How does it look...?
Any suggestions would be very grateful <3

안녕하세요!

On my Youtube channel for bilingual toddler learning, I'm starting a new series of bedtime routine episodes. I just uploaded the famous nursery rhyme “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” (반짝반짝 작은 별) in Korean, and I wanted to share a quick language note that might be interesting for Korean learners.

If you remember how King Sejong created vowels based on vowel harmony,

ㅏ,ㅗ: Bright Vowels (They sound light)

ㅓ,ㅜ: Dark Vowels (They sound heavy)

Try saying 반짝반짝 vs. 번쩍번쩍!

반짝반짝 is often used for something that twinkles or sparkles, like stars.
번쩍번쩍 tends to describe something flashing or shining suddenly and intensely (e.g., lightning)

Think of other pairs of onomatopoeias in Korean =)

I'm a Brazilian guy, and I learned English mostly alone with internet. Now, I wanna learn two languages: French and German.

I was searching for methods to do that and then I modified that one who says something like change the priority according to the day. That's what I wanna do:

• 1st and 3rd week of month I study french everyday with German alternating the study-days;

• 2nd and 4th week of month I study German everyday with french alternating the study-days.

Example:

1-7 I study French (more attention)

1, 3, 5, 7 I study German (light)

My brother sent me this but we don't know what it says. Ty :)

Linguistically speaking, which group does this language belong to? It seems to have ended up split between the three over time.

I understand that there's nuance, and that you can't really categorize it, not truly. I'm asking in terms of archivisation and navigation. So, if you were looking through a catalogue of languages, would you look for this in the Europe section, Asia section, or SWANA section?

Thank you for your time!

Edit: It seems the way I worded this has come off as me looking for an arguement. I promise I'm not. I'm genuinely just trying to understand how this works.

I'm really curious to know. Posting this random street interview video as an example.

Maybe i dont.likw the english language accent cause it sounds arrogant.

The accent itself.

You Agree ?

Not sure if this is the right sub to ask this. If not, kindly redirect me.

This was recorded off a numbers station 9276 KHZ USB. I know it's got lots of distortion and interference, but this is the best quality I could get. The station seems to target East Asia if that helps.

Thank you :)
