 Translation : I eat at the library . 
 I ' m sure there ' s plenty of delicious Korean restaurants around ( of course , why else am I speaking Korean if not in Korea ) but I ' m gonna stay here at the library , and eat because I ' m broke and I need to study . ......

 There is a small restaurant next to one of our libraries . Both have separate spaces . The library is open until 9 pm . At 5 pm , the restaurant drops its chain mail rolldown to lock up . 
 At first , I thought it was " 저 는 도서관 을 먹 습니다 . " ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋ

 almost made that mistake as well 
 I thought " 에서 " meant " from "? Does this also translate as " at "? 
 Yes , it can also mean " at " a location . 
 Apparently it ' s way more commonly used for " at " than for " from "-- even when the verb is to run , it means " at . " Maybe it signifies the location of the start of an action , hence , if the action does not leave that location , then it means " at , " but if the action does leave that location , then it means " from . " But I ' m just speculating here . 
 It may not be correct , but that explanation makes a lot of sense , thanks . 
 So people do eveything at the library except reading : )?

 i think that i would learn quicker and understand things a LOT more if they helped us learned what the words mean before . Does anyone agree with me ? ??

 I actually thought it said ' I eat the Library ' smh 
 Why " I am eating at the library " isnt correct ? 
 Korean has a different verb form for present progressive : http : / / talktomeinkorean . com / lessons / level - 2 - lesson - 10 / 
 Yes , there is a different form . But Duolingo has started accepted I eat or I am eating . For some translations into English , it makes more sense to use " I am eating . 
 Examples , when at a party that only has apples : 
 " I eat . " ( Bob wondered if you were a liquid terrian ) . 
 " I eat fruit but not apples . " ( explains why I am not eating . ) 
 " I am eating . " ( Bob ' s friend saw you talking all the time . He didn ' t know your feed tube was in your hand . )

 Seriously ? You want me to tell the librarian that I AM EATING IN THE LIBRARY ? !?!! 
 This thing is soooooooo FUNNY . .... 
 I put in all the words from the word bank , then after i clicked the translation for a new word , the word ' boring ' appeared in the word bank . Did that happen to anyone else ? 
 Scroll down to see all the words next time .

 Is it normal for me to be slightly confused what prepositions mean in korean . In this particular sentence the meaning of “ - 에서 ” is pretty simple . But for example with - 에서 I ’ ve seen it be used as “ at ” or “ in ” and even as “ from ” . Like I saw a sentence a lesson back that translated to somewhere along the lines of “ the man walks in the library ” but I initially thought it could mean the man was walking from the library . Is there any trick or maybe any rule I haven ’ t picked up on that makes it easy to understand what preposition is meant ? ?

 I used to do that while i drew but the students trashed the library so they postponed hosting my lunch period for the rest of the year . . We had a whole next semester too : ') 
 For a couple of seconds , I was like . ..." I . .. I EAT the library ? ?" 
 Rebels indeed 
 Do you really call someone a snitch when that person is talking about himself or herself ? What if the library allows it ?
