Anonymous asked:

Are you fluent in Korean?

You know this question is always hard to answer lmao but yeah, I’d say so. I can pay my bills, give directions, discuss politics and heart disease, drink with teachers and strangers, watch movies and whatnot. But I wouldn’t say I’m very proficient or super accurate in Korean. I still have to learn a lot of vocab but I’m at the speaking and reading ability where I can learn just by listening or through Korean explanation rather than needed a translation.

I think it’s okay to feel lost in your life. I think it’s okay not to reach that final goal (in your life). You may earn things while being lost or could make something out of it through the emotions you feel. I think it should be your judgementm you don’t have to make someone else judge the satisfaction of your life. I hope that you don’t feel too anxious about beeling lost in your life”. (cr. thatcoolcatmeow)

You did well,  you worked hard. Rest in peace Jonghyun, we will love you for the entire of our lives.

“A few years ago, I was crying and whining at my mom and sister while I was really drunk. I asked my mom and sister… it wasn’t long after we’d moved. I asked them if they were happy. I got drunk and woke up my entire sleeping family, like some ahjussi. It had been my number one goal in life, you know, to make my mom and sister happy. They both woke up and told me they were happy. But I was so envious at the fact that they were able to reply that they were, indeed, happy. Because it wasn’t like that for me. I told them while sobbing: I want to be happy too. Then I felt like I’d done my mom and sister wrong. But from then on, I started contemplating about happiness. For about six months, I pondered specifically over what I would need to do to become happy. I think that time of transformation has come. I think I need to be happy, now. I must become happy. I am going to be happy.” 

Rest in Peace. You will be missed, our dear Jonghyun. Life may have been cruel now, but I hope you find another life where you’ll achieve your happiness. Sing on in heaven, and watch over the boys and shawols you left behind. We aren’t angry, we aren’t going to curse you, you won’t be remembered for how you died but for how you lived. You touched millions of hearts and graced a gift upon this world that can never be replaced. You’ll live on in our hearts and within the happiest memories we shared these last ten years. Go In peace, this is our final goodbye.Let’s meet again.

The bravest woman on Earth.

I love her. Forever reblog.

I have the utmost respect for this woman. 

please reblog. reblog the way you would reblog a picture of a hot singer, a pretty girl, a tasty meal or some nice stationary. Because this will not make your blog ‘less aesthetic’ or anything. This is important, far more important than anything I’ve mentioned before.

As y’all already know, I’ve made the move to Korea and I’ve started to vlog about it. This video isn’t too interesting but I’ve got some really great Korean language content coming your way soooo please like and subscribe.

Hint: There may or may not be a Korean language course in the works based off of what language is actually commonly used in everyday life in Korea.  If you have a second please reblog this, it’d mean a lot to me <3 <3

Frankly very disappointed in Duolingo Korean thus far. The placement test I took had 4 mistakes that were obvious to even me (my korean isn't that good) and it can't pick a mode of formality to save it's life. It might be good for picking up vocab but take the grammar with a hefty grain of salt. I know that it’s beta and flaws are intended to be fixed, but I’m thus far unimpressed with this long awaited course. 

I haven’t done many lessons, I tested in around their half way point of the initial pretest, then proceeded to test out of another 10 skills (likely to test out of a few more along the way thanks to the weird order of things). The only actual lessons I’ve gone through are on the higher end, using noun-modifying forms with really irksome translations. My Korean is right but the rewriting it in English that’s giving me trouble. I found a few mistakes in the gerund lessons, etc. Over all, 5/10 :( Though its okay for the simple grammar and vocabulary acquisition, please please please supplement with other material and cross check

HELP MY FRIEND GET HER DOG BACK

My friend, Paulina, lost her dog this year and had posted on twitter asking people in her area to help.

Her tweet got retweeted enough for her to get a message from some guy named Alex who claims he actually has her dog.

He has since blocked Paulina and is saying he won’t give the dog back. He has even posted pictures with the dog and is acting like this is all a big joke.

Paulina is absolutely devastated. The police say they can’t help even though she has pictures of him with her dog and she has proof that she’s owned the dog for years.

TUMBLR HELP HER FIND THIS MAN SO SHE CAN GET HER DOG, MONSE, BACK!!!!!!!!

HIS TWITTER HANDLE IS RAUL_BRUJA
