(I posted this quickly from the waiting line to get a freebie 😆 but I really think I’ll start posting again here on blue sky, this was a good excuse to post sth)

Oh viel Erfolg!!! Wir schaffen das endlich 💪🎓

네, 가끔 '안녕하세요'라고만 말해도 그 사람이 (보통 아줌마 ㅋㅋ) "와, 한국어 정말 잘하시네요!"라고 해주셨어요 ㅎㅎ 그리고 한국에서 만난 친구들과는 한국어와 영어를 섞어서 얘기했어요. 근데 독일에서 한국 친구들과는 그렇게 많이 한국어를 말하지 않지만, 한국에서는 훨씬 더 많이 말했던 것 같아요.... 왜 그런지 모르겠지만, 한국에서는 더 자신감 있게 한국어를 말했던 것 같아요.

Und ich will danach auch noch einen Master machen… aber vielleicht mache ich zwischen Bachelor und Master ein bisschen Pause, mein Kopf braucht das 🫠

한국에서는 한국어로 말하는 게 더 자신 있었어.. 왜? 🤔 친구도 독일에서는 영어를 못 한다고 했는데, 다른 나라에서는 문제없이 영어로 말했대

oh yes I always use Sie when I meet someone in a more formal setting, but I kinda feel awkward asking if I can duzen 😅 and I also never know if I should keep calling someone “Herr/Frau/Dr. …”or switch to their first name at some point when writing emails

and i decided to write to him in english to avoid formality stress (aka never knowing when to use Sie or du)!! i just texted a german friend about this and i hope she can help me, bc even reddit couldn’t help me hsjsjjs

there’s always sth that goes missing in a translation, and i wish i could read everything in its original language, but sadly i can’t do that 😔

but like right now i’m reading my second murakami book in german and idk if i should read my next murakami book in english for a change or stick to german? and also han kang, i’ve read two of her books in portuguese, one in german and i’m going to read greek lessons in english soon, but idk..

thank youu!

hii, i’m also from langtwt! :)

anyways, i went to korea for the first time at the end of september and i ended up speaking way more korean than i thought i could?????? idk how i did that, my korean is not that good in germany
