Lost without translation
As some of you already know, I’m picking up some Korean as we go along, but my Korean vocabulary is somewhere around a four-year-old and my grammar probably… a two-year-old? Do they start talking at two?
So today we were having a nice sam gyup sal (BBQ pork belly) dinner at a friend’s place and naturally the three friends were talking in Korean and my translator couldn’t possibly do all the work while laughing herself, so the things I understood in their conversation sans translator goes something like this:
“…male…”
“…don’t have…”
“…female…”
“…have…”
“pork belly”
“really?”
“where?”
“interesting”
“crazy!”
“You wanna die?”
hahahaha u really understood so little meh??:( ok loh..:( thought i taught u a lot already..haiiya i think my singlish improving much faster leh
ur singlish is indeed very good yes. Wish I could speak a language with others you would be lost in. Unfair that you can understand no matter who I speak to around here.
“hahahaha u really understood so little meh??:( ok loh..:( thought i taught u a lot already..haiiya i think my singlish improving much faster leh ”
