#practical korean

Learned -(으)니까 today. It's a special occasion because so far everything in Practical Korean 1 has been a revision for me. Feels great learning something new 🎉

Felt a bit less great when I realized it had the exact same meaning as -(아/어)서 and had to go hunt for distinction in other resources because this book didn't explain.

I'm going to go through the average conversation I have at a cafe here in Korea. Refer to Cafe Drink Vocabulary to say more specific drinks~

This week I was mostly interested in sweety names and cute expressions for my husband who is coming to visit me in October 💕

What I learned so far: 

- honey / baby = 자기 (”dschagi”)

- beauty (a guy can call a girl “beauty”) = 예쁜이 (”jobbuni”)

- i love you = 서랑 해 (”sarang hee”)
