October 9 | A Special Holiday in Korea 🌸 Have you ever wondered about the Korean alphabet, Hangeul? Hangeul is a truly unique writing system. In fact, it is the only writing system in the world whose creator, purpose, and underlying principles are explicitly documented in historical records. Created by King Sejong the Great in 1443 and promulgated in 1446, Hangeul was designed with a noble mission: to make reading and writing accessible to everyone, especially ordinary people who struggled with Chinese characters. Beyond being easy to learn, Hangeul is a masterpiece of science and philosophy. 🌸 **Scientific design** The shapes of the basic consonants are modeled on the speech organs used to pronounce them. 🌸 **Philosophical harmony** The original vowel system is based on three philosophical elements: Heaven (ㆍ), Earth (ㅡ), and Human (ㅣ). 🌸 **A world-recognized heritage** In 1997, the *Hunminjeongeum Haeryebon*, the historical document explaining the principles behind Hangeul, was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register. **And 2026 is an exceptionally special year for Hangeul!** This year marks two important milestones: 🎉 580 years since the promulgation of Hunminjeongeum. 🎉 100 years since Hangeul Day was first established. I hope this sparks your curiosity about Korean language and culture. To everyone around the world learning Hangeul today, thank you for being part of its ongoing story! 🌸

You spend years mastering grammar, but English schools never teach you the culture. If your English is technically correct yet you still feel stuck, listen to this.

Hello,native English speakers. Questions about one real sentence which reflects four pairs of sentences. 1a. During this period, the new barrister will gain practical experience not to be acquired in the lecture room. 1b. During this period, the new barrister will gain practical experience not to acquire in the lecture room. Which is grammatically correct? Do they have the same meaning? 2a. During this period, the new barrister will gain practical experience which/that he can not acquire in the lecture room. 2b. During this period, the new barrister will gain practical experience which/that he can not been acquired in the lecture room. The same question as above. 3a. During this period, the new barrister will gain practical experience which he had not acquired in the lecture room. 3b. During this period, the new barrister will gain practical experience which he have not acquired in the lecture room. The same question as above. 4a. During this period, the new barrister will gain practical experience who can not acquire it in the lecture room. ( I deliberately and flexibly play grammar by use of the relative pronoun who (= the new barrister) and pronoun “it”( it = practical experience) 4b. During this period, the new barrister will gain practical experience which who can not acquire it in the lecture room. ( I deliberately and flexibly show off grammar by use of the relative pronoun which (which = practical experience) and pronoun who ( who = the new barrister) Which is/are grammatically correct? (I have never seen such a relative clause with two relative pronouns , but theoretically it works. I deem both are wrong but want to know how the native English speakers think of them.)

Yesterday, I went to my first part-time job. It’s an authentic Italian restaurant, and there’s so much to learn that I thought it would be tough. I’ll have to work a lot of shifts from now on to learn everything quickly, so I’ll do my best. I had the staff meal, and it tasted just like authentic Italian food—it was really delicious. I had classes starting first period today, so I was really tired. After class, I went to the gym with a friend, and in the evening, I went out for dinner with some local friends. It was a very fulfilling day. I’ll do my best again starting tomorrow.
