My true feeling about English, '영어에 대한 나의 솔직한 심정!'

The more I listen to English old pop songs, the more my heart seems to be swept away by English. The more I learn English, the more my heart seems to be gripped by it. I tend to get into a slump easily; I forget English vocabulary, quit reading English books, and go back to my dull routine. so I need to control my lazy mind. Sometimes I ask myself : How am I supposed to live without English?, How am I supposed to enjoy my life without it? Some people may laugh at me, but no matter what they tell me, or no matter what they think of me, I don't want to make the same mistakes as before. I think learning languages is such a lonely thing. When I go through the dark tunnel, I think of you as a bright light shining beside me. I also want to be the light for you. Thanks a lot! My friends!! **** 영어 올드팝송을 들으면 들을수록 제 마음은 영어에 빠져들어요. 영어를 공부하면 할수록, 제 마음은 그것에 매료당해요. 매순간 저는 슬럼프의 위기에 처하는데 예를 들면 영어단어 잊어버리는 것, 영어책 읽기를 그만두는 것과 지루한 일상생활로 돌아가는 것이에요. 그래서 저는 저의 게으른 마음을 다스릴 필요가 있어요. 가끔 제게 물어봐요. “영어 없이 어떻게 살아가지?”, "영어 없이 어떻게 내 삶을 즐기지?” 어떤 사람들을 저를 비웃을지도 몰라요. 그러나 그들이 내게 뭐라 말하든, 또는 뭐라 생각하든지 저는 전과 같은 똑같은 실수를 하고 싶지 않아요. 언어를 공부하는 것은 정말 외로운 일이에요. 제가 어두운 터널을 지나갈 때 친구들은 제 머리맡을 비춰주는 불빛 같아요. 고마워요! 친구들!

Korean Mask, Tal , '한국 탈!'

Image
There are various kinds of masks in Korea. Have you ever heard ‘탈’? “탈” means 'mask' in Korean. Let me introduce the Hahoe Tal in Andong city. The Hahoe Tal is the only set of masks designated as a national treasure (No.121). It is highly regarded highly as a masterpiece in the area of mask art as well as a Korean cultural asset. There were 14 masks in the Hahoe Tal : Two Jusi Tal, Gaksi Tal, Yangban Tal, Seonbi Tal, Jung Tal, Baekjeong Tal, Choraengi Tal, Halmi Tal, Imae Tal, Bune Tal, Chonggak Tal, Byeochae Tal and Ddeodari Tal. But Byeochae Tal, Ddeodari Tal and Chonggak Tal were lost and not handed down. Some of Hahoe Tal, Yangban Tal, Seonbi Tal, Jung Tal and Baekjeong Tal have a special function: they have movable lower jaws, while other masks don't For example, if a performer, wearing a mask, bends his head back, his mouth will open wide so that he looks like he is smiling. If he bends his head forward, his mouth will close so he looks angry. ................. 한국에는...

How to make Meju, '메주 만드는 법'

Image
Have you ever had Korean food? I think that most countries have their own special sauces to cook with. Korea also has special and traditional sauces like soy sauce (ganjang, 간장), soybean paste (doenjang, 된장), and red pepper paste (gochujang, 고추장). To make doenjang, gochujang, and ganjang, we have to make the blocks of fermented soybeans (Meju, 메주). When I was a child, I often saw my mom making them. But now I am used to buying the sauces, instead of making them! *How to make Meju, '메주'* ---------------- 1. Prepare yellow soybeans and keep them soaked in water for about 8 hours. 2. Boil yellow soybeans for about 6 hours. 3. Mash boiled yellow soybeans. 4. Put them into a box to make the block shape and press it well. 5. Put the Meju to in a room to dry for a few days. 6. Hang them for about a month under the eaves, or an airy place, to dry well

Even brushing past a person is one's karma. '옷깃만 스쳐도 인연'

There's an old saying that says even brushing past a person is one's karma. Buddhism says that it's very difficult to meet again in this life time if there isn't a special connection in a previous life. Haven't you ever come across a person by chance without making promises on the earth living billions of people? The unit of brushing past a person is 'Gup' this means the time from the beginning of the world to next beginning of the world. It takes 500gup to brush past a person. You and I must have had a special relationship and have taken at least 500gup to meet here........ 옛말에 ‘옷깃만 스쳐도 인연’이란 말이 있어요. 불가에서는 전생에 특별한 연이 없으면 현생에서 만나기 힘들다고 말해요. 수십억명이 살고 있는 이 지구상에 여러분은 약속을 하지 않았는데도 아주 우연히 마주친 사람은 없었나요? 옷깃이 스치는 인연은 ‘겁’이라는 단위로 설명하여 겁은 천지가 한번 개백하고 다음 개백이 시작할 때까지의 시간을 뜻해요. 옷깃이 한 번 스치는데 500겁의 시간이 걸려요. 부부는 7000겁, 부모 자식 간은 8000겁, 스승과 제자는 10,000겁. 저와 여러분의 관계도 적어도 500겁 이상의 인연이 쌓여 여기서 만났음이 틀림없네요..... * Husband and Wife - 7,000gup * Parents and Child - 8,000gup * Teac...
