— this comeback is sooo good! below are the korean parts of the lyrics of fake love! if you’re interested in the grammar and the vocabulary used in the song click “keep reading” 🌱 thanks for 100 followers! 

intro + pre-chorus + outro:

널 위해서라면 난 슬퍼도 기쁜 척 할 수가 있었어 널 위해서라면 난 아파도 강한 척 할 수가 있었어 사랑이 사랑만으로 완벽하길 내 모든 약점들은 다 숨겨지길 이뤄지지 않는 꿈속에서 피울 수 없는 꽃을 키웠어

verse 1:

세상을 줬네 전부 바꿨어 우리만의 숲 너는 없었어 내가 왔던 route 잊어버렸어 나도 내가 누구였는지도 잘 모르게 됐어 거울에다 지껄여봐 너는 대체 누구니

chorus:

널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내 날 지워 너의 인형이 되려 해

verse 2:

난 몰라 웃어봐 사랑해 말해봐 나를 봐 나조차도 버린 나 너조차 이해할 수 없는 나 낯설다 하네 니가 좋아하던 나로 변한 내가 아니라 하네 예전에 니가 잘 알고 있던 내가 아니긴 뭐가 아냐 난 눈 멀었어 사랑은 뭐가 사랑

bridge:

나도 날 나도 날 잘 모르겠어

Hello Anon! I have an answer.

The Korean language is a little weird this way. There is more to creating a sentence when you become more advanced from, “I like apples - 나는 사과를 좋아요.” which literally translates to ‘I apples like’. You are correct in stating that the syntax from Korean to English is different, but if you were to say “나는 좋아요 사과를.” it would be completely incorrect and quite weird. 

But! For quick reference, you can potentially say things like “I like eating apples.” which is “나는 사과 먹는 것을 좋아해요.”

I hope this helped and that it was easy to understand, if you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to message me! I will come out with Korean Sentence Structure soon, so stay tuned for that!

One of the most difficult things to understand is the difference between the particles ~는/은 and ~이/가. In the previous post, we learned that you should use ~이/가 on the object that a person “has” when using “있다”. Plus, there are more functions of ~이/가 that you should know about.

In my Korean Particles Pt.1 post, we learned that you should add ~는/은 to the subject of the sentence. To use an example using the grammar taught earlier in this Lesson, you could say:

고양이는 집 뒤에 있다 = The cat is behind the house (고양이는 집 뒤에 있어 / 고양이는 집 뒤에 있어요)

In this sentence, notice that the particle ~는/은 indicates that the “cat” is the subject.

However, the sentence above could also be written like this:

고양이가 집 뒤에 있다 = The cat is behind the house (고양이가 집 뒤에 있어 / 고양이가 집 뒤에 있어요)

The two sentences could have exactly the same meaning and feeling. I emphasize “could” because in some situations the meaning of the two sentences is exactly the same, but in other situations the meaning of two sentences can be subtly different.

The reason why they could be identical: 고양이는 집 뒤에 있다 = The cat is behind the house 고양이가 집 뒤에 있다 = The cat is behind the house

~이/가, like ~는/은, is added to the subject of the sentence. In some situations, there is no difference in meaning or feel between adding ~이/가 or ~는/은 to the subject.

The reason why they could be subtly different: ~는/은 has a role of indicating that something is being compared with something else. The noun that “~는/은” is added to is being compared. In this example:

고양이는 집 뒤에 있다 = The cat is behind the house

I hope you guys are ready, because I’m about to keep it real. You know the most frustrating thing in the world? When you’ve shed blood, sweat and tears into studying a language only to find that when you get in front of a native speaker, you have no idea what the hell is going on! This has happened to me on a number of occasions. My language learning app or program has led me into delulu land by making me think I was a certain level and achieved certain status through showing a big fat CONGRATULATIONS and a gold medal to indicate that my language level has improved so greatly. I was so confident. Then when someone tried speaking to me at a natural pace, the X-Files song would play and I would stare as if they were speaking an alien language and hieroglyphs where coming out of their mouth.

No matter where we are in our language study, this has happened to all of us at some point. Perhaps even multiple times. Perhaps even enough times for you to consider quitting whatever language you’re studying. Well, don’t quit because having trouble understanding native speakers is as common as sliced bread in the language learning community. Don’t quit- learn. Let me say that again. Don’t quit- learn. Are you not understanding because they’re going too fast, consume more natural paced media, are you not understanding because you don’t understand the words, learn more commonly used vocabulary.

This gap between our language study and actual native speakers highlights a huge issue. Our language study is not adequately teaching us how the language is actually spoken. If you are using a textbook like Berlin or even an online program like Rocket Language, you will find that there is a HUGE disconnect from your studies and the way the language is spoken. Even though Rocket Language is conversation based, 80 percent of the lessons is in English. This really isn’t that helpful to you as a language learner. And you should always be looking to minimize the amount of English you hear during your language learning. What that being said, here are the tips I have for improving your listening comprehension skills.
