I Want To Cry But I Have Things To Do

2.06.2018: I think this is my first original post in months - quite much has happened during these weeks, not necessarily good things, as I had the flu and some other health complications for more than a month with longer lasting health issues and consequences in other parts of my life - including academics. Currently I’m luckily feeling better again in general and trying to somehow survive the last hell weeks of my second year until summer break. This week I already had a presentation, a statistics report submission and a deadline for a first draft of a research study, with another deadline until tomorrow. Next week sadly doesn’t look any better with essays and still some exams to go, but I somehow have to get through it, as I can’t allow myself to fuck up my health and uni stuff even more - the past months were totally enough for the next years. Hope you all have a good weekend, xx Amber 

what i did today:

• bio unit 1 (2 objectives)

• bio unit 2 (2 objectives)

• pure math chapter 2

• pure math chapter 9

It motivates me to know that it takes people to another world where they dont have have to face reality.

Je suis chez moi. Been staying home most days and only going out when I really need to.  I had brunch in bed, did my private tutoring lesson in the comfort of my room using video chat (thank you technology) and still in the progress of rearranging my room. I also painted my phone case with nail polish out of boredom… turned out nice tho.

today is a beautiful day. the roads are quieter than usual so I could hear the birds chirping from outside.

it’s only the second week of the semester and i already have so much work! here’s my current desk setup + environmental science notes. 

Is ㄹ pronounced as L or R?

This is probably one of the most common questions that beginners ask when learning 한글. Just like every beginner learners, I went through this as well which is why I decided to study pronunciation rules too. I created this post to help clear up any confusion.

When ㄹ is located at the beginning of a word, it sounds more like an R.

Example: 라디오 (ra-di-o), 레슨 (re-seun), 로맨틱 (ro-man-tik)

When ㄹ is located between two vowels, it sounds like an R.

Example: 다리 (da-ri), 사랑 (sa-rang), 어렵다 (eo-ryeob-dda), 모르다 (mo-reu-da), 노력 (no-ryeok), 매력 (mae-ryeok)

When ㄹ is located at the end of a word, it’s pronounced more like an L.

Example: 딸 (ddal), 아들 (a-deul), 월 (weol), 달 (dal), 칼 (khal), 연필 (yeon-pil), 교실 (gyo-sil)

When ㄹ is followed by a consonant or followed by another ㄹ, it sounds like L.

Example: 딸기 (ddal-gi), 힘들다 (him-deul-da), 몰라 (mol-la), 살자 (sal-ja), 고릴라 (go-ril-la)

When ㄹ comes after any consonant except ㄴ, ㄹ is pronounced as N.

Example: 생리 (saeng-ni), 국립 (gung-nip), 능력 (neung-nyeok)

When ㄹ comes before or after an ㄴ, both ㄹ and ㄴ are pronounced as ㄹ.

Example: 한류 (hal-lyu), 신라 (sil-la), 신랑 (sil-lang), 달나라 (dal-la-ra)

Disclaimer: Hope this helps but remember not to rely too much on romanizations and listen to the sounds properly as well.

This is a post that I shared on Amino app and I decided to post it here as well.
