Learning English or.. I've been trying to teach English myself. I don't know when it started not to want to study the way many people does. But now I sometimes think I might have to review my old textbook for grammar and vocabulary. Even thiugh it's been for a while since I moved to the States, I still feel like I am in my country which is really far away. I miss the foods and my people honestly. I cooked dduckppokki last night. Actually it would be pretty much easier if I were in Korea now. The food is the most famous for short time to be ready. But it took about 40 minutes and it was so sweet and not spicy. Every food should be spicy! Maybe what I miss is comfort feeling to the country. I am here but I could not speak enough as much as I want. And even worse, I am not sure how to behave in the standard here in the U.S. I am properly polite but only in my culture. I missed the time when I should say "excuse me", "sorry", "thank you", and "please". In Seoul, the capital of Korea, many just omit some words to unknown person. And there are some situation when you should say like that. Or its situation like say somthing to strangers is just awkward. Sometimes it is better pretend not to see that when someone does mistakes. For not to make him/her feel embarrassed. Different culture, manners, and language are my challenge now. I saw many people who improved their foreign languges by watching TV shows which shows culture as well. But I'm not interested in them yet. But I will start to see them. I also like some American/Britsh TV shows but they are using too difficult English to study or memorize their scripts. But I would not give up. Let's start today!

Even thiugh though it's been for a while since I moved to the States, I still feel like I am in my country which is really far away. I miss the foods and my people honestly.
