Language exchange for Korean.
Hi!
I am a 29-year-old guy who truly wants to improve my English and I'm looking for a language exchange partner.
For just an hour, at a cafe or library, wherever possible, we can casually talk or ask each other questions about anything in both languages.
It doesn't matter how old or what gender you are..If you're interested, please kindly email me.
Before contacting me, please consider the followings.
-
I have a Gyeongsang-do accent.
-
Not a professional Korean teacher nor do I have a degree in Korean.
-
It would be much better if you can speak even a little bit of Korean to have a conversation.
So, if you're looking for someone who can teach you standard/academic Korean. I may not be the best option.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you!

The words 모든 and 마다 can both translate as "EVERY" depending on the sentence, but these words are completely unrelated and used in different ways. I'll explain how "Each" and "Every" have different uses in Korean, as well as how to use 마다 and how to use 모든.
