I like your blog very much, thanks to you I have opportunity to learn much more about Korea. Thanks a lot for posting Korean course, but I have a problem with the level two of this course. The error appears when I get for the link. I'll be grateful if you could repair it. Thank you! :) Hi! I like your blog very much, thanks to you I have opportunity to learn much more about Korea.

I taught a little on the side in 1999. Some say that was when you couldnt get rich teaching anymore, only enough to make a living. I got 21 per hour then. Now as nurse here in the US I do much better. Later I saw the influx of those from South Africa and Australia who would take less. Prices even then were more than in the USA. 10 bucks for a watermelon, 4 dollars for a gallon of gasoline. Eventually we have caught up a bit. I looked to maybe working in the international area near the new Seoul airport someday. I married in 1999 in Cheju, she came to study english for only one year and now she has been with me since.I dont get enough to Korea, but have taken notice how Cheju has changed, good and bad, sure some have prospered but it has lost some of that hidden charm. I havent made a very long term commitment to Korean, partly because languages dont come easy to me. I can follow some Spanish but Korean is tough. Even though I have watched those two popular foreigns made famous on TV because they could speak Korean didnt motivate me. Thanks for posting your mp3. I have the course but only on audio. For the record my wife says its North Korean dialect. Glad you are doing well. I taught a little on the side in 1999.

Ive been studying korean for about 10 years of and on. I was in the military and ive sent over $500 in material over my life time. I hate to say the fact that i did buy this pack before from a used book store that cost like $80 dollars. :( but anyways After useing this book. Alot of my korean friends commented on 1. How yell i sounded korean and to how fast i was picking things up and speaking more freely. I.E. Not thinking about what im saying and just talking. iF YOU WANT TO LEARN FAST AND LIKE TO DRILL. THIS IS FOR YOU. There are alot of books out there which was mentioned in the intro and ill tell you. this is most definitly it. I would like to mention the fact that you might want to pick up a grammer book. It helps with the grammer because this book is a "speak" based book. Id also like to say that ive learned enougth to write a song in korean. and it wouldnt be possible without this book.(and outside help) Hey i would like to tell everyone that this book is really on of the best books out there.
