Time for more grammar! In the past I covered -게 되다, which one can use to show that someone or something ended up doing something, or ended up in a certain state. This time, we’ll take a look at -게 하다, which is used when someone or something makes someone or something do something or take on a certain state. Let’s check out some examples and see how it works.

Hi there! I’m Marlay. I’ve been loitering around the Studyblr community for a while now. And since, it’s my birthday month, I decided to finally make one!

Facts about me

I’m an August baby.

Born and raised in the Philippines.

An ISFP-T.

I’m currently in my 4th year of college, taking up a Business program.

I’m fluent in both Filipino and English.

Self-studying Korean.

My Interests

I love everything and anything Korean. 

I used to read a lot when I was still in high school. But then, college happened. Now, I’m trying to read more. Please feel free to give me recommendations! :) 

I’m into photography and videography. I’m a memories-hoarder.

I can’t live without music. I listen to anything - from classical to Christian music to Kpop. 

I love food a lot. I’m not really good at cooking tho.

Why did I make a Studyblr?

I’ve been a consistent straight A student for as long as I can remember. Last semester, I lost my place in the Dean’s Honor Roll (in my college, it’s a list of students who are performing in their acads excellently) and that broke me. I’m currently in the healing process. And I want to channel all the pain, disappointments, anger – basically, every negative thing I’ve felt and gone through into something productive and worthwhile.

I want to help other students like me. I want to motivate and connect with them. 

Also, through this Studyblr, I hope to develop better study habits, learn more, and grow as a better person.

What would be my contents?

Positivity and motivation!

Self-care tips~

Study tips~

My life as a student, a friend, and a family!

Studyblrs (and motivational Tumblrs) that inspire me and help me a lot

Hello everybody!

I’ve finally made a blog! I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, ever since I found the langblr and studyblr communities.

The goal if this account is to keep track of my progess in language learning and college. I’ve been looking foreward to having more time to dedicate to this.

You can call me Lisa, if you’d like. I am 17 (turning 18 soon), Somali. I live in Canada. I’m going to college in September where I’ll be stuyding fashion design.

Intrests are

reading, books are great, stories are great

watching movies and shows (I’m really into variety shows these days)

baking, it is both therapeutic and stressful

photography, I’m working on editing things for now

designing

history, really love history (I love learning in general but historyyy). I’ve got an obsession with roman history. I’m trying to learn more about asian and african history in general

when things are busy yet you have time to just looking up at the sky and drink a cup of tea

Time for the fun part LANGUAGES

My target languages are Italian, Korean and Mandarin.

There are a bunch of other languages I would love to learn. Albanian, khmer, thai, japanese, french, sawhili, persian, arabic, indonesian, mongolian and a bunch more

I’ll be using #language-ing to keep track of my progress
