A New Year Greeting

December 31, 2019

I forgot to include this in the post for the last lesson. We did a gift exchange for Christmas and so apart from wishing each other a Merry Christmas, we also did a New Year greeting. (The next time we will see each other is in the new year.)

"Merry Christmas" is... Merry Christmas: 메리 크리스마스.

To wish someone the best for the new year: 새해 복 많이 받으세요!

Bonus (German, since my teacher made me say this the day before for my German lesson): (Ich wunsche dir) einen guten Rutsch ins 2020!

Literally, you are wishing the person a good slide into the new year, kind of like wishing that the new year will be smooth sailing.

It's past midnight where I am now, so it is the new year. Happy 2020!

For myself, I hope it will be a good year, better than 2019... no, not just hope, but I'll make it better.

That ended up with those cards being prioritised over the Korean cards that I had added, usually in a subdeck when I'm doing that chapter, before being mer...

Lesson 13 (Beginner 1A L5)

January 6, 2020

I have decided to add the lesson number within the course to the title for this and all future posts. This will make it easier to keep track of in future. I don't imagine I'd stop taking the lessons for a while. I'll continue to increment each lesson by 1 still for each post. I'm currently on the second set of 8 lessons, which is Beginner 1A. Before this, the first 8 lessons were classified as Foundation. In this lesson, there was a test on the conjugation for the verbs and their meanings. Las...
