강미 | learning koreanMarketing the Meetup
Last night I dropped off a pile of Meetup cards at the Oriental Market (not the same as the Oriental Supermarket). They were kind and a bit puzzled about why I am learning Korean.
Later, so was my waitress at the Seoul Garden Restaurant. “English is a world language, and Korean is spoken by only a small number of people,” she said after answering a couple of homework questions.
I had earlier decided to change the location of future meetups from Barnes and Noble to the Seoul Garden Restaurant. I cleared it with one of the owners (I want attendees to feel comfortable just ordering drinks if they don’t want food, and I purposely selected a slow time for the restaurant), and then changed our meetup from the standard third Tuesday of the month to the second Monday of the month. (In Meetup’s earlier days, the time and date were inflexible, and only a limited number of locations were available.)
My speaking-Korean-in-front-of-other-people doom draws nearer.
