디쯤이다

There are also premium seats for couple.

Those seats are more comfortable and you get a better view of the screen.
                                                       더 잘보이다.
There are also Prestige class seats.
                      특급/최고급 좌석  
They cost 4 to 5 times more than regular seats.
                                               일반좌석

8. 21 Talk about Green house gases and global warming
                         온실가스
Green house gas emission have been a serious problem for the entire world.
온실가스 배출                                                              전 지구적으로

Green house gases trap heat in the earth's atmosphere.
                     열을 (못나가게) 막다   지구 대기권
This makes the planet warmer.

It's big contributor to global warming.
         컨츄리뷰러, 기여
There's been a surge in green house gas machines in the last few decades.
                    급증                                               지난 수십년동안
Most of it comes from power generation.
                                  전기발전
We burn fossil fuels like natural gas, oil and coal for electricity, heat and transportation.
              화석연료
Now there are system's in place for selling and buying the rights to emit green house gases.            ~ 가동중에 있다. 설치돼있다.                             온실배출권

In order to reduce the amount of green house gas machines, We need to develop alternative energy sources.
   대체
Planting more trees is also very important.


* We need to conserve energy.
                   보호하다


8. 20 Talk about Water Purifier you have at home
                    (필터가 있는) 정수기
Although tap water is quite clean, not many people drink straight from the tap.
            수돗물                                                                             수도꼭지

People either buy bottled water or have a simple water dispenser at home.
                     =bottle of water                          생수기
Water purifier's also  very common in Korea.

These machines are filtered water to make the water more drinkable.
                          걸러내다 (he has no filter: 그는 막말해)

They are just ordinary models that dispense hot and cold water.
                                             나오다 =release
There are also fancier models that make icy cubes.

These days  sparkling water is high in the demand in Korea.
                                        (<->low in the demand)

We see water purifier models that dispense carbonated water as well.

Because they are quite expensive, There are rental programs for water purifiers.


*They make the water drinkable.

The water is icy cold.
                 정말 차갑다


8. 19. Do you have a bidet at home?

I have bidet in my bathroom
        비데 ('비데이' 라고 읽는다)
Bidet has become a lot more common in the last ten years or so.
                                                         지난 10년 정도
Bidet commercials and ads are easy to come-by.
        TV광고            인쇄광고      쉽게 목격되다/눈에 띄다

You can buy one, but you can lend one as well.

There's also a membership you can sign up for.

If you have a membership, a person from the manufacturer comes to your home regularly  and changes its filter.

Using a bidet has its benefits.

I think It helps to be cleaner.

The toilet seat heats up /and you can set the water /that squirts out/ to be warmer /as well.                                                                      솟아나오다

It's great invention and I can't live without it now.
                                ~없인 못 산다


*The Toilet is clogged up : 변기가 막히다
 plunger : 하수구 뚫는 것. 뚜러뻥


8. 18. Talk about when you shave.

I shave every single day.
 면도하다    매일같이 (하루도 빼놓지 않고)
I have a razor in the bathroom
          면도기, 레이져
It's a pretty new razor that has multiple blades.
                                           다중칼날
It even vibrates when I press the button.
(Put your phone on vibrate: 폰을 진동으로 놓다)

It helps me get a cleaner shave.
                   더 깔끔하게 면도하다

I replace the blade to a new one every two to three weeks. (교체하다)
(become dull : 날이 무뎌지다. sharpen: 날을 갈다)

I make sure to use shaving cream when I shave.

Because it helps me get less skin irritation.
                                        피부자극 (피부가 화나다^^)
I also put on some after shave after I'm done.

The Alcohol in the after shave sanitize the skin
                                        소독하다
I have an electronic razor but I don't use it at home.

I use it when I go on trips.
                            일반적인 여행이라서 '복수'로 씀
Meanwhile my wife says she shaves her legs when she takes shower.

It's /a digital scale /that shows the weight/ in actual numbers.
                                                 (성격규정)  실제숫자, 실제수치

                                                          (~함에 있어서)  체중을 유지하다
I can find out /how much weight/ I gained /or lost.

Measuring my weight became a habit of mine when I was on the diet.
                                  습관이 되다
I used to check/ how much weight/ I lost everyday.

It used to motivate me /to eat less /and work out more.

I would recommend people/ to have a scale/ at their homes/ if they want to lose weight.
사람들에게~ 추천하겠다


*The scale isn't working properly. 체중계가 제대로 작동하지 않아.

It was pinkeye.
        아폴로 눈병, 유행성 결막염
My eyes got all red and I couldn't see very well.
                 온통 빨갛다
I went to see the eye doctor immediately.
                       안과의사      (optometrist 검안사)              
She said I  had conjunctivitis.
                           결막염 (컨정터바이리스)

I have a family history of high blood pressure.
          ~ 가족력이 있다. (유전적으로)

My blood pressure is somewhere close to 120 over 80.
                           대략 그 즈음이다         80에서 120사이, 영어는 높은 수부터 읽음
I'm trying to work out more and eat healthier and watch my weight.


*I have low blood pressure
*It runs in the family.: 가족 대대로 그렇다. 가족력이다. 가족들이 그렇다. (성향, 기질, 질병 등)
(We are all lay back. It runs in the family. : 우린 다 느긋해. 가족들이 다 그래. )





8.12 Talk about what you do to send money to someone

When I have to send money to someone or someplace, I always use mobile banking.

I don't use ATMs anymore to do that.

I first signed up for online banking at the bank.
        ~을 신청하다
(I signed up for classes for next semester.)

And then I installed the mobile banking app on my phone.

I also downloaded digital certificate onto my phone.
                             공인인증서 (certificate : 인증서, 자격증)

Plus I got what's called an OTP from the bank.
 '소위~라고 하는':  상대방이 모르는 뭔가를 소개하거나 설명할 때 씀

OTP stands for one time password.
      줄여서 한 말이다 = Short for

It's a small device that generates six digits password every minute.
                               생성하다  6자리
 (last two digit/ first two digit : 끝 두자리/ 첫 두자리
  He has six-digits income : 그는 억대 연봉자다)

There are more passwords to remember to do mobile banking these days due to 
                                                                                                  ~때문에
additional safety regulations.
                 보안규정
But the spite all that I think mobile banking  has really make wired transfer easier.

8.11 Talk about the gas station you often go to
                                  주유소

I go to a gas station near my house most often.

Unless I run out of gas in the middle of nowhere.
           떨어지다           어디있는지 모를때/ 주변에 아무것도 없을 때
(I feel like I'm in the middle of nowhere. 여기가 어딘지 모르겠어.)

The gas station I go to is a  self-serve station
                                          셀프 주유소
The gas is a bit cheaper than other places.
   (연료 통칭)
Plus there is an auto maded car wash, so I can get my car washed when I need to
                      자동               세차
Plus I can get a discount when I use credit card there.

Also they give me free gifts such as bottled water or tissue when I fill up the tank.
                                                     물병 (bottled beer: 병맥주)  (연료를 채우다)
The only problem with that gas station is not open 24 - 7.
                                                                 (24hours/ 7days; all the time. 연중무휴)
They close like 11ish, so I can't get gas if I go too late.
                 (11시쯤)


*I'm almost out of gas.
기름이 다 떨어져가네.
I'm going to fill up soon.
곧 연료를 채워야겠어.



8.10  How do you get around

I drive my own car on here and there. but the traffic gets really bad sometimes.
           내 차                                 교통상황이 정말 안좋다/ 도로 차가 많다
(The traffic wasn't that bad today.)

Monday mornings and Friday evenings are the worst.
 월요일 아침마다 (S:반복될때)                     최악이다

There is so much traffic on the roads.
    오늘 차 정말 많다.

(There's no traffic if you use the subway.)
      막히지 않다.

Parking is another problem.

It's so hard find the place to park.

It times, I just feel like leaving my car at home and using public transportation instead.
 ~생각이 든다. ~할걸 그랬다.

I take the subway or the bus depending on where I'm going.

In Seoul and the surrounding area the subway is very well organized.
 수도권                                          지하철이 잘 돼 있다. / 잘 정비돼있다.            

There are nine lines all together.
                             모두
You can practically go almost everywhere on the subway.
         거의, 사실상 (이거 하나만 잘 써줘도 좋다)

*It takes forever to get there. 거기 가는데 '너무' 오래 걸려. (강조할때 forever씀)
Tell me about it. : 맞아.
GPS: 네비게이션을 그냥 간단히 이렇게 말하면 됨.
I should have left car at home 차 집에 두고 올걸

8.7 What do you like eating when you eat out

I go to eat out quite often.
  (외식하다, eat in: 집에서 먹다, order in:시켜먹다)

On weekdays I sometimes have dinner outside and sometimes have dinner at home.
주중, 월~금

I think it's fifty fifty.
          (반반이야-굉장히 유용한 표현)

I like to go to Korean barbecue restaurants most often.
                                 구이

I like grilling the meat (on the grill) right in front of me.

They are tons of restaurants that serve seafood as well.
                                  (해산물을 팔다에서, sell 보다 serve라는 표현을 씀.)

I sometime go to Japanese places to have raw fish.
                                 (~집/점; 일식집)
They are also many places that specialized in certain type of stew. 
                               (전문화 되어 있다, 전문으로 하다)     (찌개)
I go there when I'm in the mood for something spicy.
                        (~할 느낌이다. 기분이다.)

Plus we see so many foreign restaurants these days.

Among them I like to go Italian pizza places, Vietnamese rice noodle places or Mexican taco places off and on.
                  (종종)


8.6 What do you usually have lunch

We have cafeteria in our company building.
         (구내식당, 카페 테어리어)
I normally eat lunch there.

It's the easiest way to get lunch, especially when it's cold and rainy outside.

The food is ok and price is reasonable.
  (음식도 괜찮고,   (가격이 적당하다)

They have set menu everyday.

We just pick up a tray and get your food.
                      (식판)
Of course There are tons of places to eat lunch nearby.

My colleagues and I go out to grab lunch time to time.

Because the cafeteria serves Korean food most of time.

We go out to eat when we feel like eating something not Korean.
                                                        (한식 말고 다른 거, something not salty/spicy)
After lunch typically we chi-chat over some coffee.
                             (잡담, 수다)  (커피를 마시면서)


*We use lunch vouchers.

Lunch vouchers 식권
Movie ticket voucher 영화 티켓 교환권



8.5 What kind of beverages do you like to drink

My favorite type of beverage is grape juice.
 (grapefruit : 자몽)
I just love the taste when I drink it.
 (정말 좋아하다)
It tastes the best when it has icy-cold from fridge.
                                       (얼음처럼 찬, very cold)
(My mom's 미역국 tastes the best)

I typically have a cup every morning.
 (보통)
I also like to drink soda.
                      (탄산음료: carbonate drink, soda pop, pop 등등)
(This soda is flat: 김빠졌다)

Especially When I'm eating fried foods or snacks like popcorn.

But as they say, Soft drink have a lot of sugar in them.
           (have something in them: ~가 많이 들어있다)

So I try not to  drink them too often.

When I'm working out, sports drinks are the best.

They help quench my thirst the fastest.
            (갈증을 해소하다)
 (It was not enough quench my thirst. 갈증을 해소하기에 부족해)

Last of all I like to drink sparkling water these days as well.

I like the kick it has when I drink it.
 (톡 쏘는 맛)
In fact carbonated water is all the rage in the Korea these days.
        (탄산수)                 (엄청 유행하다)

*I was shy when I was growing up: 어렸을 때 수줍음이 많았어.
