So my sonsaengnim wanted us to write our names in Korean on our homework, and she told those of us who have Christian names that we can use the Chinese-Korean instead.
Back in jc, me and zx and jq googled and found out our Chinese names in Korean! Mine was 원가령 (Won ka ryeong). So I happily wrote it on my exercise paper and handed in my homework.
But I realized karyeong is very difficult to pronounce for non-native speakers! For the r/l sound you kinda need to flick your tongue a little. So it's kinda weird that I can't pronounce my name right haha.
And yesterday I found out I couldn't associate with my name ! Sonsaengnim wanted me to answer a question but I was obliviously stoning. Only realized after 3 seconds lol.
Now I wanna change my Korean name to something in Korean that sounds like Angela but sonsaengnim recognize me as karyeong ssi already. Oh wells.
u poor thing T_T
ReplyDeletehahaa I think garyeong is easier to pronounce than mine though. How would angela sound like in korean? 앤지라? 안재라? ._.
ReplyDeleteHaha it's 안젤라! So actually I need to do the tongue flick for the r/l sound also lols. Jaheun is so nice and good to pronounce!
