I've been in Korea for about 4 years now and my Korean is pretty bad. I can communicate but I think I've been at the same level for about 2 years speaking-wise. There is a lot of language-bleed through when I speak Korean and it's hard for people to understand me. I have studied on my own using
Sogang's Free Online Korean Classes and
Arirang's Let's Speak Korean Video On Demand lessons (you need to set up an account with Arirang first). Both sites are great but I've gotten bored of them so I've decided to use Kpop songs as a way to learn Korean. Another benefit from learning some Kpop songs will be that I'll actually know some songs to sing when I'm forced^^ to go to the singing room.
The reason I chose Secret's song Starlight, Moonlight 별빛달빛 is that I'm learning the dance moves for it in aerboics class. It's a happy, fun, catchy song and I"m planning on using some of the words to write my hubby a love note in Korean - something I've never done before. ^^

Secret's Starlight, Moonlight Lyrics in both English and Korean
Korean:
슈비두바 빠빠빠 슈비두바 빠빠빠 랄랄랄라라 라라리라
장미꽃 한송이 받고 너에게 고백을 받고
내 맘은 샤랄라라라 (샤랄라라라) 밤 하늘의 별도 노래해
너는 내 어디가 좋아 나는 네 모든 게 좋아
네 맘도 샤랄라라라 (샤랄라라라) 세상 모든게 다 아름다워
자꾸 생각나 몰래 가슴 떨려와
어쩌면 좋아 어쩌면 좋아
정말 이런 기분 처음이야
너는 내 별빛 내 마음의 별빛
넌 나만의 달빛 소중한 내 달빛
그저 바라만보고 나를 위해 비춰주는 그런 사람
너는 내 하늘 하나뿐인 하늘
넌 나만의 바다 소중한 내 바다
서로 바라만 봐도 변함없이 미소 짓는 그런 사람 OH MY LOVE !
슈비두바 빠빠빠 슈비두바 빠빠빠 랄랄랄라라 라라리라
구름이 우릴 가려도 두둥실 흘러가듯이
언제나 샤랄라라라 (샤랄라라라) 오! 내 사랑 사랑 오! 내 사랑
자꾸 생각나 몰래 가슴 떨려와
어쩌면 좋아 어쩌면 좋아
정말 이런 기분 처음이야
너는 내 별빛 내 마음의 별빛
넌 나만의 달빛 소중한 내 달빛
그저 바라만보고 나를 위해 비춰주는 그런 사람
너는 내 하늘 하나뿐인 하늘
넌 나만의 바다 소중한 내 바다
서로 바라만 봐도 변함없이 미소 짓는 그런 사람 OH MY LOVE !
어두운 골목에 등불이 돼줄게
어두운 바다에 등대가 돼줄게
아침이 올 때까지 햇빛이 들 때까지
내 곁에서 날 비춰줘 내 맘속에 있어줘
1. 2. 3. GO!
너는 내 사랑(Oh love) 하나뿐인 사랑 (널 사랑해 널)
넌 나만의 태양 하나뿐인 태양 (MY only one)
그저 서로를 위해 아낌없이 줄 수 있는 그런 사람
너는 내 별빛 내 마음의 별빛
넌 나만의 달빛 소중한 내 달빛
그저 바라만보고 나를 위해 비춰주는 그런 사람 OH MY LOVE !

I’m getting roses from you
I’m getting a confession from you
My Heart’s sha la la la la ( sha la la la la )
I’m singing only for you in this night sky
Where are you my love? (I love you, love you)
I like everything about you (like you, like you)
Even my heart sha la la la la ( sha la la la la )
Everything in this world is beautiful
I keep remembering, my heart is secretly trembling
Maybe I like you, Maybe I like you
I really never felt like this
You’re my starlight, the starlight of my heart
You’re my moonlight, my precious moonlight
I only want to see you, you’re the only person that shines for me
You’re my sky, my only sky
You’re my sea, my precious sea
When we look at each other, we’re constantly smiling
That person Oh my love
Shu bi dupa pa pa pa, Shu bi dupa pa pa pa
La la la lala lala li la
We’re going to the clouds too, we can feel them passing by
Always sha la la la la ( sha la la la la )
Oh my love, love. Oh my love
I keep remembering, my heart is secretly trembling
Maybe I like you, Maybe I like you
I really never felt like this
You’re my starlight, the starlight of my heart
You’re my moonlight, my precious moonlight
I only want to see you, you’re the only person that shines for me
You’re my sky, my only sky
You’re my sea, my precious sea
When we look at each other, we’re constantly smiling
That person Oh my love
Shu bi dupa pa pa pa, Shu bi dupa pa pa pa
La la la lala lala li la
I’ll have the lights on the dark street
I’ll have the lighthouse on the dark sea
Until the morning comes, until the sunlight comes
I’ll let you shine by my side, stay in my heart
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, GO!
You’re my love (Oh love!)
My only love (I love you, love you)
You’re my sun, my only sun (my only one)
We can generously share it with each other, that person
You’re my starlight, the starlight of my heart
You’re my moonlight, my precious moonlight
I only want to see you, you’re the only person that shines for me
That person Oh my love
Shu bi dupa pa pa pa, Shu bi dupa pa pa pa
La la la lala lala li la
