Hi my name is Raymond. It's nice to be given a chance to learn Korean. I love learning languages even though there are
many challenges I have to face.. It's nice to meet with my classmates and get along with them. It's been a great learning
opportunity for me to know all of you!

I started to write in Korean since the beginning of the semester. Through these exercises, I've honed my knowledge and
cultivated the habit of writing in Korean and the wya of thinking in Korean. However, there were no formal exercise since
a formal exercise could, from my perspective, make the learning process more boring. For example, I would write the
current time on a paper using Korean when I want to know the time. Another example is writing a short paragraph in
Korean, documenting what interesting things had happened everyday. In this way, I managed to find the difference
between a simple sentence and a complex one. A simple sentence consists of only one clause while a compound one
consists of two or more independent clauses. And when I try to write a long sentence (complex sentence) in Korean,
the example thought process of mine is:

I came to Korea to practice Korean and meet friends

breaks down into 3 sentences:

  1. I came to Korea (past)

  2. I practise Korean (future)

  3. I meet friends (future)

The three nouns in this sentence: Korea, Korean, friends

So I concluded that sentence 2 & 3 should fit somewhere between 오다 and 한국. I also read the sentence as "I came to Korea in order to practice Korean and meet friends". From my understanding, (으)러 can be used as it implies movement to go do something. I could also make one of the verbs 연습하다 or 만나다 into an adjective since they both are action verbs and I could use that to describe one of the nouns above.
