當然我沒資格就寫作和翻譯給什麼專業意見。正正因為語言能力不足，所以可以分享一下在寫作和翻譯時，掙扎求存的小小方法。
順道介紹一下韓文字典。
執筆忘字，你一定有這個經驗吧？
舉例說，你想寫「抵禦」，但想不到「禦」這個字，只知道跟「預」同音的話，可以利用：

不時總會有人問我，你又學日文又學韓文又學普通話，不會敢到太累了嗎？
做喜歡的事不會感到累，只是這幾個月來重複又重複又重複被迫做我最最不喜歡的事，所以感到苦不堪言。
我最最不喜歡的就是要做口頭報告和考口試。
一月: 普通話口頭報告

回想十多年前下決心學日文時，當時應該沒有什麼人會對學韓文有興趣，所以未曾苦惱過應該學日文，還是學韓文。但自從這幾年學了韓文後，就不時遇到「學日文，還是學韓文好？ 」或「學日文難，還是韓文難？」之類的問題。
我試從各方面主觀分析一下，學日文，還是學韓文好？

「學日文難，還是韓文難？」

其實文章分類裡，有「英語の勉強／翻訳」，已發了發霉。
今日做電郵備份的時候，電腦呆得什麼也做不到。拿起手邊的一本英文工具書，想到不如寫這篇文章，談談不時見到英文錯誤。
Please study the following sentences and make corrections:-

I asked for the way to the bank.  
* We use "ask for + Noun (N)" when the object of the verb is something that is given.  When the object is something that a person tells you, use "ask + N" instead.

每每當我說起我在學日文的時候，如「我都有學過呀！」的回應也聽過不少。「學過」是過去式，所以顧名思義就是現在沒有學了。問為什麼中斷呢？「好難啊！」「沒時間啊！」
學外語，沒興趣不行，但單靠興趣也走不到多遠的。 
「好難啊！」
學習外語，你有沒有預想過實際情況是怎樣呢？快快樂樂學外語 ─ 嘻嘻哈哈上上堂、快快樂樂看劇集、開開心心玩遊戲？學外語真可以如此順手拈來的嗎？

《TOPIK韓国語能力試験 初級(1・2級)対策―語彙・文法・作文編》這本書是日文版，所以我又可以既學習韓文又重溫日文了。雖然我未有打算考韓文能力試，但這類參考書能把詞彙文法等整理好，有助溫故知新。
我將寓溫習於寫網誌，把筆記放上來。固然對了解韓文能力試的範圍有幫助，而詞彙篇對學日文的初學者應該也有參考價值。

上次跟日本人老師談起自己學韓文，然後發現她認識我之前的韓文老師。這位日本人老師沒有正式學過韓文，而那位韓國人老師也沒有學過日文，但她們都能以日文或韓文溝通。當然她們只能說，完全不懂寫。
當我溫習 650 多個韓文生字時，發現原來日文和韓文中，著實有太多相同的漢字詞彙，而這些詞彙卻不是中文詞彙。舉幾個例子 (括號為中文詞彙)：
同僚 どうりょう  동료  (同事較常用)
先輩 せんぱい  선배 (學校師兄/姐，比我年資深的同事)
後輩 こうはい  후배 (學校師弟/妹，比我年資淺的同事)
勤務 きんむ  근무 (在... 工作)
俳優 はいゆう  배우 (明星)
野菜 やさい  야채 (菜, 蔬菜)
返納 へんのう  반납 (歸還)
延滞 えんたい  연체 (過期歸還)
菓子 かし  과자 (零食, 糖)
建物 たてもの  건물 (建築物)
洗濯機 せんたくき  세탁기 (洗衣機)
雰囲氣 ふんいき　분위기 (氣氛)
提案 ていあん  제안 (提議, 建議, 但提案好像在內地/台灣也用)
披露宴 ひろうえん  피로연 (婚宴)
案內　あんない　안내 (說明, 導覽)
領収 りょうしゅう  영수 (常見於「領収書」, 收據)
航空便 こうくうびん 항공편 (空郵)
殘高 ざんだか  잔고 (餘額)
割引 わりびき  할인 (折扣)
無料 むりょう  무료 (免費)

說起來真汗顏，學了這麼多年日文，早前忽然想說牙膏，竟然如此這般呆在當場......

1.歯磨き粉（はみがきこ）．치약
(刷牙的日文是”歯磨き”，牙膏是用來刷牙的"粉"，但為何明明是膏狀，卻叫"粉"呢? 問了日本人也不得要領......)

是不為外人道的。

不知道有沒有人跟我一樣，自大學畢業以來，就沒有停止過持續進修。
不得不相信有宿命這回事。每當時針接近下班時間，四方八面總會湧 入各種各樣必須即時處理的事情，把我殺個措手不及。「你今天不是要上課嗎？」「是啊！」 繼續奮力拍打鍵盤，頭也沒有抬起來。「幾點上課？」「七時。」「現在不是七時半了麼？」把電郵發出，舒一口氣，瞄一瞄時針，「啊！是啊！」關上電腦，收拾 行裝，離開公司。
「今天的運氣真不壞。現在趕過去，只是遲了一小時。」心裡暗忖。上一個星期， 趕也不用趕，因為離開公司的時候，同學也下課回家了。
趕， 不是必然。當前急務要先填飽肚子。這個時候一般只會隨便抓個麵包胡亂吃幾口匆匆了事吧？但我這個人就是麻煩，越是時間不夠，越會想吃熱呼呼的湯麵。你說怪 不怪？而我又嚴守晚上九時後不進食的規矩，不會待放學後才吃，所以明明已經遲到了，卻仍然處之泰然安坐食店吃湯麵。也夠厚顏了吧 ？不過不是沒有代價，因為雖然口裡嚷著沒關係不用急，但還是不由自主狼吞虎嚥，然後理所當然就是胃痛。
又是半小時後，才大搖大擺臉無愧色步進課室。
引 人入勝的課堂，也不是必然的；引人入睡的，卻要多少有多少。不少老師表現真人發聲的絕技，循規蹈矩把書本上的每一個字朗讀一遍，就覺得自己功德無量。「先 生，『と』、『ば』、『たら』和『なら』的分別在哪裡？」她又再把筆記上的字照唸一遍。這個是「假設」，那個是「如果」。此時，同學方才醒覺再追問下去只是徒勞無功。

一句到尾：不知道。

幾近什麼類型的書也有興趣看，除了「自我增值」系列，尤其「如何學好中文英文日文韓文」類。
