google drive of free korean language learning resources

hi everyone! because i put tutoring on hold while i am working full time but still want to provide help to those who want to start learning/want to practice their korean, i am continuously compiling material for free learning :)

example of scans:

example of grammar breakdowns:

i will be adding material over the coming weeks and continuously as i come across material! updates may be frequent or slow down at times.

note: resources are free, and they’re totally free to share and use! but please do not repost without credit, and because i buy these from my workplace with my own money and spend time scanning them and cleaning them up and organizing them, please consider tipping me as much as you’d like ♥️

here is the link to the drive! (sorry, can’t hyperlink on mobile currently)

enjoy, and thank you in advance! have fun and feel free to ask me any questions—i am a korean studies grad and was a tutor for the beginning korean classes at my university. i am happy to help however i can!

♥️ joey

advanced learner's toolbox: spanish

a lot of the resource lists that are out there are generally geared towards beginners, which makes sense. more advanced learners + native speakers have already used these resources and can vouch for them, whereas if you're an advanced learner you've probably already stumbled upon some of these already. that said, i figured i would compile my favorites here :)

and that's it! if you're already at this stage i'm assuming you know how to find interesting content (if not, let me know! i love finding media recommendations in spanish for people) <3

if you can read this rn learn american sign language

as a place to start i strongly recommend Dr. Bill Vicars’ free lessons on youtube and at lifeprint.com (which also has a huge ASL dictionary and lesson plans/outlines). there are also freelance ASL tutors online who can help personalize your learning experience and give you opportunities to observe and practice signing naturally, if you don’t already have Deaf friends/family

Gallaudet University, a university designed for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, offers a few online lessons for ASL! https://www.gallaudet.edu/asl-connect/asl-for-free

I also have used this website to practice fingerspelling, https://asl.ms/. You can select the speed, and though it’s designed to help your receptive skills in knowing what the spelling was, you can practice your own fingerspelling by signing along with it.

The ASL App is also pretty good, though you do have to pay for most of the lessons, beyond the basics.

A reminder that Irish survived as a ‘national’ language for more than two millennia only to be wiped out by two centuries of brutal dedication.

Rationally, I know it speaks to human resilience but it’s still fucked up how so many of us endured and survived conquests, invasions or downright genocide only to identify 100% with our enemies’ language, culture and religion a few generations down the line.

Spanish Grammar Resources

The lovely @studywithbyu​ came to looking for some help with Spanish grammar, so here is a little masterlist! (warning, not so little - long post ahead!) I highly suggest checking out both resources because they cover different things and one may provide the information in a better format for you.

Grammar with SpanishDict

A great resource with reliable translations and instruction! I go here instead of to Google Translate because I know it’s much more helpful and accurate. It also has forums for individual questions. 

Here is a list of all its lessons:

Adjectives

Adverbs

Articles

Conjunctions

Gender

Number

Prepositions

Pronouns

Pronunciation

Verbs

Spanish Grammar @ StudySpanish.com

Nine units full of very useful grammar! I plan to use this one myself for a bit of self-instruction before I go to Catalonia. My favorite part is it gives you flashcard ideas and has review.

Here are the units and their topics:

UNIT ONE

UNIT TWO

UNIT THREE

UNIT FOUR

UNIT FIVE

UNIT SIX

UNIT SEVEN

UNIT NINE

I hope this helps!

spanish paradise this post!

A traditional song that explains a beautiful love story. This song is traditional from all the coast of Catalonia and the region of la Garrotxa, and it’s believed to have been composed in the Middle Ages.

Blancaflor (literally “Whiteflower”, but in the song it’s the girl’s name), here sung by Maria del Mar Bonet. Below you have the lyrics in Catalan and each stanza translated to English.

Al mirador del castell, Blancaflor està asseguda. Amb una pinteta d'or sos cabells pentina i nua. Gira els ulls devers el cel, no veu estrella ninguna. Els gira devers la mar, i veu traspuntar a lluna.

In the castle’s balcony, Blancaflor is sitting. With a little golden comb, she combs and braids her hair. She turns her eyes towards the sky, and sees no star. She turns them towards the sea, and sees the Moon strating to rise.

Les veles veu arriar d'una nau qui n'és venguda. Mira devers el camí i veu molta gent que hi puja. Veu venir un cavaller qui va a cavall d'una mula. Sella i brilla ne són d'or i també les ferredures.

She sees the sails hauling down, in a ship which has just arrived. She looks to the path and sees many people get in it. She sees a knight coming, who travels on a mule. The bridle and reins are made of gold, and so are the horseshoes.

Un gran acompanyament el senyor darrere duia, i, de tant lluny com la veu, el cavaller la saluda. -Cavaller, bon cavaller, si veniu de part de França haureu vist el meu senyor, que Déu guardi de desgràcia.

The sir had a great retinue behind him, and, as far as he saw her, the knight waved at her. “Knight, good knight, if you come from France, you will have seen my man, may God keep him from misfortune”.

-L'he vist i l'he conegut i amb ell tenc grossa amistança. Som dinat, ans de venir, moltes voltes a sa taula. Ara ja deu ser casat: el Rei li donà una infanta. -Benhaja ell qui la mantén! Malhaja qui la hi ha dada!

“I have seen him and I have met him, and with him I have a great friendship. We have shared lunch, before coming back, many times in his table. By now he must be married: the King gave him a princess.” “Blessed be him, who maintains her! Cursed be him who gave her to him!”

Fa set anys que jo l'esper, com a dona ben casada. Set altres l'esperaré com una viudeta honrada. Si dins aquest temps no ve, seré monja consagrada. Me tancaré en el convent, el convent de Santa Clara.

“I have been waiting for him for seven years, like a good married woman. Seven more I shall wait for him, like a honest widow. If he does not come in those years, I shall be a consecrated nun. I will lock myself in the convent, the convent of Saint Claire.”

-Senyora, jo fos de vós, no voldria estar tancada. Pot venir vostre marit a l'hora més impensada. Què faríeu, dama, vós, si davant el vésseu ara? -Faria els rosers florir i les poncelles badar-se.

“Lady, if I were you, I would not want to be locked. Your husband could come in the least expected hour. What would you do, lady, if you saw him now in front of you?” “I would make the rosebushes bloom, and the buds open.”

-Senyora, idò, ja poreu, que davant el teniu ara. Se daren tant fort abraç i d'alegria ploraven. Se giren ençà i enllà; els rosers aponcellaven.

“Lady, then, you can do it, for you have him now in front of you”. They hugged so strongly and they cried of happiness. They turned around, here and there; the rosebushes were blooming.
