Back 2 Korean Language

Korean language or Hangul (한글) is one of those languages that you may learn in a few minutes....I mean to read & write...but the reality is: the more you study it gets difficult!
There are languages within a language such as Hanja and then differnt speaking styles with respect to different age groups hence, life is difficult but nevertheless, interesting. I will share a few words as well as proverbs that would be helpful for Korean language learners particularly when you are with your Korean friends & wanna label them (for fun)!!

Accoring to our professor, the easiest way to learn Korean is to live it and use it as often as possible. :-)

Here is the list..
문제아: Problem child
앞뒤가 꽉 막히다: Narrow minded/to lack flexibility
공붓벌레: bookwarm
모범생: outstanding student
말썽꾸러기: trouble maker
육심쟁이:greedy
심술쟁기: grumpy
개구쟁이: mischievous child
잠꾸러기: sleep or dizzy  person
장난꾸러기: mischievous child
지각대장: late commer
왕따: loner
뚤뚤이: clever child
청개구리: one who doesn't listen to parents
강심장: strong hearted

PROVERBS
산 넘어 산: One obstacle after another
우물 안 개구리: Frog in a well
하늘의 별 따기: Picking a star in the sky
갈수록 태산:  From bad to worst
