Hwajin Na can get it... I mean... Look at him.

If you haven't read it, read it here and fangirl about it with me.

English people just don’t understand. They haven’t been in the trenches. They haven’t been a socially awkward eleven year old not knowing whether they should address their musical theatre teacher with the formal you or whether that would be weirder than informal. They haven’t meticulously crafted their sentences to avoid using the second person at all costs.

Now Korean people, they know. They’ve been in the trenches. They’ve been in worse trenches. They’ve got a million levels of formality and they can’t even say one sentence without having to make the call on which to use, because they’re attached to every main verb. They are the only motherfuckers on this globe I respect.

#im sure other languages do that as well #but I only know Korean sorry #educate me tho I always love to hear about languages #language learning #langblr #language #korean #koreanblr #studyblr

The Red Palace June Hur

How about plunging into 18th century Joseon, that beautiful ancient era. Stroll the streets of the capital city, exploring the many goods in the market, walk through the forest, climb mountains and of course, visit the imperial palace. The Red Palace entices you with its incredible beauty. But be warned, the palace also holds many secrets. And one of these secrets will have to solve the main character.Inside the palace, it's usually quiet. The courtiers and servants are doing their masters' errands, the ministers and the king are solving state affairs, the concubines are peacefully strolling through the imperial garden, enjoying its picturesque beauty. The young girl Hyun, thanks to her hard work, gets a position as a palace nurse. However, one night changes the former calmness of the palace. Someone brutally murders four female nurses. And Hyun's close friend and mentor becomes the prime suspect in this serious crime. Not believing that the mentor could do such a terrible thing, the heroine decides to investigate the murder herself in order to find the true culprit. In this she is assisted by police inspector Ojin, who is also looking for the culprit. Despite the initial distrust and disagreements, they begin to work together. All for the sake of solving this bloody crime.The Red Palace is not only a fascinating story, but also a colourful description. Ms Hör has tried to recreate a realistic picture of life in Joseon, describing its atmosphere, culture, and the little things that help us to understand the country's peculiarities. This allows us, the readers, to immerse ourselves in the story and become a real witness to all the events that took place. The author's vision of the period makes the book particularly attractive.I also liked the main characters. It's impossible not to fall in love with them! Young Hyun impresses me with her strength, tenacity and determination. The way she fights against social prejudice and strives for success is inspiring. The way to achieve her goals is not easy, but the heroine does not intend to give up, she will get justice.And in this she will help Inspector Seo. I have to admit, this man won my heart. Ojin is a very calm, but no less determined, young man. He, like the heroine, wants to know the truth. I also liked the fact that he doesn't overshadow Hyun, but acts as an intellectual partner. The characters became a perfectly coordinated team.Well, The Red Palace is a truly fascinating historical novel. The atmosphere, characters and plot pierce to the heart, leaving a lasting impression. I recommend this book to anyone looking for thrilling adventure, intricate mysteries and colourful descriptions of events.

Hiii everyone!

As some of you may know, I got the opportunity to come to Seoul to study Korean earlier this year. I finished Level 1, and I LOVE the Korean language and culture. I'm now hoping to study two more terms (Level 2 and 3) to help me with getting my dream job, as it requires Korean skills.

If you're in a situation that allows you to donate even a small amount, I'll be forever grateful. And if you can't, I'd be extremely happy if you could share this post :)

Thank you and much love to you all <3

dudeee i’m gonna be feeling like tina when filipino ccs join. i talk about it often and am super excited for when it’ll happen but i already know i’ll be embarrassed when everyone will want to know more about the language & the culture and i’ll know barely anything despite being filipino myself😭

#i’ve been trying to learn more especially recently!! i’m supposed to be going to the philippines to see my family sometime in the future so #i really want to educate myself more. and actually learn tagalog LMAO #qsmp #also i was saying when and not if bc i already know it’s gonna happen. they made a post asking for admins who speak tagalog a while ago #and they already added korean so surely they’ll add more asian languages TRUST ME GUYS #norwegians too maybe……im also norwegian even though i completely neglected to put it in my bio before like yesterday………..#my ted talk

When that little boy whispered “I wish to be liberated” I was like ME TOO BRO

#I realize this was a very specific critique of the obsession with school and education and excelling #even more specifically through a Korean lens #but - and please correct me if I’m wrong - the root cause of all those expectations is capitalism #capitalism demands you be born working #capitalism demands that you excel #and if you don’t excel past all expectations - it crushes you #even the parents in the episode say that they don’t force their children to do this because they want to #but because they “have to - ie because they want them to be successful in life #and what defines succcess?#CAPITALISM #THE ULTIMATE EVIL #anti capitalism #extraordinary attorney woo episode 10 #extraordinary attorney woo #elle watches eaw #Elle watches #eaw episode 10 #episode 10

they’re localizing the novel

#my ramblings #i don’t understand why they don’t just keep the honorifics and last name first name order #even if they’re trying to appeal to a western audience (which absolutely sucks because it’s a KOREAN NOVEL)#they can do what seven seas did and educate the readers with an index of terms to know #they’ll probably change a lot of things for the sake of localization #like it’s not the end of the world but it would be great if they keep it as close to the original as possible ://#i fear i’ll never see the phrase ‘slap yjh in the face’ in the official english translation #orv #omniscient reader’s viewpoint

Sorry if this sounds rude but if you are Korean how are your English levels so high. I’m super curious on how you studied English cuz from what I know, Koreans find it hard to study English and normally their English are decent

it's bc i was born in england lmao :> i spent my kindergarten years in korea but i live in england!

#fairyhaos.answers #korea have an incredibly intense education system tho like seriously #i was learning english back in nursery along with korean and how to write full sentences and everything #while in england kids just play around during nursery 💀

I only know the rudimentary basics of japanese imperialism in south korea but i am finding the way the novel handles it interesting 👍 orv clearly is a novel very interested in and concerned with the history of its country, and I like how frequently korean historical figures and conflicts show up in the text, since it does push me to learn a lot more about a culture and history I've never known much about. I'm curious how this stuff ends up reading to korean readers - is it a normal and even inspiring level of national pride, or does it end up reading as a little nationalistic? given sk's history of facing horrifically violent imperialism, I really would understand a novel writer's urge to invoke a sense of pride and importance in their country's historical figures, but idk enough to say much one way or the other

#nic's great orv reread #theres a whoooooole conversation happening in the peace land arc that I am simply not educated enough to grasp well #i would like to do some reading. i really am curious about all of orv's stuff re: history #i also know Extremely Little about current south korean politics. also something i should take a look at

Can someone enlighten me?

YouTube had the following video in my feed today, and I decided to watch it as it’s a performance of “On”. It’s one of my favorite BTS songs, and I love the choreo.

Thing is, there’s this curious changing of shoes that happens right as they are going to sing (performing an encore), that I do not understand. Even though the guys are about to dance again, they all take off their boots and shoes to put on slip-ons.... slip-ons?

Sometimes I see things in their tv shows that I don’t understand and don’t find explanations for, and this is one. Can someone kindly explain why the guys were doing this on stage before performing again?

Joonie sure did have some challenges with those slip-ons.... lol.... Jimin just kinda rocked it, as best as he could... swagger and everything.... 🤣

youtube

#bts on m countdown #bts on #its the slip-ons #bts from 2020 #i was in the first 6 months of my deep dive when this hit #jimin and his swagger #the things they do on korean tv #educate me

i had a dream that tim was a southern raised by his korean grandma (janet's mom ?) and then he moved to Gotham and he was just as good a detective (and besides batman's he also figured out superman's identity 'cause he lived close-by to smallville) except

for some reason (i'm latina and I imagined my own family stuff, i know south america and south korea have very different cultures) i imagined him hitting damian with a rolled up newspaper every time damian was a brat and i also imagined him being all proper and ridiculously good at cooking. also he would drink black tea for caffeine.

HE ALSO WOULDN'T TALK BACK TO OLDER PEOPLE NEVER EVER (older like.... alfred, maybe bruce, even ra's, I'm not talking about dick and etc)

#tim drake #tim drake wayne #maybe not a Wayne I'm not sure if he would ever want to be adopted #jack drake would be white he is the whitest #janet's parents are both south korean tho #SOUTHERN RAISED IN AUSTIN TEXAS #very proper man he would never drop out of highschool he isn't crazy #my mother wouldn't let me NOT go to college that's not possible #damian wayne #he would be hit with a newspaper #idk what education thalia gave him tim is giving him a decent one #dick grayson #dick should be fucking scared tim wouldn't let him hit the door on his face wtf #bruce wayne #batman #batfamily #he would also hit jason with a newspaper #jason todd #red robin #he is friends with clark #bruce doesn't know how he got a superman fan as a son but he never knows how he got tim anyway #very southern drawl and very proper man #he respects alfred so much and he is allowed in the kitchen #they brew tea together #bruce has a lot of messy children let him have TWO (2) well behaved ones (cass and tim)#cass and tim as asian sibling duo of chaos #tim WEARING TRADITIONAL CLOTHING SOMETIMES #tim has a tea set #tim and CONNER IN THIS AU #timkon
