Does anyone have a translation for 수국차? It's bagged tea. It comes in a white and pink package. Googling has yielded variations on Mountain Jasime tea and Dew-Drop tea. When I ask about those names in tea shops, they always give me a funny look. I (for the most part) hate tea. Except for this delicious tea! I use it while commentating, and I'm down to my last bag. I would actually go as far as ordering it from Korea, but searching on naver / daum doesn't even yield any results. I'm desperate! | ||

차 is "tea", and "수국" translates to "Hydrangea" on Google translate. Wikipedia Hydrangea page says "In Korean tea, Hydrangea serrata (hangul:산수국 hanja:山水菊) is used for a herbal tea called sugukcha (수국차) or ilsulcha (이슬차)." I hope this helps ^^. | ||

it's almost a fusion of japanese (99% same grammar rules) and chinese (origin of the korean language). it's just hard because there are a lot of slangs. you can learn the formal korean and survive in business settings and so forth, but in order to socialize with your peers you need to know some informal/slang korean. | ||

Even most korean older generations and overseas people have hard time with younger generation language/culture. and while there probably is larger communication gap in korea. it seems like theyre inventing new memes and slangs every second... Thats how it is with all culture anway. white parents arent gonna be expected to know their todays white kid's ebonics/l337 speek mixed slangs either. | ||

Would you say that this native speaker interaction would have to be face-to-face. Could it come through other means such as skype, or e-mails maybe? try to talk with people face to face (via skype or w/e). you are going to have to learn the accents and the "flow" of the language. you won't want to speak korean like you are speaking cantonese (among other possibilities/ not meant to be a dis) On March 25 2011 04:31 NIJ wrote: depends on if you're hanging out with younger people.

I really need the motivation and the "surround yourself with Koreans". I have friends from just about every major background, except Korean. I have no idea why. | ||

I had no interest in the Spanish language, but due to mandatory classes, I took four years of it during middle and high school. (repeating 'levels' 1 and 2 twice) This wasn't that long ago, and honestly all I have retained is very basic knowledge/vocabulary. (I did spend more time goofing off then learning, after all I was not interested) But then, not shortly long after, I took up French. I wasn't eager at first, but after realizing how little I cared about Spanish I should make an effort this time. I only took one year/course, but I know more French then Spanish because I tried and gave it an effort. I think if you are properly motivated and seek the tools, any new language can come easily. You just have to want to learn it, and not see it as a chore. | ||

My mom speaks fluent English, so I never was challenged with the idea of resorting to speak Korean to get my point across. Don't get me wrong, if I were in Korea, I'd be able to get around just fine, but my vocabulary is around that of a 3-year-old. I really need the motivation and the "surround yourself with Koreans". I have friends from just about every major background, except Korean. I have no idea why. I'm kinda the same way with my french. I can get my point across, and I can understand what people are saying to me, but my vocabulary is quite simplistic, and my lexicon of verb tenses is less than impressive. I have german friends, spanish, italian, but not a single french friend  | ||
