Back to Korean studies!

Ok - So yesterday's post was an April Fool's day Joke... Sorry I know it was not funny, but t least I tried...

After a 4 week absence from Korean class for various reason (wife in hospital, other events~, stuff that just happens!) I returned to the Sogang Korean class at GEM on Sunday. There are now 3 of us in the class so I get to feel even worse about being bottom of the class... but I am hoping it will inspire me... hoping...

There is stuff I know in the class but I just can't process it quick enough... the new teacher's style is very quick and I don't think it is helping me... I think I need to do the book work before the class so that at least I know it (even with some mistakes) and use the class for practice...

So I started my homework early this week as I need to review Sunday's 5 pages and next weeks 5 pages...

How am I ever going to manage...? ...  I have so many opportunities to learn, speak and interact in Korean that I am just missing - I need to get over the fact that whenever I speak Korean, people laugh - I know they don't mean it in a horrible way but it is SO demoralizing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Although not quite as demoralizing as reading a story (in Korean) to my 5 year old daughter for her homework and her correcting me (Even though she can't yet read) - I had to call my son to settle one dispute as on that occasion I knew I was right!

Here is Sunday nights Homework...







My pronunciation work...
