Gearing up for September already 😫

I have a dosage calc exam before school starts, and I can’t go to clinical if I don’t pass it (we can only get 1 question wrong). I got this book from Level Up RN to practice. Also learning some basic pharmacology to give me a head start for that.

Side note: I’m more active on Instagram now! I’m making content about chronic illness and being a disabled student. @thelupusnurse

Hangul Lesson 4: Some 받침 Rules

여러분 안녕! Hi again everyone! I got a request recently to do a lesson about 받침 rules, so here it is! For those who don’t know, 받침 refers to the ending consonants of a Korean syllable. I recommend that if you aren’t familiar with Hangul, that you check out my other Hangul lessons on my masterlist first before reading this one! 

I made these charts because there are quite a few rules and irregularities about 받침. I also made a couple about consonant assimilation, which is basically how two or more consonants blend together/change to make a new sound. My lists are not exhaustive, but I think I included the most common rules. 

Also! I recommend that if you want a more complete list that you check out Korean Wiki Project’s page about this! You’ll also notice that a lot of the examples I used are the same as the ones that they used, so I want to give credit where credit is due! I tried to include some common words that you might hear often, and it can also be difficult to think up of irregularities sometimes, so I just wanted to let you know why it seems like I copied and pasted a lot of the examples and I don’t wanna plagiarize lol. PLEASE go check their page out – it’s super helpful!

If you’re overwhelmed by these lists and a little worried about memorizing them, don’t worry about it :) Honestly, depending on how you learn best it might be most productive to just learn as you go and to listen closely to how native Koreans speak so you can pick up on those rules rather than forcing yourself to memorize them. That said, if you want clarification on how exactly things are pronounced, I hope these charts along with Korean Wiki’s website can help!

some personal goals for everyone to try!! below are some thoughts to remember (that i came up w at 4am bc i was sad lol):

• the future should be all about positive thinking and mindsets. destroy your negative thoughts, stay focused, and remember to take care of yourself.

• remember that no one is perfect and that your mistakes will make you stronger.

• take out negative people, thoughts, things, anything bad from your life and watch how you improve. it won’t happen overnight, but time is on your side.

to the anon struggling with the kanji memrise course, there is also some just in kana, such as course 29267 which is for Genki 1 or 258569 which is N5 grammar for beginners. (I can't link the courses in an ask, but you can put 'course/258569' in the memrise URL, hope this helps ^^

for the anon ^

thanks for the tip 💖

I want to try learning Kanji and I think I want to try it your way w having a kanji and the list of vocabulary the kanji it is in. Was it a teacher or yourself that made those lists?

I made the lists! I made them based off of the jouyou kanji break down (this list is all over the internet). So I’m learning grade-by-grade, and just learning common vocabulary attached to those particular kanji. It’s possibly a more grueling process, but it’s helping me.

I also use WaniKani, which uses a slightly similar system of learning kanji in vocabulary. They do teach readings first, however.

You need motivation to study? Let me introduce you to spiteful studying. When you study a subject to prove someone wrong. When you spend hours writing up notes so that you can get that grade and smile smugly at the teacher who predicted you a lower grade. Find someone to prove wrong, it can be a teacher, a parent, friend or just to prove society that you’re so much more capable then they say you are!

Trust me, it works.
