  • korean pronunciation

    kinda sucks. i thought tones would suck w/ mandarin. NOPE.

    i can never get the sentence flow or the pronunciation right with a fair amount of words. learning how to speak japanese and chinese sounds like an awesome thing to do right now. but it would suck learning all those characters! at least i can read korean but i dunno if i'm saying it wrong or not whether i read the word or speak it! UGH.
    like when they say "sorry" / 마안해요.. (miah he yo) .. it sounds like a b!
    or when they say "who" / 누구 noogoo ... it sounds like a d!
    this is when they speak fast -______-. 
    IT'S. SO. FRUSTRATING. 
    it makes me hate spelling. i can't imagine learning english as a second language. it must me  f* pain in the ass!

    but.. i can't imagine learning thai or vietnamese or canto w/ their billions of tones. and i bet the dialects change their tones like w/ mandarin
