강미 | learning koreanOdds and ends
인선 wants me to write a diary in Korean. As an incentive, I promised that I would do it here. I told Blinger that I understand his reluctance to reveal more about himself in Korean, because I was figuring that was what I was going to have to do, but upon further reflection I admitted the truth to myself: I’m a little lazy. Now I have to learn how to say “I’m a little lazy” in Korean. 인선 gave me this assignment a week ago, and you can see how much progress I’ve made.
Here’s today’s diary line in Korean: 지난 월요일에 감기 걸렸어요. I’m resting comfortably now, but I left work early and cancelled this evening’s Korean lesson.
(I get twice as much typing practice in Korean because I forget to switch the keyboard over to 한글, or I use the wrong switch.)
I finally had a chance to watch the video Antti referenced. I found it to be an interesting window into a part of Korea many foreigners never see. The English subtitles are helpful but by no means complete.
Jun-Gang continues his interesting series on 동물 의성.
And finally, I’m pleased to live in the kind of small American town in which I can make a quick 빼빼로 run. 아몬드 빼빼로, anyone?
