First to learn Korean won't need to translate/summery (since the company don't like translations) the next five chapters for the fandom : p? starting in 4-5 weeks though. until having mastered the lessons on that page?

 

By the way Korean doesn't seem that hard some of you are making it sound... a language is mostly just a question about memorization ? so first use a few weeks to learn pronunciation and grammar and then speed up your reading speed, afterwards just memorize words. ain't flawless or pretty at the end but you should be able to read and understand in not too long. and Hanja doesn't seem that over used and required to start, more of an advanced subject.

 

Meh, wish I could just go and say, wait a half year and see results. But I'm not sure I really will have that much time xD. And well if it turns out as hard as you described I would have found my new hobby : D (new plan learning Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Icelandic and perhaps Latin and Ancient Greek? before I die... meh, probably not the last two/three, those languages are useless mostly)

 

Okay, to be honest you have to be a nerdy geek to enjoy it.... and presumably have high IQ (being fast at learning matters, to the enjoyment of learning) so I don't blame you for not enjoying learning new languages.

 omg yessssss!!!! this is what i need! i have summer now so i might be able to at least know some characters and meanings!! but dont get your hope up that i can summerise a part  i seriously suck at memorizing things :/ (thats why if i dont study for like 3 days straight, i'll most likely get an F on a test D":) also i may have to babysit a soon to be 3 year old girl ( ) 
so i'll at least know some characters by heart during these 2 months!!  
yesssss i agree! lets build a temple for goddess mizura  

i won't be able to type korean though so at that department im useless oh but i will most definitely translate it and try to make sense of it if you guys can kindly provide the text    

oh and guys!!!! do not use google translate anymore! this site is sooooooo much more accurate. dreamingflower showed me and goobera this wonderful site---->http://webtranslation.paralink.com/Korean-English-Translation/#

I'll try it next time, but it looks more inconvenient. :\ The thing I like about Google Translate is its real-time translation updates. I tend to break longer sentences into shorter ones to figure out what's going on, and Google Translate saves me the extra "push the button" step.

 

Also, Google translate doesn't scrunch up all the output into a single line. xP This means that with that other translator, instead of just pressing "enter" to separate the sentences into smaller parts (with, as I said, automatic translation updates), I have to paste smaller bits of sentences one by one.

Ohhh i see. I know guays the one thing i dont like about it. Always not leaving the original space :\ eh it World for me thoufh

[Mizura]

Ah yes, and that aside, I am So going to read through the lessons here:

http://www.howtostudykorean.com/

 

I like how they're organized so far. It's kind of funny, at first I was like "meh" for learning the vocabulary (since I can just use google translate for the non-grammar parts), but then I recognized the word 도시 (city) in the latest raws. So, vocabulary it is. Just a bit. xD

I wonder if we should just share sites here for learning korean?

 

First if anyone needs to learn to type korean on a western keyboard, and already know the western keyboard enough to not need the signs (for each letter). You can just use these websites in order. You should learn how to type korean without stickers in the same time it would take to buy them. (I'm sorry. I seemingly can't find the one I initially used, to learn which letters were at each place quickly... But these should still help)

 

For how to actually make it so you can type korean on a western keyboard

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100929210031AArIl5d ok so I didn't actually use this. But if needed it is there

 

This game seems boring in comparison to the other. I used this, cause well I didn't know of the other one. But I rather liked it.

Seemingly more fun

Also many are talking about ''Talk to me in korean'' on the web TTMIK. (I'm not using them atm, but whatever xD still thought I would mention them)

You can use Google Translate to type Korean. You need to choose input language as Korean and click the keyboard image at the left down corner. You can type Korean from your keyboard and also see Korean keyboard on the screen. And if you are not familiar with using Korean keyboard, you can click on keyboard letters on the screen to write. I use it to write Korean text.

 

Maybe google translate is not a bad thing as we thought to be xD

Btw, nice idea^^

[Readingfish]

Here's a (/another) tip for typing Korean on a computer that might not have the Korean language installed:

 

1. Go to  

     se.naver.com

(My guess is "SE" stands for something along the lines of "Simple Edition", but I don't see them explaining the acronym anywhere..)

 

2. The green button to the right side of the search bar in the center is the "Search" button.  See the few Korean words to the right of that green button? Click on the little arrow (or that text).

 

3. Success! Now, you can type in Korean into the search bar.

 

Obviously, this is inconvenient compared to actually having Korean on your computer. But if you need something really quick on a public computer, it's relatively straight forward.

 

(Also, when the keyboard layover appears, there are 2 options at the top: "type by keyboard (default)" and "type by mouse". )

[Chris Rosenkreutz]

If you are still learning Hangul and want to type in Korean on Windows, I found it best to be able to type the romanised equivalents, rather than use the keyboard a Korean wold use.

 

You can do this using the Nalgaeset IME (currently found at http://moogi.new21.org/prg4.html) but it takes a little setting up as it defaults to the same Korean keyboard as everything else.

I am a Korean who speaks both Korean/English, I might be able to help you guys. - Though doing quick translation for Kubera might be not possible since I am already oversleeping at mondays for Tower of God quick translation..

[Mizura]

Thank you very much! By any chance, could you point out whenever you notice I've made mistakes when trying to figure out either the webtoon or something else? You don't have to specifically check out anything, just point out something if you happen to notice that I've said something wrong. For example, if I say "Currygom just said on me2day that he's a guy", you could say "lol no, she said the contrary" (if you happen to be reading the me2day too). Small things like that, only if you happen to come across them.

Ok, then. That should be easy, since your translations are very good. ^^

Yay! Thank you so much for the help! <3 <3 <3

I won't be able to do the summary on Monday 28th of October because I'll be on a work trip.

 

I'll be back the week after that. Take care!
