이 명 원: 텐데, 테니까, 테면....(터이다 --> 테다):

myeongweon:

For quite some time now, I have been curious as to those forms that I hear at the end of sentences or phrases 텐데, 테니까, 테면…and I could never find the base form. I later googled it and realized that it is a contraction (테다) of 터이다.

터 in the dictionary means a plan; a schedule; an expectation;…

Yesterday I thought of studying but I didn’t know where to start and I…

"Why do you remember your own name? Because your mother sat you down one day and said it to you a..."

Wed, 08 Aug 2012 00:56:56 -0400

“

Why do you remember your own name? Because your mother sat you down one day and said it to you a thousand times until it had been indelibly etched into your little toddler memory? Because your name is special and powerful and beautiful and unique? No, and, no.

You have heard, read, written and said your name many times, not all at once but spread out over time. That’s the key to remembering something. Not cramming–not concentrating repetitions, but spacing them. Basically, if you hear or read something at the right spacing over time, you will remember it better and better. And the cool thing is that this spacing grows over a time. After a while, this space of time can grow so long as to go beyond the duration of your natural life. Put simply, even if you stopped writing, saying and hearing your own name today, and didn’t hear it again until the day before you died, you would probably still remember it.

Memorizing 100 words..

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 01:52:28 -0400

prettykoreanjourney:

Just think of it like this.

100 words = 10-10 word long word lists.

Confusing? LOL

100 words = doing 10 word lists that are 10 words long.

Cut 100 words down to 10 lists.

Memorize 10 word lists, with 10 words in each list and BAM 100 words.

I know…I’m crazy.
