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!

~์ง๋ค is added to adjective verbs to mean something became this way.
It is the difference between (1) the weather is nice and (2) the weather became nice.
It attaches to adjectives, not action verbs.
Conjugate the verb to the ์ form, remove ์, and add ~์ง๋ค. Any tense or form changes need to be made to ~์ง๋ค only.
์:
์ฌ๋ฏธ์๋ค โ ์ฌ๋ฏธ์ ์ด์ง๋ค โ โto become funโ
์ถฅ๋ค โ ์ถ ์์ง๋ค โ โto become coldโ
ํธํ๋ค โ ํธํด์ง๋ค โ โto become comfortableโ
Various tense/form examples (not comprehensive):
Present (change in progress or a change happening now)
๋ฐ๋ปํ๋ค โ ๋ฐ๋ปํด์ ธ์ = becomes warm
์กฐ์ฉํ๋ค โ ์กฐ์ฉํด์ ธ์ = becomes quiet
*In English, we wouldnโt 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)
๋ฐ๋ค โ ๋ฐ์์ก์ด์ = became bright
๋ง๋ค --> ๋ง์์ก์ด์ = increased
Future
์์๋ค --> ์๋ป์ง ๊ฑฐ์์ = will become pretty
๋ถ๋๋ฝ๋ค โ ๋ถ๋๋ฌ์์ง ๊ฑฐ์์ = will become soft
Progressive
๊ฐํ๋ค โ ๊ฐํด์ง๊ณ ์์ด์ = is becoming strong
๋ง์์ง๊ณ ์์ด์ = is increasing
Intention / plan
์๋ป์ง๋ ค๊ณ ํด์ = trying to become prettier
๋น ๋ฅด๋ค โ ๋นจ๋ผ์ง๋ ค๊ณ ํด์ = trying to become fast
Probable / guess / "I think..."
์๋ป์ง ๊ฒ ๊ฐ์์ = It seems like sheโll become prettier
๋ง์์ง ๊ฒ ๊ฐ์์ = It seems like it will increase
Desire
์๋ป์ง๊ณ ์ถ์ด์ = I want to become pretty
ํธํด์ง๊ณ ์ถ์ด์ = I want to become comfortable (FYI ๋ง๋ค is a bit odd in this form, that is why this is a different verb)
๋ฐฉ์ด ์กฐ์ฉํด์ ธ์.
The room is becoming quiet.
๊ธธ์ด ๋งํ์ ๋๋ก๊ฐ ๋ณต์กํด์ก์ด์.
Because of traffic, the road became crowded.
ํ๋์ด ์ด๋์์ง๊ณ ์์ด์.
The sky is getting dark.
์์ฆ ํ๊ตญ์ด๊ฐ ์กฐ๊ธ ์ฌ์์ก์ด์.
These days, Korean has become a little easier.
์น๊ตฌ๋ค์ด ๋ ์น์ ํด์ก์ด์.
My friends became kinder.
*Sometimes ~์ง๋ค is added to active verbs to make them passive, but that is a different grammar point. ๐ญ

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?
