In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: No matter the size of your homean apartment or houseyour baby will need a place to sleep. You'll also need a place to store baby supplies such as diapers and clothes. Avoid worrying about the size of the space. Babies don't take up a huge amount of space their first few months of life. Paint a separate room as a nursery or put up wall decals in the room or a space in an apartment. You can decorate with a gender-specific theme if you want, too. Remember to use non-toxic paint if you decide to use color in the room. Make sure the space has enough room for the bed you plan to use such as a bassinet, crib, or basket. Set aside some space in your kitchen or pantry for bottles and formula if you are using it. There are certain items you will definitely need in order to welcome your new baby home. You can purchase most items new or even at second hand stores. Having these ready before you give birth can help ensure that you have an easier and more relaxed transition to parenthood. Some of the items that you should definitely have are: A federally-approved car seat. Crib, bassinet, or cradle with slats that are no more than 2 3/8 inches apart that meets current safety standards. Bedding such as a mattress and fitted sheets. Bottles, nipples, and bottle cleaners. Changing table or non-slip pad. Diapers. Diaper pail for soiled diapers. Receiving blanket(s). Changes of clothes including onesies. Washcloths and baby wipes. Baby wash and shampoo. Different people and sources may suggest that you need all kinds of items for a baby. After buying essential items like a car seat and diapers, consider what other items you think you may need. Ask your doctor, friends and family if they have any suggestions. Some possible non-essential items are: Support pillow for your baby. Keep in mind that this pillow is not for use when the baby is sleeping or in the crib or bassinet. Nursing supplies such as a nursing bra or nipple cream. Baby lotion. Toys to engage your baby. Separate diaper bag. Audio or video monitors. White noise machines. Rocker and ottoman. Most states will not let you leave the hospital with your newborn if you do not know how to use a federally-approved car seat. Before your baby's birth, get used to placing the removing the seat from your car so that you can go home without any delay and be assured your baby is safe in their seat. Follow LATCH when installing the seat. LATCH stands for "lower anchors and tethers for children." It means attaching the seat's anchors and tethers to the metal latches or hooks in the back of your car. Read the instruction manual of your car seat before you start installing it. This can help ensure proper installation. Many hospitals or local police or fire departments will also check your car seat to make sure it's installed properly. Make sure the car seat is in the back seat facing backwards. Before you bring your baby home, you'll want to make sure their space and anything that touches their delicate skin is clean. In the weeks before your due date and/or as you set up their room, wash anything that may come in contact with baby's skin. Use a gentle, baby-friendly detergent that is free of dyes and scents that may irritate skin. Avoid fabric softener and dryer sheets as these can also irritate their skin. In the weeks before your due date, put together a bag of what items you may need in the hospital for yourself and your baby. Some things to include are: A copy of your birth plan. Entertainment or soothing music. Comfortable clothing and footwear. Personal items such as pillows and bathing articles. Diapers. Clothing for your baby. Camera. Important documents such as insurance cards and driver's licenses. Although this may not be immediately necessary, your baby will grow quickly and get increasingly curious. Secure areas of your home that could potentially harm your baby, such as sharp corners or electrical outlets, before they become mobile to avoid possible accidents. Remember that no device is completely babyproof. Install safety latches and locks for cabinets and drawers in kitchens, bathrooms, and any other areas in your home. This can keep babies from gaining access to harmful items such as poisons, medications, and sharp objects. Use safety gates in areas where your child could encounter dangers, such as the stairs. Place doorknob covers and locks on entrances to rooms you don't want your baby to enter. Install anti-scalding devices on faucets and shower heads and set the water temperature to 120 degrees to prevent burns. Use window guards and safety netting to minimize the risk of falls from windows or balconies. Make sure each floor of your home has smoke detectors.
Summary: Set up a room or space for baby. Buy essential items. Consider non-essential items. Practice installing the car seat. Wash bedding and clothes. Pack your hospital bag. Babyproof your home.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the best ways to improve your new language skills is to practice speaking with a native speaker. They will easily be able to correct any grammar or pronunciation mistakes you make and can introduce you to more informal or colloquial forms of speech that you won't find in a textbook. If you have a Korean-speaker who is willing to help, that's great! Otherwise, you can place an ad in the local paper or online or investigate whether there are any pre-existing Korean conversation groups in the area. If you can't locate any Korean-speakers nearby, try finding one on Skype. They might be willing to exchange 15 minutes of Korean conversation for 15 minutes of English. Popular Korean messaging apps are a good way to practice, as well, because it will help you to learn more slang and to read Hangul quickly. If you need some extra motivation or feel you would learn better in a more formal setting, try signing up for a Korean language course. Look out for language courses advertised at local colleges, schools or community centers. If you're nervous about signing up for a class by yourself, drag a friend along. You'll have more fun and also someone to practice with between classes! Get your hands on some Korean DVDs (with subtitles) or watch Korean cartoons online. This is an easy, entertaining way to get a feel for the sound and structure of the Korean language. If you're feeling particularly proactive, try pausing the video after a simple sentence and repeat what has just been said. This will lend your Korean accent an air of authenticity! If you can't find any Korean films to buy, try renting them from a movie rental store, which often have foreign language sections. Alternatively, see if your local library has any Korean films or ask if they would be able to source some for you. Translate "learn the alphabet" or "games for babies and/or children" into Korean and then cut and paste the Hangeul Korean results into the app store search bar. The apps are simple enough for a child to use; so, you don't need to read or speak Korean to operate the app. It is also less expensive than buying DVDs. The apps teach the right way to write Korean letters; and, most have song and dance routines; also, there are puzzles and games to learn common everyday Korean vocabulary. Be careful not to buy an app that is for Korean children to solely learn English. Listening to Korean music and/or radio is another good way to surround yourself in the language. Even if you can't understand everything, try to pick out keywords to help you get the gist of what's being said. Korean pop music is sang primarily in Korean, but some English words are sprinkled in too. Fans will often write out English translations, so you can understand the message of the song. Get a Korean radio app on your phone, so you can listen on the go. Try downloading Korean podcasts to listen to while exercising or doing housework. Once you feel comfortable with the basics of Korean speech, consider taking a trip to Korea. What better way to immerse yourself in the Korean language than a journey to its native land!
Summary:
Find a native speaker. Consider signing up for a language course. Watch Korean films and cartoons. Find apps designed for Korean children. Listen to Korean music and radio. Consider taking a trip to South Korea.
