마 리 ㅣㅁ 니 다
I cannot claim that my Korean is great, or even good, by any means, but I’m picking up a few words here and there. I have a tutor that I see once a week. Her name is 휸 속 and she’s great. I’m hoping to be able to have basic conversations by the time my year in Korea is up – like “What’s your name?” and “Where are you from?”….and be able to answer properly…..instead of my current and constant 한 국 말 춭 맏 데 오 or 물 라 요.
My job is going great. I teach six classes (English) a day on Mondays through Thursdays and on Fridays I write curriculum and I teach two classes – Korean History and Science. There are ten (I believe) other teachers at my school, plus management and Korean staff. So far I can only say good things about my place of employment. My 학 ㅘㄴ also has a second branch in ㅏㅂ 구 중 which in just a short subway stop from where I work, which is in 강 남. My students are in 2nd through 6th grade and their English abilities are scattered all over the plane, but luckily they are placed in classes based on ability. …big sigh!
Being in 한 국 is great! I’m so happy here.
Det ar verkligen en upplevelse att vara har I Korea. Det gar inte riktigt att forklara, men att vara har har andrat mig. Jag tanker inte pa samma satt langre. Jag tror mina varderingar andras dagligen. Min syn pa livet ar batter kan jag saga. Min syn pa mig sjalv ar definitivt battre (trots tidigare blog om att inte vara vit sa fick inte jobbet.) Min syn pa Korea och Koreaner ar lite hit o dit….forstar inte riktigt, men lar mig dagligen. Men jag kan arligt saga att jag ar lycklig har. Jag trivs med mitt Koreanska liv och med mig sjalv…och kan man egentligen onska natt mer an sa?
