Free Korean Language Class @ Korea Plaza KL

Oremaneyo~ ^^.

This blog statistic still in good level even though there is no update for about..urm..a month? Hehe. Thank you for your never ending support for this blog.

지금 일을 너무 많아서 바빠요.

Since I'll go to Korea next year, you can expect a lot of post about Korea and Korean Language in the future. Trip preparation.

First thing to prepare - improving my Korean language skill.

Korea Plaza KL has opened their Korean Language class registration for Jan - March 2013 intake. So, it is a free class, taught by Korean teacher. Maybe I will join the class. The class schedule seems okay with mine.

Planning A Trip To South Korea

One day, my friend asked me," Let's go to South Korea next year."

At that moment, I just said,"Yeah. Sure. Why not." without knowing any interesting places over there. I don't know where should I go and what kind of activity should I try.

So, I did what anyone else will do, I google-ed  about it.

Here I list down several places that I should go (or try to go) within my 10 days trip :-

1. Lotte World (롯데월드)
2. Insadong
3. Myeongdong
4. Hongdae
5. Namdaemun Market
6. Gyeongbokgung Palace
7. Bukchon Hanok Village (북촌한옥마을)
8. Seoul Central Mosque
9. Cheonggyecheon Stream
10. Namsan Tower
11. Korea Folk Village
12. Han River Cruise
13. Nami Island
14. Petite France (쁘띠 프랑스)
15. Jeju
16. Busan

For now, I must go to Korea Folk Village (한국민속촌) to see Arang & The Magistrate filming scene and Trick Art Museum because of Heartstrings. Hehe.

While I'm searching on how to go to Jeju, I saw one familiar name - Pink Dolphin. Adam Couple! It's a ferry to go to Jeju from Mokpo ferry terminal.

Have you been to Korea before? Can you suggest me any interesting places to visit and activities I can do over there? :)

KBS Star Date With SHINee

Korea Day 2012 @ Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre

안녕~

Last Sunday I went to Korea Day 2012 at Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre with my friend (actually, 우리 언니). Hehe. We went there around 11 am and there were many booths still not open yet (or maybe they didn't open because it was the last day).

First thing we do over there was medical check up for blood pressure, sugar, and body fat by Sunway Healthcare staff. After that we signed up for Kimchi cooking class where they teach you how to make Kimchi and prepare other food using Kimchi. They prepared for us Pancake Kimchi (김치전) and Kimchi Fried Rice (김치 볶음밥). The food is very delicious!

Chef set up ingredients used in Kimchi for visitor

They cook Kimchi Fried Rice on the spot.

Pose with Janggo (Korea Traditional Drum)

I shamelessly asked for men's hanbok since they didn't have women's hanbok that fits on me.

투호 (Tuho) - Traditional Game

We watched several performances on that day too. Traditional dance - fan dance, drum dance. Special performance from Natalie Band. They covered Gangnam Style and Roly Poly dance. Natalie, the founder, was a professional dance choreographer in Korea before she married and moved here. All the members are housewives!

See you next time Korea Day 2013! :)

Korean Family Names

Annyeong! :)

Suddenly I want to name a few of my favourite Korean celebrities.

SHINee Choi Minho - SHINee Lee Taemin - 2AM Jo Kwon - BEG Son Gain - Jang Keun Suk - Park Shin Hye - Lee Hong Ki - CNBLUE Jung Yong Hwa - Kim Hee Chul - Kim Jae Joong - Song Ji Hyo

If you can see, the word in different colour above is Korean family names. According to Ask A Korean, there are meaning behind each name. For example 김 [Kim] means gold, 이 [Lee] means plum tree, 박 [Park/Pak] means Magnolia tree and 최[Choi] means pinnacle.


Some common Korean family names:-

강 [Kang], 권 [Kwon], 김 [Kim], 박 [Park], 이 [Lee], 유 [Yoo], 윤 [Yoon], 류 [Ryu], 하 [Ha], 한 [Han]

But did you know that even though some people share the same family name, they might not have any family relationship at all. Why? Seoulistic come to help.



What is the first name appear in your mind for each of family names above?
Mine is Kang Sora, Kwon Jiyong, Kim Heechul, Park Yejin, Lee Hyori, Yoo Jaesuk, Yoon Dujun, Ryu Siwon, Ha Jiwon, Han Gain.

Have a 'Wonder Girls' weekend, 여러분! ^^

Belajar Bahasa Korea - Perkenalkan Diri

Dah lama sangat tak update post Belajar Bahasa Korea, jadi kali ni kita belajar / ulangkaji macam mana nak memperkenalkan diri dalam bahasa Korea secara asas ye.

Ayat yang selalu digunakan:-
안녕하세요
annyeonghasaeyo
– Hai / Apa khabar?

안녕히 가세요
annyeongi gasaeyo
– Selamat jalan (diucapkan kepada mereka yang pergi)

안녕히 계세요
annyeongi gyesaeyo
– Selamat tinggal.

(만나서) 반가워요
mannaseo bangaweoyo
– Gembira berjumpa awak.
*kalau nak cakap 반가워요 sahaja pun takpe

이름이 뭐예요?
Iremi muoyeyo
– Apakah nama awak?

Masih belum boleh membaca huruf Hangul? Boleh lihat post berkaitan Huruf Hangul.

Dialog #1

가 : 안녕하세요. 저는 김재중이에요.
annyeonghasaeyo. Cheonen Kim Jae Joong-iyeyo.
- Apa khabar? Saya Kim Jae Joong.

나 : 안녕하세요. 저는 이준기예요.
annyeonghasaeyo. Cheonen i Jun Ki-yeyo.
- Apa khabar? Saya Lee Jun Ki.

NOTA

-이에요 / -예요 adalah penutup ayat yang menunjukkan identiti seseorang / sesuatu.

Contoh:

저는 선생님이에요.
seonsaengnim-iyeyo.
- Saya seorang guru.

Ada 받침 (batchim), pakai -이에요. Takde batchim, guna -예요.

Contoh ada batchim:-

김 재 중
konsonan di hujung perkataan itulah batchim, jadi kena guna -이에요.

저는 김재중이에요.

Contoh takde batchim pula:-

이 준 기
Perkataan diakhiri dengan huruf vokal. Jadi guna -예요.

저는 이준기예요.

Jangan risau, nanti kita cuba cover topik batchim kemudian.

Soalan untuk para pembaca harini, 이름이 뭐예요? ^^,

Jung Il Woo with Holika Holika in Malaysia 2012

Supposed to publish this post on 23rd September, but the mood did not come yet. Hee. So, this is a quick update  with photos. Enjoy!

On 23rd September 2012, Jung Il Woo, a South Korean actor, came to Malaysia as Holika Holika ambassador to meet and greet Malaysia fans at Berjaya Times Square.

Actually, I'm too busy until I forgot about the event. Just happened to see the stage prepared for the event on my way to Border Express.

I saw two girls and asked them when will the event start and they said, it will start on 2pm and they offered me their extra passes. Thank you very very very much! :)

Fans waiting for Jung Il Woo.

-->

I can't hear clearly what he said on the stage. Yeah. Fans were screaming frantically. 

Shake hand with fans. But I saw on Holika Holika facebook, he also have autograph session on that day.

Few minutes before he came, there were a group dancing Gangnam Style. After that, the MC asked fans to sing happy birthday song in three different language for Jung Il Woo. Right after the songs ended, Jung Il Woo entered and this is the moment I become deaf for a while. Haha.

Info:

Level 1, next to GSC Cinema.

Bahasa Korea - #CNBLUE Dream Boy

안녕하세요~

Lama sangat tak update seksyen Belajar Bahasa Korea. 미안해요. Maklumlah dah nak dekat raya kan? Jadi kena bekerja keras mencari rezeki untuk persiapan raya. Ayat skema betul. Hehe.

Kali ni nak update seksyen Bahasa Korea dengan belajar melalui lirik lagu dan lagu pilihan saya kali ni adalah lagu daripada kumpulan CNBLUE yang bertajuk Dream Boy.

*****

*****

CNBLUE

Dream Boy

그래 하늘향해 힘껏 뛰어볼까

피터팬이 될수도 있잖아

뻗은 손이 구름을 잡고서 타고 날수도 있어

원하면 할수도 있어

잃어버린 웃음을 찾고싶어

놓쳐버린 희망을 찾고싶어

그 때가 그리워져 다시 난 돌아갈래

1. 할 수 있어요

Memang saya saja keluarkan -도 daripada ayat tu untuk tunjukkan yang basic saja. 할 수 있어요 bermaksud 'boleh lakukan' atau dalam english memberi maksud 'i can do it'

Formula dia macam ni:-
Kata kerja (v) + ㄹ/를 수 있어요

Contoh:

Saya boleh makan durian

두리안을 먹을 수 있어요.

Kalau nak kata 'tak boleh ........' boleh tukar 있어요 kepada 없어요.

Formula:
Kata kerja (v) + ㄹ/를 수 없어요.

Contoh:

Saya tak boleh memandu

운전 할 수 없어요

2. 찾고 싶어요

Ayat ni memberi maksud - 'mahu mencari'.

Formula untuk menunjukkan korang nak buat sesuatu adalah seperti berikut:-
Kata kerja (v) + 고 싶어요

Contoh:

makan = 먹다

Saya nak makan

먹고 싶어요

Mesti korang selalu dengar perkataan ni - 보고 싶어요 / 보고 싶어 - yang bermaksud, 'i miss you'. ;)

보 : berasal dari 보다 (melihat)
-고 싶어요 : mahu/nak (kata kerja)

Kalau translate bulat-bulat dari perkataan tu, 보고 싶어요 bermaksud 'teringin nak lihat awak'. :D

ps: cuba biasakan diri tidak melihat romanization supaya boleh membaca hangul dengan baik.

(Eng Sub) Jang Keun Suk Documentary

Asia Prince - Jang Keun Suk

That's what he called himself - Asia Prince. I don't know whether he is a truly an Asia Prince but his popularity in Asia especially in Japan is tremendous.

From the interview with Japanese fans in the documentary, Japanese people from all aged like Jamg Keun Suk because of his ability to speak in Japanese very well and being and expressing his true self. Some said that his drama's characters is kind of similar with his character so they can connect the character well with him.

Jang Keun Suk and Eels

In my own opinion, I think the reason why Japanese people love him is because the way he interact and, of course, communicate with his fans. He even spend some time to meet those fans who waiting outside stadium after he finished rehearsal just for short interact.

Maybe his way of interaction cannot be seen from other Japanese celebrity which seem like a bit reserved (correct me if I'm wrong).

Becoming Hallyu Star Alone

There's not so many Korean Idol or celebrity that can achieve popularity like Jang Keun Suk achieved in Japan. He entered Japan market alone by himself not like others that have group member to share the loneliness and problem with.

Even though you're not his fan, I believe if you watch his documentary, you will also think that he deserve the success right now.

Korean Language Class @ ICLS, Fahrenheit88

Mandarin, Korean Language & I

I went to Inter-Cultural Language School (ICLS) at Fahrenheit88 last week to know more about language program that they offer with my colleague.

Actually, I went there to ask about part time Mandarin (Speaking) class. Yeah. You don't misread the sentence - it's Mandarin. Not Korean. But...please continue reading. :)

Before this I took Mandarin language class in my university but only for level 1. So, I basically know a few Chinese words but I really don't have confident speaking Mandarin because of different intonation to pronounce the word.

But I do think that Mandarin is easier than Korean.

I've told you that I, once, took Mandarin class in my university, right? In the same semester too, I took Korean language (level 1)! Hah. Two language classes in one semester. I tell you what, it's pretty hard for me to catch up two languages that absolutely different from my native language.

That was the time when I realize that Mandarin is easier than Korean language even though the pronounciation is hard to reach perfectness (for me). Once you remember the chinese character, you already can make full sentence with 5 - 6 characters only.

For example:
I go to school
wo qu xuexiao

4 characters only. I was always in a good mood to go to my Mandarin class because I can catch up with the lessons even though I joined the class 3 weeks late than other students.

But for Korean language, I have to learn the unfamiliar 41 alphabets for about a month or so. Then I learn syllable and learn how to combine the syllable to form a word. After that, I learn the rule of the word with batchim and how to pronounce it if meet certain alphabets in the next syllable. Finally learn how to form a sentence.

Everytime my seongsaengnim make the student do spelling test, I stressss like Kang Gary. Haha. The spelling test was just like english/malay spelling test in primary school but...it's hard.

You must wonder how is the spelling test right?

This is how the test was done.

First, my seongsaengnim will say 10 words in Korean and I will write down the possibility of how the words can be written. It's quite difficult to differentiate the 어 and 오 sound. I also don't know whether the word have batchim or not!

Next round, seongsaengnim will say 10 english words and I will translate it to Korean language and write it down. Again using my assumption to spell. -.-

*****

About the ICLS, I end up sitting for Korean language level test on that day. :) I will give the details of Korean language class that they have in the next post because this post is too long and mix with other stories. Mianhae.

*****

That is my story how I learn other languages that are absolutely different from mine. Korean language is pretty hard for me in the beginning but I did really well in the Level 2 class! :) So, if you have passion in learning any other language, just go for it and do your best.

4 Things To Do In Korea

It might be because of few people that are so dear to my heart, cough* heechul *cough* jaejoong *cough...the list still going on, that make me love almost everything about Korea.

Because I can't get enough of the culture, the history, the places, the people, the food and the development of this nation I might spend several years living in Korea to experience all that few years from now.

But for now, let's be realistic. Let say if I have less than a week to travel in Korea. Here my 4 Things To Do in Korea if and only if I have a flight ticket (round trip ticket, of course) to Korea, I will...

Technology

1. Go to Korea Job World (한국잡월드)

Korea Job World was opened on 15th May 2012 and was built to assist children and youth for their future by giving them a chance to experience all type of jobs. The admission fee for children & teenager (4-18 years) is 3000원 (~RM9) and adult (19 years & above) is 4000원 (~RM12). As far as I understand, this Job World is open daily from 9am - 7pm (6.30pm on weekend & public holiday).

2. Ride Nami Skyline ZipWire to go to Nami Island (English | Korea)

Like this!

Entering Nami Island like a boss :D

Rice Cake Heaven

3. Eat ddeokbokki, ddeokbokki, and more ddeok (떡) dishes!

I love the rice cake.

Train Travel

4. Go to random places in Korea by train.

I always wish I can travel around the world by train. I think it is classic and unique. Well, if I can't travel around the world at least I can travel by train in 5 different countries.

That's it for my list.

Time to answer the question.

The answer is:
i) Kyunghee University

ii) Ilsan Lake Park

Belajar Bahasa Korea - Penjodoh Bilangan

안녕 :)

Seperti yang dijanjikan, Belajar Bahasa Korea - Penjodoh Bilangan untuk ruangan Belajar Bahasa Korea kali ini. Sistem nombor yang digunakan adalah native number (하나, 둘, 셋, 넷...)

1. Umur (tahun)
Sistem native number + 살 (sal).
Contoh:
1 (하나) + 살 = 한 살 (han sal)
2 (둘) + 살 = 두 살 (du sal)
3 (셋) + 살 = 세 살 (sae sal)
4 (넷) + 살 = 네 살 (nae sal)
5 (다섯) + 살 = 다섯 살 (daseot sal)

*Nombor 1-4, nombor tersebut akan disimplifykan menjadi seperti contoh di atas.

2. Jam
Rujuk post sebelum ini tentang masa - Mengira Masa dalam Bahasa Korea.

Contoh:
지금 몇 시예요? (chigem myeot shi yae yo?)
Pukul berapa sekarang?

Pukul 12:15
(시 - jam; 분 - minit)
열두 (yeol-du) + 시 (shi) ; 십오 (shib-o) + 분 (bun)

열두 시 십오분이에요.
yeoldu-shi shib-o-buniyeyo.

3. Jam (Tempoh)
Perbezaan antara jam (tempoh) ini dengan jam no. 2 di atas ialah - 시간 (shigan) / jam digunakan bila korang memberitahu tempoh masa untuk sesuatu perbuatan.

Contoh:

집에서 학교까지 얼마나 걸려요?
jibaeseo hakgyokaji eolmana keollyeoyo?
Berapa lama (jauh) dari rumah ke sekolah?

한 시간 걸려요.
han shigan keollyeoyo.
1 jam perjalanan dari rumah ke sekolah.

4. Penjodoh bilangan (umum)

개 - gae

개 digunakan sebagai penjodoh bilangan bagi sesuatu yang tidak mempunyai penjodoh bilangan yang khusus seperti yang terdapat di dalam post kali ni.

개 boleh digunakan untuk buah-buahan, makanan, dan erm..apa lagi ye?

Contoh:

사과 세개 주세요
sagwa sae-gae jusaeyo
Sila beri saya 3 biji epal

--------------------------
Mana lagi penjodoh bilangan yang lain?
Tunggu~ :D

Belajar Bahasa Korea - Mengira Duit

안녕~

Walaupun kerja tak habis lagi tapi curi-curi masa juga buat post ni. Jom belajar macam mana nak kira duit Korea (KRW)! :)

Untuk mata wang, sistem nombor yang digunakan adalah sino-korean nombor. Lihat perbezaan sistem nombor Korea.

Untuk mengira dari nombor 1 - 9 macam biasa.

1 -일 (il)
2 -이 (i)
3-삼 (sam)
4-사 (sa)
5-오 (o)
6-육 (yuk)
7-칠 (chil)
8-팔 (pal)
9-구 (gu)
10 - 십 (ship)
100 - 백 (baek)
1000 - 천 (cheon)
10 000 - 만 (man)
100 000 - 십 만 (ship man)
1 000 000 - 백 만 (baek man)
10 000 000 - 천 만 (cheon man)
100 000 000 - 억 (eok)

Sekarang nak kira duit pula. Kalau saya kena kira duit dalam Korea pun agak lambat juga sebab banyak sangat '0'.Hihihi.

100 won  - 백 원 (baek won)
150 won  - 백오십 원 (baek o shib won)
200 won - 이백 원 (i baek won)
300 won - 산 백 원 (sam baek won)
400 won - 사 백 원 (sa baek won)
500 won - 오 백 원 (o baek won)
1000 won - 천 원 (cheon won)
1500 won - 천 오백 원 (cheon o baek won)
10 000 won - 만 원 (man won)
15 000 won - 만 오 천 원 (man o cheon won)
100 000 won - 십 만 원 (shib man won)
150 000 won - 십 오 만 원 (shib o man won)

Korang perasan tak apa persamaan yang ada dalam senarai nombor di atas? Persamaannya.....

bila bermula dengan '1' di depan, contohnya, 100 won, kita tak kira macam ni :-

100 won - 일백원 (IL baek won)

Salah tu ye. Bila 100, 1000, 10 000, 100 000 dan seterusnya kita tak letak '일' di depan kecuali 억.

Post ni sampai sini je. Nanti panjang sangat, mulalah saya merepek-repek dan korang pun nanti tak paham. Ada soalan, jangan segan silu tanya ye. Sekian. 끝!

Halal Korean Food @ Berjaya Times Square, Taste Of Asia Food Court

Annyeong!

Today, I would like to recommend you the one and only Korean food stall in Taste of Asia Food Court, Berjaya Times Square.

It is the same Korean food stall in the food court before but they have new owner and more food selections! Okay, I forgot to ask the owner's name but she is a Korean people and has been living in Malaysia for 4 years. She knows a little bit of Malay words and very friendly.

How to order food in restaurant/food stall in Korean?

(food you want to eat) + (quantity) + 주세요.

Ex:
food I want to eat = Bibimbap
quantity = only one for me. (Note: Use native Korean number system)

비빔밥 하나 주세요.
bibimbap hana jusaeyo.
Please give me one bibimbap.

Now that you know how to order food in Korean, use it when you order your food with the Korean food stall owner. She loves it when Malaysian people speak in Korean with her. Don't worry if she suddenly talk to you about anything in Korean because she will translate word by word to you. Free korean language lesson while ordering your food! XD

RaBokki. Have boiled egg in it. I'm in love with 'deok'!

The food price range from RM4.50 ~ RM50. I think the most expensive dish over there is Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken. All foods come with a glass of Korean tea.

Seaweed soup. Side dish.

Where is the place?
Taste of Asia Food Court is in LG level, Berjaya Times Square. Use the left side of cashier counter to go inside. The Korean food stall is the second stall on your right.

Picture credit: KWave Store

안녕하세요.

King 2Hearts's story line is becoming predictable starting this week episode, so I take a break for a while and update this blog. Just a quick update.

Fast Update: KPOP Celebrity's Height Issue

I think from the last 2 weeks I've been visited KPOP news site like Soompi.com, Allkpop and DKPOPNews. But somehow this issue caught my attention.

I wonder why height is so important in Korea entertainment industry?

I mean, they meticulously count the exact height and cannot left out even 0.1cm!

O.O

No matter what they still can be consider taller than ME! XD
