Welcome to South Korea!!!!!
I have lived and worked in South Korea for almost 2 years now. I lived on the mainland for a year....and now I am on Jeju Island. I plan to stay on this island for a very long time!!
WWW.Koreanclass101.com is a great source to learn the Korean language but,........getting out and meeting the Korean people is your best resouce! Since you have just recently arrived to S. Korea.....everyday life may be intimidating? My advise is to bypass your fears and meet the people of your community. The more you avoid foreigners who speak your language....the faster you will learn "REAL KOREAN"!! : )
It will take time.....but you will be rewarded with the satisfaction of accomplishment.
Many Koreans are curious about FOREIGNERS and they too will be interested in learning English. You would be surprised how fast you will learn??
Remember....."Avoid hanging-out with many foreigners....unless they speak Korean!" I learned very little last year because my co-workers and I spoke English al of the time to each other because that was comfortable. In my last 11 months on Jeju Island....I have learned a lot of Korean because I was forced to communicate with Koreans to manage my everyday life. Koreans are the nicest people and I have the experience abroad to justify it. Prior to S. Korea....I worked in China and Taiwan. Those country were OK, but just NOT as rewarding.
Best of luck

맞아요! Letters are really 특별해요 ㅋ
yes it's so rare to send or receive an old style letter
i've kept postcards, letters for years and it's fun to read them after a while even though i know the content
Hi Eric, thanks for stopping by to leave a comment :)
And I agree that being exposed to the environment where you are left with no other option but to speak the language you're learning is the best way to learn it fast :) Good luck with your Korean learning !!!

Keep up the good work! And listen to this audio blog one more time in about 3 months, and again in 6 months :) You will find it easier to understand ^^ 화이팅!!

It is so difficult to listen to fast spoken Korean:sad: But this is very good practice, and I am hoping to beable to understand everything perfectly in the future ~~
