I just finished TTMIK book 5, and now I want to revise what I've learned. I have used the workbook to practice after each lesson, but the grammar doesn't quite stick. I know it takes lots of practice and time, but I don't know how to practice it in an effective and proper way. Some of the grammar in the earlier books also doesn't stick. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi there!

I am completing my master's degree in Higher Education Administration. In this context, "higher education" refers to college and university students, not high school students. Coursework ranges from "diversity in higher education" to "history of higher education." It teaches you how to work in administrative positions to support college students, basically.

What would I call my degree in Korean if I were to introduce myself to people? I don't know if there is a Korean equivalent to my degree, and when I tried for a direct translation via papago, it gives me "고등 교육 행정 석사 학위", but 고등 refers to high school, right? Would I just change it to 대학 or is there a completely different title for what I'm studying?

Thank you!

Can some folks weigh in on a translation? If I place a QR code on an English panel to go to a Korean webpage with a translation of the museum graphic panel, which of these is correct/preferred?

한국어 means “Korean language”

한국인 means “Korean person"

When studying Korean, I saw many sources stating that the language doesn't have a stressed syllable. However, I'm left in doubt about how this works in practice. Even though Korean doesn't have a lexical accent (that changes the meaning of words), is there some syllable that is naturally pronounced more strongly, longer, or with a higher tone in a word or phrase?

Hello Everyone,

could you please translate what is written in Korean: 언제나 비추네

Thank you.

Supposedly 딴 is a colloquial contraction of 다른, but it's not just a contraction, it gained its own nuance in meaning. Did I get that right?

I tried to come up with some examples to be able to better understand this difference, and I would be grateful if you could check if I'm on the right track.

다른 사람 같아요. “You look like another person.” *just an observation*

딴 사람 같아요!! “You look like a totally different person!! *being a bit dramatic*

and

다른 사람 생겼어요? “Did you meet someone else?” *just a causal question*

딴 사람 생겼어요? — “Did you meet someone else?!” *suspicious, implies cheating*

and

다른 얘기 해요 “Let’s talk about something else.” *just a polite suggestion*

딴 얘기 하자 — “Let’s talk about something else.” *like, you're bored with the current topic*

That's all I could come up with. Are these correct? Did I manage to catch the nuance? Thank you.
