Lessons With Papi - Transportation


Lately I've been trying to challenge my own drawing style with the Papi comics. I should probably mention that drawing doesn't come easily to me. 
I literally can't get the thought to paper. 
I'm often having to look up how to draw something. (*cough cough* the subway took me forever. I literally have no perspective). Thank goodness we live in a digital age where I can draw on a screen and undo as I make mistakes. (WOW!)

I downloaded the webtoon app to help inspire, amuse and entertain myself. 
So I have been trying to find ideas and embrace that everyone has a different drawing style. Which is wonderful to watch and learn every week with the updates.

I don't know if I will continue to draw in this style. It's definitely the most fun thing I have drawn so far. 

Vocab:
배 (bae) - Ship
지하철 (ji-ha-cheol) - Subway 
비행기 (bi-hang-gi) - Aeroplane

If I Fits, I Sits


I haven't done a Papi comic in awhile... For many reasons. Firstly, I was away on a small trip to Sydney (to see family but mainly to see BIGBANG - Yays *\(^o^)/*) but I had terrible motion sickness the whole time which left me dizzy, nauseous and confused for most of the trip.  (BIGBANG were awesome - will post about it later) 

The second excuse is that I have an inner ear infection that I can't shake which explains why my Sydney trip was kinda ruined. Probably had it then as well. 

So I just did this quick comic to help myself with my terrible memory for vocab. (Yay for learning Korean!)

The two things I love more than anything is sitting and sleeping... So a bed and a chair fits me well today. 

Vocab: 
침대 (chim-dae) - Bed
부기맨 (boo-gi-man) - Boogey Man
의자 (ui-ja) - Chair

Learning Korean


Bed - Chimdae
As some of you may know, I'm learning Korean.  Why?  You know that feeling you get when it's something your soul just desires.  I get that feeling when I see and hear things Korean.
Right now I'm trying really really really hard to learn how to pronounce and speak Korean.  However, I am terrible!  So bad!  I always forget everything.  I hear it and then 3 seconds later, I've forgotten.
My Songsangnim (선생님 - teacher) asked us the other day how much we remember after a few days.  Most of us admitted we remember barely anything (me, I remember nothing!!!).
Being the bless that she is, she gave us a tip on how to learn.  Revise a word a day. At the end of the week revise those words again and most would've been forgotten ... At the end of the month review all the words again.  And again most words would've been forgotten.

How does this help?  Well, eventually (probably decades later) we will remember those words.  
So, Papi is going to be my remember a word a day.  Let's see how well I do. I'll try to update this as much as possible.
Hello, is this Papi's house?
