Fukuoka at Full Throttle: A 24-Hour Tour de Force

I landed in Fukuoka with a mission—no time to waste, no moments to squander. The clock was ticking, and this wasn’t some lazy weekend getaway. This was a full-throttle, caffeine-fueled, ramen-slurping, shutter-snapping blitz through one of my favorite cities in Japan.

Why Wooyoung’s Korean is INSANE | ATEEZ Deep Dive (7/8)

I created MORE Korean language CHEAT SHEETS

Since the last time I made cheat sheets I’ve been hard at work on several more, and I’m ready to share the first two new ones with you – two cheat sheets for conjugating verbs into adjectives. Making adjectives is one of the most common conjugations that you’ll do, right after conjugating the standard ~요 form, and since I previously made a cheat sheet for conjugating the ~요 form I thought it’d be best to also make some for conjugating adjectives.
