This last hiatus was unintended, but not unpredictable. A big project at work took up more time than I had originally anticipated, and although it’s not over yet, it’s settled down to a dull roar for the next five months.
I’ve reconnected with Namseok, my tutor, and I’ve got a plan.
More details shortly.

kangmi will undergo a re-design in the next few weeks. As part of the re-design, the Resources section will be converted to this wiki.
If you’re already a member, you should be able to jump right in and work with the wiki. if you can’t.
If you’re not a member and want to participate in the wiki, sign up now.
The categorization (there’s a better word, but I can’t think of it right now) will remain the same, but I’m open to a better way.
And if you’ve got usability suggestions for the new site, send me a note. The good news is that I won’t be doing any of the work, so it won’t interfere with any of the Korean study time I will soon have.

I’m starting a monthly blog carnival of Korean language learning. Over the years, there have been a handful of bloggers blogging exclusively about Korean language learning. Some are still active, others have gone dormant or left us altogether. Others blog about it in their personal blogs as part of their other blogging. Once a month, I’d like to bring it all together in one place.
What is a blog carnival? Blog Carnival explains:
A Blog Carnival is a particular kind of blog community. There are many kinds of blogs, and they contain articles on many kinds of topics. Blog Carnivals typically collect together links pointing to blog articles on a particular topic. A Blog Carnival is like a magazine. It has a title, a topic, editors, contributors, and an audience. Editions of the carnival typically come out on a regular basis (e.g. every monday, or on the first of the month). Each edition is a special blog article that consists of links to all the contributions that have been submitted, often with the editors opinions or remarks.
There is so much stuff in the blog-o-sphere, just finding interesting stuff is hard. If there is a carnival for a topic you are interested in, following that carnival is a great way to learn what bloggers are saying about that topic. If you are blogging on that topic, the carnival is the place to share your work with like-minded bloggers.
I’m still formulating what kind of content a carnival of this sort should have. Clearly posts about learning Korean would be included. Wyatt’s post on learning a new expression would be a candidate if we’d had a blog carnival back then. I would welcome suggestions on what other kind of content to include.
I plan to host the first one (to be released on March 1), but I am hereby recruiting readers to host subsequent ones. If you’re interested, .
However, let’s consider the name. The Kangmi Blog Festival is unsuitable. Although it’s certainly not about me, that’s what I’ll end up naming it for lack of something better.
Here’s where you can help. your ideas for a name for this thing. I might pick the one I like the best, or I might do a poll. The winner will receive a brand-new World Language Repeater.
The deadline for contest entries is February 1.

If you’re an e-mail subscriber, I’m curious to know how much Korean comes through in the e-mails you receive. Some? None? All that should?
Please reply in comments.

In addition to not blogging here at kangmi | learning Korean, I curate the collection of ginkgo images and related items found at Ginkgo Dreams.
For the first time, I have posted an ginkgo item related to Korea. North, that is. Read more about it here.
There’s a South Korea ginkgo post in the pipeline, and I promise it will have little to no propaganda.
In other site news, Ginkgo Dreams has been undergoing a makeover. The designer expects it to be live in the next couple of days. I invite all of you to stop by to see the results.

Over the next week or so, I hope to run all of the feeds on this site through Feedburner. I’ve run other feeds on other sites through Feedburner, but this time I’m unable to find the feed forwarding service that would allow this occasion to pass unnoticed by my readers. Therefore, please note that 48 hours from now the following feeds may not work again:
However, I am confident that this Feedburner feed will work: http://feeds.feedburner.com/kangmiResources.
Update your feed readers accordingly.
For readers who don’t use feed readers, I have added the option to subscribe to kangmi | resources. See the Subscribe section in the sidebar.
