자주 하는 실수

You don't need 'yang' for simple adjective-noun pairs. 'Yang' is for clauses.

Wrong: Buku saya yang baru adalah bagus.
정답: Buku baru saya bagus.

Subordinate clauses need a subject and a verb after the conjunction.

Wrong: Saya makan karena lapar saya.
정답: Saya makan karena saya lapar.

Relative clauses must modify a noun, not start the sentence as a subject.

Wrong: Yang saya suka makan nasi.
정답: Makanan yang saya suka adalah nasi.
