As an absolute beginner, my current chosen Reading Materials are Korean children stories and songs. I am not going to attempt the "1st Shop of Coffee Prince" the novel just yet. Even the children's ones are too much for me at the present (since I am only six days into my study), but that's where my new Korean dictionary comes in.
I am planning to make a post of each song and story that I read.
My very first song choice is the "Three Bears" song that was featured in the K-drama "Full House". The video is so very cute ^ ^.
| 곰 세 마리가 한집에 있어 | Three bears in one house |
| kom se ma-ri-ga han-ji-bae-i-sseo | |
| 아빠곰 엄마곰 애기곰 | Daddy bear mummy bear baby bear |
| a-ppa-gom eom-ma-gom ae-gi-gom | |
| 아빠곰은 뚱뚱해 | Daddy bear is chubby |
| a-ppa-gom-eun ttung-ttung-hae | |
| 엄마곰은 날씬해 | Mummy bear is slim |
| eom-ma-gom-eun nal-ssin-hae | |
| 애기곰은 너무 귀여워 | Baby bear is so cute |
| ae-gi-gom-eun na-mu gwi-yeo-wo | |
| 히쭉히쭉 잘한다 | *Shrug**shrug* well done |
| hi-jjuk-hi-jjuk chal-han-da | |
