Conversation, writing, and reading were the most efficient study methods for my second and third languages, especially for retention and review!
when learning a second language, what's the most efficient method? I want to start watching Mexican TV and movies with Spanish subtitles. I think that's better than English subtitles, right?

Cette dernière semaine, j'ai participé à quelques conversations vocales pour pratiquer mon coréen. Chaque appel dure trois heures ou plus donc ça m'aidait bcp. Quelques conversations vocales étaient pour pratiquer le japonais mais parfois il y a des gens qui parlent le coréen aussi donc j'ai écouté

Ewha students tried to save their school and ended up saving our whole country

I'm translating a novel by Park Seolyeon on Kang Juryong, a labor union activist who staged this rooftop protest in Pyongyang during the Japanese occupation. She made the front pages of all the dailies. www.ildaro.com/9290

Was asked to interview for a western media outlet and they were like "and has the impeachment vote awakened the women into political consciousness" and I was like ??? Women have always been the FOREFRONT of protest in Korea: Yoo Gwan Soon, stroller-pushing mothers in 2008, Ewha Women's Uni in 2016??

Not received, but I most often take notes in my TL (if I need more supplementary notes, I write those in my TL too, and then I use my first lang if it's really necessary)
Both langs I learned through school or as a self-studying heritage speaker. If it was a lang from scratch, I'd prob try from int

Hehe I'm only missing Whale among the physical books displayed, which feels great. I have both KR + ENG editions of 아몬드, 타워, 대도시의 사랑법, and 저주 토끼. 고래 has been on my list to buy and read since before the Booker announcement too, so I gotta work my way through the rest of these to get to it ☺️
Our books are featured in the Korean Cultural Centre UK's exhibition Bestselling & Beloved! It's on until 31st January 2025.

— Korean (learning hanja only as a shortcut to figure out 한자어 without using a dictionary lol)
— French (standard)
Will learn in future:
— ASL
— MSA
— Maghrebi Arabic or Emirati Arabic (I count this as separate from MSA)

My main beef with Duolingo, aside from some of the wonkiness that was going on with some Asian language courses back when I tried them out, is how they fired real people just to replace them with AI. Language is at its core such a human thing...
Duolingo isn't perfect but I don't think it's as useless as everyone tries to make it seem.
Yes, there are better apps but it's a start and usually a more accesible one. #langsky

That said, I hope the conservative party imprisons their National Assembly members at their hq every weekend until the next election or impeachment 💜 That’ll go down really well for everyone, especially said members
oh, the conservatives are not in the NA building but their party hq?
Anyway, they’re having a party meeting while the National Assembly is in session, very normal behavior in a week that’s been replete with normal behavior from the conservatives

Rollercoaster of emotions right now. I absolutely despise Korean politics but I'm so proud of my people filling the streets and protesting on a freezing Saturday. Undoubtedly first of many long, cold days. 멀리서 응원합니다.

Talked to some protesters at length-- they told me they came out expecting impeachment to fail but that it was important to come out anyways and put pressure on the legislature. "See you next weekend, you bastards," one said.

Reports are coming in everywhere that cafés and restaurants around the National Assembly have received so many prepaid credits by anonymous citizen donors that they are *no longer accepting* prepaid orders.
Any protester at and around the National Assembly is encouraged to use these credits ☕️ ✊🏼

Reading a non-YA novel in my target language was definitely the hardest thing I've done so far to work towards mastering my TL!
It was 대도시의 사랑법 by 박상영 작가님. Also @antonhur.com's translation LOVE IN THE BIG CITY is one of my favorite lit in translation books, been raving about it since 2022 🥰

As an actual Korean citizen and resident with a Korean legal education to boot, my perspective of Korean culture and politics tends to be… correct.
I post mostly about literature and working as a translator of books—I also travel A LOT for work. Here I am in Sydney, Australia.

Korea Expert here. I’ll explain what’s going on over there because the Orient can be confusing to Westerners. In Korea, there is a concept known as “the law.” (법) This is a set of rules which are enforced to encourage prosocial behavior and ensure stability which leaders aren’t allowed to break.
