Office Conversation

ME: 혹시 O주임님, O사장님이 다음주에는 출장 갈겁니다?
Miss Park: 네
ME: 어디 가요?
Miss Park: 26일, 화요일에는 일본 가요. 수요일부터 토요일 싱가포르 갈 거요
ME: 네, 감사합니다!

Considering I work in an office where everybody else is Korean, I speak surprisingly little Korean during the day.  But, take the opportunity when I can - this conversation was easy for me - comfortable with all the vocab (Maybe some spelling mistakes ㅋㅋㅋ).

And I know there are some mistakes in the following email, Actually I didn't send this email (i sent it in English) but thought I would practice by writing it in korean.  I posted it to LingRing and waiting for corrections...

*** 상무님, 감사합니다 이메일을 보냈습니다. 
브라질 법인은 부가적 정보 요청 부탁합니다. 
브라질 법인의 대상 고객은 지금 PostGreSQL 활용함. OURPRODUCT는 PostGreSQL 마이그레이션 유틸리티는 갱신습니다, 설명서를있습니다?

I will post the corrections and translation later... TTFN!

Phrase a day... Can I do it?

As I have not touched the Essential Korean for Business book for several weeks I want to commit a phrase a day, from the book to memory...

~ Can I do it?
If I keep the phrases on a similar theme then 1/2 the phrase may be the same... it could be possible...


Does anyone know any techniques for committing phrases to memory?

Work Pressure and Sunday classes

Yesterday I had a new teacher for my Sunday Sogang Level 2A class.

Her Teaching Style is different, FAST!  We did the whole of chapter 6 in 1 hour 30 mins, to be honest I struggled a bit even some of the vocabulary, I wasn't sure of but I think I managed ok - the other student in the class (yeah - there is only 2 of us!) is more advanced than me so probably easier for him!

When going through the grammar sections where you have to complete a sentence, the pace was so fast that she was practically giving the answer while I was still working out the grammar form, then we ran through the page reading the answers and she corrected pronunciation, etc.  If I keep up the self study using these sections of the book, then maybe it will be ok. But, for me Sogang class was about studying in a class environment and just doing a reading / listening as homework - this gave me time to study the TOPIK, Business and writing types of study that I am currently attempting.  But the lesson is FREE and it is a great help, I really think I need to attend a Hagwon class for study or get a private 1-2-1 teacher.  But it is something I can't afford at the moment, in terms of time or money.

Work pressure

Transferring to a new team at work, whose focus is not on language and translation it is sales and marketing for Overseas clients (English speakers). I attended my first meeting last week - it was in KOREAN and I  understood he morning sessions in varying degrees that I was quite pleased about - but by the afternoon I was lost...  In the evening was a welcome meal for some new employees and a farewell meal for a manager who is heading to south America to set up a new branch - the new colleagues and a couple of other younger employees speak English really well but I can't expect them to translate everything for me during the course of the day..
I bought a new book  Essential Korean for Business Use.
You can look at the first few pages >>Here<<
It seems an interesting book great for supplementary self study...
