Look, I knew five languages by age 19 and now I am learning like 3 more. I work as a language instructor and a consultant. If I can give language learners only one advice, this is it.
STOP LEARNING WORDS ON THEIR OWN.
You're doing yourself a disservice by learning lists of "30 words you must know!" "100 most common words!" like it literally means nothing if you cannot use those words in an appropriate context with proper grammar. So what you actually need to do is learn those words via example sentences.
Of course, sentences have more words so you may think you're learning less but you're actually learning the way to use it in context. That's what's important.
Language is about communication, which also means if you want to learn languages, you have to observe how people communicate with each other universally. Native speakers never have a list of words they know and they don't count every single new word they've learned. So why are you doing it to yourself? What native speakers do is listen to the new word, remember the context they're spoken in, and keep using that word in that context. And that's why people go "wait, you can use that word LIKE THAT?" all the time. So you, a language learner, are also allowed to do that. I'm not even saying those word lists are useless but they're the most useful AFTER you've known most of them and are trying to go over them for practice etc. Native speakers do click on those word lists to check out how many words they don't know or to remind themselves of those words or to learn some facts about each word. That should be your goal as well.
Learn sentences. Learn them in context. Do not fall into the "I must know xx amount of words or I'm a failure at language learning" trap perpetuated by bloggers or youtubers or whatever. Have fun with it!

*In English, we wouldnβt say "it becomes quiet" in this sense. We would say something like "it is becoming quiet" or "it has become quiet (just now)." Really, the present tense direct English translation is a bit off. When in doubt, it is usually the past tense that makes the most sense if you are trying to talk about a change.
Past (Change is completed)
λ°λ€ β λ°μμ‘μ΄μ = became bright
λ§λ€ --> λ§μμ‘μ΄μ = increased
Future
μμλ€ --> μλ»μ§ κ±°μμ = will become pretty
λΆλλ½λ€ β λΆλλ¬μμ§ κ±°μμ = will become soft
Progressive
κ°νλ€ β κ°ν΄μ§κ³ μμ΄μ = is becoming strong
λ§μμ§κ³ μμ΄μ = is increasing
Intention / plan
μλ»μ§λ €κ³ ν΄μ = trying to become prettier
λΉ λ₯΄λ€ β λΉ¨λΌμ§λ €κ³ ν΄μ = trying to become fast
Probable / guess / "I think..."
μλ»μ§ κ² κ°μμ = It seems like sheβll become prettier
λ§μμ§ κ² κ°μμ = It seems like it will increase
Desire
μλ»μ§κ³ μΆμ΄μ = I want to become pretty
νΈν΄μ§κ³ μΆμ΄μ = I want to become comfortable (FYI λ§λ€ is a bit odd in this form, that is why this is a different verb)
κΈΈμ΄ λ§νμ λλ‘κ° λ³΅μ‘ν΄μ‘μ΄μ.
Because of traffic, the road became crowded.
νλμ΄ μ΄λμμ§κ³ μμ΄μ.
The sky is getting dark.
μμ¦ νκ΅μ΄κ° μ‘°κΈ μ¬μμ‘μ΄μ.
These days, Korean has become a little easier.
μΉκ΅¬λ€μ΄ λ μΉμ ν΄μ‘μ΄μ.
My friends became kinder.
*Sometimes ~μ§λ€ is added to active verbs to make them passive, but that is a different grammar point. π

Okay, so looking at this, I can tell that Juseok won by one point. But what the fuck is this tally system? Are these numbers? Each one looks to be about five strokes---but do they represent five votes?

I've already finished the semester and now I'm making a short course about korean contents and translation (shootout to my uni that got the course for free) so I'll be clearing my head from studying the same and getting into new perspectives<3
I'm staying at my girlfriend's house for the weekend so I got a study buddy
