2.18.2024 — 오늘 제 여동생의 방에서 공부해요. 저는 너무 바빠. Besides the chapter quiz, which should really only take 십오 minutes or less, I’m literally taking the day off of work and studying to run errands and clean. 근데, 저는 책상을 샀어요. I’m sort of excited, mostly to decorate my space. It’s pretty small, but I’ll make it my own. Midterms are this week along with normal course work, so here we go!

The Korean verbs 사용하다 and 이용하다 both mean "to use" in English, but they have slightly different nuances and contexts of use. Let's break down these two verbs and their meanings in more detail: (𝟏) 사용하다 The word "사용하다" is derived from the Hanja characters 사용(使用), where "사" means "make/use" and "용" means "use". This verb emphasizes the practical use of something for its intended purpose or function, and it is often used in reference to tools, appliances, or devices. E.g. 저는 칼을 사용해서 감자 껍질 벗어요. (I use a knife to peel potatoes.) 옛날에는 비둘기를 통신용으로 사용했던 시기가 있었습니다. (In the old days, there was a time when pigeons were used as a means of communication.) - Additionally, 사용하다 can also mean "to hire" or "to employ" someone for a particular purpose. E.g. 우리 회사에서는 신제품 홍보를 위해 외부 인력을 사용했어요. (We used external personnel to promote our new products in our company.) * The term 사용인 (使用人) refers to an employee or a servant. (𝟐) 이용하다 The term 이용하다 is derived from the Hanja characters 이용(利用), where "이" means "profit/benefit" and "용" means "use". This verb refers to the utilization of something as occasion demands in a way that is helpful or beneficial to oneself. Most of the time, this verb carries the connotation of utilizing something to achieve a positive outcome or benefit. - 이용하다 is frequently used with public transportation, facilities such as buses, libraries, or services like online shopping. E.g. 저는 보통 버스를 이용해서 학교에 다닙니다. (I usually use the bus to go to school.) 이번 학기에는 논문을 쓸 예정이기 때문에 도서관을 자주 이용할 거예요. (I'm planning to write a thesis this semester, so I'll use the library often.) - Furthermore, 이용하다 can also be used to describe taking advantage of something or someone for one's own benefit, which may not necessarily be positive. It implies taking advantage of someone or something for personal gain. E.g. 남의 약점을 이용하지 마라! (Don't take advantage of others' weakness!) 좋은기회를 이용해서 지수와 친해지고싶네요. (I want to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to Jisoo.) Here are two more examples to compare two verbs: 사라는 연필을 사용해서 혜정에게 편지를 썼어요. (Sara wrote a letter to Hyejeong using a pencil.) -> The function of a pencil is writing. 사라는 연필을 이용해서 혜정의 목을 찌른 직후 그 자리에서 경찰에게 현행범으로 체포됐어요. (Sara was caught red-handed on the spot right after she stabbed Hyejeong in the neck using a pencil.) ->  Stabbing someone is not the intended function of a pencil, but Sara still used it to carry out her action. 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: - It's worth noting that in some cases, 사용하다 and 이용하다 can be used interchangeably, as they both indicate using something for a specific purpose. E.g 핸드폰을 이용해서 검색했어요. (O) 핸드폰을 사용해서 검색했어요. (O) (I searched using my cell phone.) - However, in other cases, one may be more appropriate than the other, depending on the context. E.g. 어른에게 존댓말을 이용하도록 합니다 (X) 어른에게 존댓말을 사용하도록 합니다 (O) (Use honorific language when speaking to adults.) - Lastly, 쓰다 is a more informal verb that can be used in place of 사용하다 and 이용하다 in many cases and is commonly used in daily conversation. In conclusion, while both verbs have a similar meaning of "use", 이용하다 specifically refers to using something in a way that benefits oneself or takes advantage of a situation, while 사용하다 is more general and just refers to using something. It is important to consider the context and meaning of the sentence when selecting which verb to use. #KoreanLanguage #LearnKorean #Studywithme

Hey could share some tips abt learning new Lang you seem to have good grasp by now and I m willing to start Korean so maybe some advice would really help I g.
Have a grt day :))
I would love to! My advice won't be too structured so please bear with me 😭💕
New Script
First things first your target language has a different script. Since you've written your ask in English I understand that you're familiar with the Roman script. Please understand this, when you're learning a language and it has a script you're not familiar with, drop everything and familiarise yourself with the script first. A lot of students tend to develop a tendency of relying upon the script they already know to be able to read the text of their target language(hereinafter mentioned as TL). I'm in my third year of studying Japanese. Japanese has 3 scripts. Students who didn't familiarise themselves with the Japanese scripts still rely on writing the pronunciations of words in English. The learning of the Korean script is not just limited to memorising the letters, but as far as I can remember, the positions of the letters also matter. Essentially, you need to know the script like the back of your hand. Since the Korean language has gained a lot of traction in the past few years, there are now a number of apps for you to practice writing the script and provides flashcards for you to retain the script.
Gather Study Material/Make a Study Plan
If you're planning on self studying, do extensive research, on YouTube, Tumblr, find other people who are learning the same TL as you are, ask them what resources they use. As far as a beginner is concerned, most platforms provide basic learning material for free. If you need to get a basic framework or a goal to work towards, look for the proficiency test of your language and if it is conducted in your country. For Korean it would be the TOPIK test if I'm not wrong. The lowest level is 1, highest 5. Jot down the syllabus or print it. And start researching on gathering the material to cover that syllabus. This way you won't feel like you're arbitrarily studying whatever you can get your hands on. It'll give you a goal to work towards. For TOPIK level 1, I believe you'll easily find free resources online.
Understanding Sentence Structure
Grammar structure that is whether your TL is a Subject+Object+Verb(eg. Japanese, Hindi, Korean) or a Subject+Verb+Object(eg. English, Chinese). If you already happen to know a language that has the same sentence structure as your TL, take that language as your base language to learn the TL.
Input vs Output
When you're learning a new language, there's two things happening. One is Input, the other is your Output. Input would include reading and listening and output would be writing and speaking. Please understand that it might be a while before you can fluently create output. When you're starting out, a great amount of input is needed to "create" output in your TL. And by create I mean being able to create sentences in your TL as opposed to creating a sentence in your native language and then translating it to your TL. Being able to intuitively, effortlessly create sentences, or think in a new language takes a LOT of input. Think of how long it takes babies to speak because they don't have a base language from which they can translate. They gather input for such a long time before they can string two words together. So don't feel disheartened when you sit down to write something in your TL but words just won't come to you. It's fine. Put your focus into gathering a lot of input.
Kind of Input to Look For
An important thing to consider when you're in your quest for gathering input, is to gather such input as would be useful to your level of understanding of the TL. Imagine if a lawyer started talking to a baby to increase the vocab capacity of the baby. it won't work. Find materials suited to your level. If you're a beginner read children's books, watch children's cartoons. The good thing about being an adult is that we can learn faster than a baby, so naturally we might progress on to intermediate level more easily than a kid but that doesn't mean we can skip the part where we have to read kid's books.
Overcoming the Intermediate Level Boredom/Lack of Motivation
The true problem arises when we're at a lower intermediate level. So now we know more than just the basics, but not enough to be able to understand our favourite shows or read the novels or comics we'd like to read. The solution is to remind yourself again, that lower intermediate level requires reading and listening to content of that very level. This is the one place I've seen so many students give up because language does get progressively harder from here. And most people who are relying purely on studying grammar and cramming vocab from a boring list tend to feel super burnt out. The solution is to read and especially read fiction. Fiction will naturally create interest in finding out what a particular word means. I've never managed to learn vocab from a list. It's tedious, boring and I always run the risk of ending up hating my TL. So read, and always read the stories suited to your level of understanding.
Same goes for listening. Immerse yourself in podcasts, youtube channels of your TL. Again at the level that suits you. Being able to understand something in your TL gives a confidence boost and motivates you to study more to be able to understand even more complex grammar, which is why I'm focusing so much on gathering input that is suited to your level of understanding of the TL.
This got a bit too long than I had planned😅 I hope this helps. I might add something later on. I'd love it if other langblrs would like to add to this.
Learning a new language is soooo exciting but you must MUST know that it requires a tremendous amount of patience. When you're starting out and feel frustrated that you're still not able to understand movies or books in your target language, remind yourself that you're the equivalent of a 6-7 year old student when you're studying the language and be kind to yourself as you would be to a kid. I hope I was able to help you out, sending all the love for your language learning journey💕

04.08.2024 — What a gloomy day today. We are having our second 가을, as we usually do this time of year in WA state.
Today I studied new vocabulary, reviewed last week’s material, talked with my 교수님 a bit, and updated the course Quizlet.
That’s all for today, folks.
