Introduction

Annyeong haseyo~

(Hello~)

Okay, I'm going to explain how this site (blog) works..

This site is mainly for people who want to learn Korean..

But I'm introducing on how to learn Korean in a different way..

The question is, how?

Look, I know most of you guys out there who want to learn Korean are K-Pop lovers, so I found a way to learn Korean vocab... By learning them from the lyrics!!

I found that this way is quite effective in adding your vocab, because:

1. It's from a song that you listen to over and over, so it sticks to your brain more easily

2. If the word was used in a song, then it means the word is commonly used, and so, the words that you learn are more useful

3. You can learn the spelling from the words, too ^^

So, I'm going to grab some lyrics (Hangul, Romanization, Translation) from the other sites (Don't worry, I won't forget to credit ^^), and I'm going to put in the vocabulary list right next to it. Simple, right?

Now, I'm not just going to put in all of the K-Pop songs, but rather, the ones that I like, and the ones that are popular..

Although I like FT Island, Wonder Girls, 2NE1, Big Bang, and 2PM (PLUS Jaebeom oppa!!), I'm going to choose the stars from the number one entertainment company in Korea, SM Entertainment.

Also, SM has a lot of stars, so I'm going to choose the ones that are at peak right now, which are TVXQ, Super Junior, SHINee, SNSD, f(x), and songs that the whole SM Town sing together.

This is an example of what I'll do.. This is SNSD's Genie Chorus..

I'll pretty much be doing this for all the songs, so please be patient with me, cause it's not as easy as it looks >_<

Trust me, color coding can be extremely annoying sometimes..

Oh, finally, I take requests. As long as the songs are sung by the stars I pointed out (officially), I'll do my best to put it in this site (blog)..

Okay then, annyeong (bye)!!

I look forward to your participation ^^
