I think for most of these you can only use one language so you’ll have to switch over to korean but if you use google assistant it can be bilingual so you can add korean on top of english or your native language! (find it in the google app under settings, google assistant, languages)

heres some commands you can use, theres also joke phrases they will respond to like 여자/남자 친구있어요?,  귀요미, 비트박스 해 줘, ect. so try some phrases and words out! 

Hello studyblrs! This is a little list of motivational tips that I’ve come up with in the past years. They works a lot for me, so I hope that they can be useful for you too. 

1. Clean your desk and keep it tidy // If you are obsessive and perfectionist like me, you are going to need a cleaned and tidy work-space. Chaos and mess don’t sit with the proper mindset for studying well. 

2. Read motivational quotes // When you feel a lack of motivation, just go search for some quotes here on Tumblr or Pinterest. Reading them will give you the proper sprint you are searching for and will get you off to a great start.

3. Create short-term goals // Thinking big doesn’t works so much when it comes to study. Of course you need to be ambitious, but if you are searching for motivation to study then a long-term goal won’t be enough. So, if you need to study - for example - a 200 pages chapter for the next week, then set-up little daily tasks, like 20 pages per day. Scaling down your tasks will make them look more achievable and you’ll be more motivated in getting things done!

4. Make a to-do list // This point is closely linked to the previous: creating a to-do list will help you to organize your entire work and achieve your daily tasks. In order to do this, you can use the bullet journal system or a weekly/daily printable planner (you can find a lot of planners on Pinterest, but anyway I’ll talk soon about them in another post).

5. Make a progress report // Tracking your progress will help you to lay the whole things out; seeing how much you have done so far will keep you motivated and it’ll help you control your stress’ levels.

6. Study everyday // If you wanna keep your study motivation up you can’t study just one/two days per week. Instead, try to take just a couple of hours per day to study; in this way study won’t be seemed like a monster to defeat, but it’ll become part of your daily routine and you will be more motivated in keep studying.

7. Get an appropriate daily routine // Set-up an healthy daily routine will help you to study more and with more motivation instead than procrastinating your work. This means to sleep well (at least 8 hours per night) and in the proper time (so don’t go to bed late in the night and don’t wake up late in the morning, because your body will suffer of this), eat a good and energetic breakfast. But most of all, take time for yourself: good motivation will come along a positive mindset and an healthy body. So don’t stress yourself out studying but try to dedicate some time for your own pleasures; it can be working out in the morning, or watching some episodes of you favorite tv show, or taking a warm and relaxing bath… Basically, whatever you need to feel comfortable, energetic and ready to get things done!

8. Remember to take some breaks // In order to get the best from a study session and keep your motivation up, you need to take some breaks. I found out that the pomodoro technique is very usefull, because it keeps me focused on what I’m doing. According to this tecnique you have to study for 25 minutes and then take a break of 5 minutes, during which you can just relax. Check your phone, check your mails, take another coffee… whatever you want. But just for 5 minutes, not less, not more. In this way, you will imprint in your memory what you have done in the last 25 minutes and at the same time you are ready to go for another 25 min session of hard study. 

9. Get some rewards for when you finish // Always and I say, always set-up a reward for having finished your activities. It could be the last episode of your favorite tv show, hanging out with friends, romantic dinner with boyfriend… anything to stimulate you motivation and productivity. 

10. Don’t compare yourself to others // Last but not least (actually, I think this is the most important point), never compare yourself to people around you. Some people might take just a day to study what other people study in three days, but faster doesn’t mean smarter! Everyone has his own methods and his own techniques and skills. What work for other people might not work for you, as well as what work for you might not work for other people. That’s why you need to focus only on your abilities and tasks if you wanna be productive.

Hi guys~ I have another picture for today. Thank you @shanharifanart for this question on an earlier post: “Would you be so kind to explain the following grammar 는 척하다. (I saw it in a sentence 실제론 모르는데 머리가 아는 척함.)”

And yes, I would be happy to talk about this! This is a really common grammar point and can be used in so many situations.

ㄴ/은/는 척하다 is used to describe someone pretending to do something or to act like they are doing/did something. 

Let’s translate the picture first.

어…나 괜찮아… Yeah…I’m okay…

울고 싶다 ㅠㅠ I wanna cry *tears*

#괜찮은 척 #pretending to be okay

Most of you have probably been in this situation. People pretend to be okay all the time. So, let’s look at this grammar in the “present tense” first (adjective + 은척 하다 / verb + 는 척하다).

그 선배는 항상 나를 아는 척해서 짜증나요. It’s annoying that that upperclassman always acts like he knows me.

언니! 아픈 척하지 마! 우리 가야 돼. Sister! Don’t act like(pretend) you’re sick. We have to go.

왜 모르는 척했어요? Why did you pretend(act like) you don’t know.

남자 친구랑 싸울 때마다 괜찮은 척해요. Every time I fight with my boyfriend, I pretend I’m okay.

This grammar point can also be used in the past. (verb ending in a vowel + ㄴ 척하다 e.g. 하다 -> 한 척하다 // verb ending in a consonant + 은 척하다 e.g. 먹다 -> 먹은 척하다)

내가 제일 좋아하는 셔츠를 왜 입은 척했어? 안 입었잖아. Why did you act like you wore my favorite shirt? You didn’t.

그 아이는 케이크를 안 먹은 척했어요. That child pretended he didn’t eat the cake.

걔가 나를 좋아한 척했어. He pretended to like me.

There are also two common phrases that don’t translate well in my opinion.

아는 척 - to act like you know someone (or something –but the “something” part is straightforward.)

A lot of people say 나를 아는 척해서 짜증나. It’s annoying that he acted(acts) like he knows me. 

It can be used a few different ways, but one of them was confusing at first. 그 선배가 나를 아는 척했어요. (That upperclassman “pretended” he knows me.) When I first saw this, it sounded like an upperclassman came up and pretended to know the person. So, I was a bit confused, but it’s actually like saying “It’s annoying that he acts like we are close when we aren’t.” And I agree, this is super annoying behavior. Like when someone you don’t know very well is too touchy or nosy or overly friendly even though you aren’t close, and you feel uncomfortable or annoyed. That’s a good place to use 아는 척.

There is also “앞으로 날 아는 척하지 마.” From here on out, don’t act like you know me. This is actually used when you don’t want to talk to someone ever again or want to end a relationship. 

잘나다 +ㄴ 척 is always used in the past tense. 

그는 잘난 척해서 짜증나. It’s annoying that he acts like he is better than us. 

The second definition of 잘나다 is defined this way in Naver’s dictionary:

2. 능력이 남보다 앞서다. (To be better at something than others)

그는 지나치게 잘나서 부러워요. He’s so ridiculously good at it that I’m jealous.

But, this word is commonly used in a negative way. It’s often seen as 잘난 척 which can be interpreted as acting better than others/pretending you’re better than others/showing off.

It can be used jokingly. 

에이~ 여자 앞에서 잘난 척하지 마. Eyy don’t show off in front of the girls.

Or it can be used seriously. 

쟤 왜 저렇게 잘난 척해. 점수도 그렇게 높지 않아. Why does he act like he’s so much better than us. His scores aren’t even that high. 

So going back to the original question “실제론(실제로는) 모르는데 머리가 아는척 함.” Without context, this is hard to translate because the context is pretty important with this grammar point. But, you could interpret it as “in actuality, he doesn’t really know, but is pretending to know” as the caption to something like a picture or meme. 

Anyway, I hope this helps! Leave a comment or send a message if you have any questions or if something was confusing.
