@kjaemyk I do not discriminate numbers. It would be unprofessional hahaha
But I do like getting numbers that are divisible by more than one other number because that usually means I got the answer to a math problem right lol
@hangukdrama Oh I've given up on that one. It was sent via airmail; seller isn't even attempting to resend it.
Luckily that was just a cheap booklet, not a textbook.
But now I'm considering EMS for textbooks and that's a bit of a bigger gamble so I wondered if parcels've started leaving Korea
@LanguageLCloud Technically a mobile version, but yeah, the webpage in a browser. It always works perfectly for me so I never bothered installing the app, having to learn new layout, and burdening my phone's memory.
But if you like the app then great. The most important is to enjoy studying! 👍
I'm so excited because I learned some new #Korean grammar today instead of just revising old stuff 🎉

(the textbook is Practical Korean 1)

@Makka_luv_bunz It is like possessive 's in English. "Mark's book". "s" is a possessive suffix bcs it indicates possession. 마크의 means "Mark's."
But for words like 거의 "almost," it's not a suffix, it's just how the word is spelled.
So 마크의 is pronounced [마크에], 거의 is pronounced [거이]
There are very simple rules! If I remember correctly, it is pronounced as:
1. [ㅢ] at the beginning of the word, like 의자 and 의사
2. [ㅣ] everywhere else in the word, like 거의 [거이] and 희망 [히망]
3. [ㅔ] only if 의 is used as possessive suffix, like 학생의 책 [학생에 책]
@MissMusain I would love to chat too. In Korean, or about Korean.
No worries, I am a beginner too and couldn't put together a correct sentence if my life depended on it ☺
@MissMusain Thank you for the info. I am not able to use any digital audio or video resources because they give me seizures, so it's just me and the textbooks. Luckily, I love textbooks :) My listening and speaking skills are non-existant, though 😫
@MissMusain I don't have a choice, but I actually prefer it this way. No time wasted getting dressed, getting ready, commuting, waiting for the class to start, etc. It seems much more efficient.
Although I do regret not meeting other Korean learners. ☹
@_lunabow I think more than 2 months.
I don't think situation will get any better for me until I have the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine flowing through my veins :)
