Book Review: Special Date

Anyong! 

I love So Nyeo Shi Dae's comic book series! In fact, I got to know that elementary school girls love to read such comic books! Thought it would be great for me to read up and I took one of my host's daughter's book to read.

If you have some decent level of Korean language, you will really enjoy this comic series a lot! Every book is on different topics, ranging from fashion, to hair style, to food, and my favourite would be "Special Date". In Korean it's called 특별한 데이트 (teuk-byeol-han de-i-teu)

특별한 teuk-byeol-han: Special. It comes from the Chinese word 特别

데이트 de-i-teu: date (this is pretty much obvious)

Note that the "특 teuk" is same as Super Junior's 이특 Lee Teuk's "teuk"

Anyway back to the book! The Cover! Isn't it lovely? :)

For those who can read Korean, you will realised the conversation is actually quite simple! Trust me, you'll be able to enjoy this book a lot if your Korean level is intermediate, and you'll be able to learn a lot through reading as well! Well that's one of the ways I picked up Korean. Some snap shots:

Let me pick 2 phrase to share (it's based on the last 2 dialouges from the above picture):

1. 좋아하는 사람 (cho-a-ha-neun  sa-ram): Someone you like; 喜欢的人

좋아하는 cho-a-ha-neun : like

사람 sa-ram : person

So let's say if one day you want to show off some skills by saying "I have someone I like", just add 있어요 (is-sseo-yo: have/exist).

So the sentence will be: 좋아하는 사람 있어요 (cho-a-ha-neun sa-ram is-seo-yo)

2. 누군데? (nu-gun-de): Who is it??

Pretty easy right, these 2 phrases? ;)

Hope you learned a thing or 2!
