Hi! This isn’t really propaganda, but have you seen the videos and the site on Pyeongyang’s traffic girls?

And I’m glad you seem to be enjoying SNU. I’m here, too, but only as a language student.

안녕하세요
나는 한국에 살고 있는 외국인입니다.
솔직히 말하면 우리와 같이 한국말을 배우는 백인 외국인들이 생각보다 많는걸요

In your about me section you wrote:

Welcome to my blog! I’m just one American white-guy who loves everything about Korea.

But as a modern American did you really need to make reference to your skin color? I mean, we’re all brothers right. Learning Korean as a second language is just as hard whether you’re white, black or yellow.

Anyway, sorry to be a bit of a pain. Keep working hard!
화이팅

Hey,

How about translating some parts of your site into Korean? Along the top: About, Resources, … and down the side: Popular Posts, Recent Posts, …

Vocabulary is the most difficult part of learning Korean so it would be a bit help^^

Very very recommended!!

I love this drama. It’s makes me have spirit again to study. I wanna learn Korean n English Language too.

I remember when I’m studying math in High school, it’s so fun but it’s hard to understand too. But I like it.

What is the name of the Korean course in Korean?

Also… 120 pages… wow. I read 20 or so a week and that takes about 3-4 hours… if it’s fun reading and I already memorized the words. lol

@Chunbum Park I haven't really felt competitive. As for the workload, I'll have to see as the semester goes on

I feel your pain. I failed my PE class the first time I came to America. There was a written exam at the end of the semester, which was ridiculously easy to other students. That’s how bad my English was. I’ve never met anyone who failed PE. lol

Are the students there bright, competitive, etc? What about the professors? How much workload did you have, and do you expect it to increase?

@Tuan I'll just reply here so anyone else who has the same question sees my response. The particular group i worked with does require Korean, but here's two other groups I know about which have information in English: http://eng.nkhumanrights.or.kr/main.htm http://www.rainbowyouth.or.kr/eng/eng_01.php Good luck!
