Maybe there is much we could learn from each other; I also am just beginning. You might try this site as a good reference: Korean Verb Guide |

안녕하세요!
이졔 여름 방학는 있습니다!
(Summer vacation is here!)
I didn't make tremendous progress (just learning a few random words here and there) because I was studying for finals 
So I got a copy of the textbook "College Korean" and I'm making me way through that book now; I'll also try to do some supplementary reading.
Hmmm... I tried but it was tough... But I think I'll try to translate some Korean song lyrics later because they probably contain many common words.
고맙습니다 for any feedback! |
Hey, Captain!
I thought you have gone with the wind!
I am so glad that you are done with the final and finally free for some time.
이졔now 여름 방학 summer vacation 있니다 is
있습니다 have or being present
Yes, reading books is the best way to learn Foreign language at the beginning, especially when self-studying.
After you build up your vocabulary and ability to understand what you read, you be able to say or hear what you have learned.
Keep trying! |

너는 닌자 입니까? 당신은 닌자 입니까? (being polite) or 너는 닌자냐? not polite but casual talk between the same age or to younger.
Respect in word or deed is a big thing in Korean tradition. |

i seldom use 나는 nowadays because i remember 3 months ago while buying a pants i bumped a korean and started to talk
he immediately told me that dont use 나는 were not acquainted.
hopefully our new members will learn how, when to use 나는 and 저는 appropriately.

잡습니다 ; 잡 다 can mean catch, hold, arrest, or slaughter, kill.
If you are a policeman, you arrest people, thus, you can say, 사람을 잡습니다.
If you are 선 무 당, you slaughter instead of healing people, the original intention gone wrong due to the incomplete knowledge or experience;
선무당이 사람을 잡습니다.
If you are 나쁜 닌자, you double-ass-innate people because that is what 나쁜 닌자 is all about.
Catch a riddle.
However, we don't say, 'catch', but 'search'; search for a riddle, that is what makes our English or your Korean a riddle.
In this case, we say,찻 아 봐 , not '잡 아 봐'.
You must be a bad 닌자, because you catch words and use them wrong, which surely can slaughter people who can be misled by your wrong choice words.
You are not alone in doing such a 닌자 thing.
We all from time to time do slaughter other people, with words chosen wrong or wrong interpretations, called, 'misleading or misunderstanding".
문장이 sentence 진실(이) truth 아닙니다 not+is, meaning sentence is not true.
Yours or mine?
Or, you do you mean to say, 'I didn't mean that', or, 'just kidding'?
Words mean things.
Yet, meaning is one thing and subjective interpretation is another, really.
You might have said 'A', but others could get 'B' instead.
Translate this.

안녕하세요!
Just dropping by to show the people that were helping me (esp. y2so) that I haven't vanished from the face of learn-korean.net. 
저는 교과서을 읽습니다. 한국어가 어렵습니 거니와 재미입니다.
Perhaps it doesn't matter so much in simple sentences, but what is(are) the primary difference(s) between the subject marker (이/가) and the topic marker (은/는)?
감사합니다!

captainalan씨, 안녕하세요? 오랜만이에요! 잘 있었어요?
As for 는 and 이/가, 는 is the topic marking particle and 이/가 are the subject marking particles. Before learning Korean, I didn't really understand the difference between topic and subject either; I'll try to explain.
When talking about how your day, or how things have been for you you use yourself as the topic because you're talking about yourself. The subject may change "My day has been difficult" or "Work is stressful" but you're still talking about yourself. 이/가 are used more to donate what performs an action, while 는 affects the direction of a conversation more by setting the topic.
I hope this helps a little.
