한국어를 배우기 시작했어요

저는 한국어를 배우기 시작한 지 세 달이 되었습니다. 처음에는 한글을 읽는 것도 어려웠지만, 지금은 간단한 문장을 말할 수 있게 되어서 기뻐요.

제가 한국어를 배우기로 결심한 이유는 한국 드라마와 K-pop을 좋아하기 때문이에요. 드라마를 볼 때마다 자막 없이 내용을 이해하고 싶었고, K-pop 가사도 직접 읽고 싶었어요. 그래서 한국어 공부를 시작했어요.

처음에는 '안녕하세요', '감사합니다', '이거 뭐예요?' 같은 쉬운 표현부터 배웠어요. 그리고 한글을 외우면서 단어를 조금씩 익혔어요. 하지만 발음이 어려워서 가끔은 실수도 했어요. 예를 들어, ‘학교’를 ‘학요’라고 발음한 적도 있어요. 하지만 실수하면서 배우는 것도 재미있어요.

저는 매일 한국어를 공부하려고 노력하고 있어요. 온라인 수업을 듣기도 하고, 한국 드라마나 유튜브 영상을 보면서 새로운 단어를 익혀요. 그리고 한국 친구와 메시지를 주고받으며 실력을 키우고 있어요. 아직 문법이 어렵지만, 틀려도 괜찮다고 생각하며 계속 연습하고 있어요.

한국어를 배우면서 가장 기뻤던 순간은 카페에서 한국어로 주문했을 때였어요. “아메리카노 한 잔 주세요”라고 말했는데, 직원이 이해하고 주문을 받아줬어요! 그 순간 정말 뿌듯했어요.

앞으로 더 열심히 공부해서 한국어로 자연스럽게 대화하고 싶어요. 언젠가 한국에 가서 한국 친구들과 직접 이야기해 보는 것이 제 목표예요. 😊

From fast-food counters to Michelin-starred restaurants, the hamburger is much loved in the Western diet, but where did it come from?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hamburger as both "ground beef" and "a sandwich consisting of a patty of hamburger" on a bun. Although these might be the simplest forms of a hamburger, the sandwich is often eaten with other things added, such as lettuce, cheese, sauces and even other meats.

But this popular food didn't start out with all the extras. In fact, it's thought that one of the earliest forms of the hamburger was closer to a steak tartare — raw minced steak mixed with egg.

While a recipe from the Roman Empire suggests the earliest version of this meal, some believe that it came from Mongolian horsemen, who would place beef under their saddles while riding, so that by the end of the day it was tender enough to eat raw.

However, others say these riders placed meat under their saddles only to help heal their horses' sores, and any meat prepared this way would be too dirty to be edible.

A later version is thought to have come from the German city of Hamburg, where chefs around the 17th or 18th century cooked minced beef with onions and breadcrumbs. This came to be known in English as the "Hamburg steak," and made its way to the US during the 19th century, where it was later called the "hamburger."

Although it isn't known who first thought to put this minced meat on bread, adding a bun made the hamburger popular as a sandwich in the US. The first fast-food hamburger chain — named White Castle — was opened in 1921, and still sells its famous square-shaped hamburgers to this day.

Now, hamburgers can be found worldwide thanks to popular American fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. In 2012, PBS reported that an estimated 50 billion hamburgers are eaten in the US alone every year.
