Hellooo :D My name is Kung. I'm currently a Junior at a University. This year, I'm taking a Korean language course and I find it very interesting! It's my favorite course so far in my college career! The only thing is that I don't meet many Korean people here at my University, so it's hard to practice my speaking skills (pronunciation/ fluency/ etc.). This is the reason why I'm starting to use italki! I hope to find a partner(s) who is excited to teach and help me practice my Korean. In turn, I can also help you with your English. My native language is Hmong, but I've lived in the United States my whole life... So, I guess I can consider English almost native? :P. I haven't actually had experience teaching English before, so beware! ^^ I can definitely help with fluency, pronunciation, and possibly even culture! I prefer voice chatting on Skype, but I'm flexible with other applications as well. Also, it would be nice to have a semi-regular schedule where we can have regular conversations :). If anyone is interested in getting to know me, or for the reasons above, feel free to send me a message and I'll be happy to reply! :) I'm looking forward to meeting you!

    I think the best way to learn any language is to start by learning the alphabet :). (If you really want to learn it long term, and not just a few phrases) You can easily google, and start learning the alphabet ^^. I personally don't think Korean alphabet is that difficult to learn. I started reading (more like just sounding out the words) in a week. Good luck!

    It would depend on how you pronounce it, then you can just spell it in Korean that way. Sorry if I'm pronouncing it wrong, (Ga-Dee-Eur) 가디을.

    "I am watching a drama": 드라마가 봐요. Or 드라마가 보고 있어요. I think that's how it's written. I'm still learning Korean as well so it may be totally off. >.< But you can start with that for now. ^^

    지금: It means "now" as in "I have to do homework now" or, "Let's start now".

    A phrase commonly used by the store owner/ waitress when walking into the restaurant:

    어서 오세요! (Which literally means to come in quickly or a variation of that, I think :D)

    1.) The smell of perfume reminds me of my mom. 2.) The song "Blowing in the Wind" brings back memories of campfires. 3.) The taste of popcorn reminds me of watching movies at the theater. 4.) As a young child, I can clearly remember when I stole candy from the gas station. 5.) When I see my best friend, I think of all the hard times we've been through together. Those are my answers :) Sorry, they're not that creative ><.

    Hi! I usually get the same feelings sometimes when I think about studying abroad in Korea. I really find the Korean language and culture extremely fascinating, but I also can't help but think about the negative views/ stereotypes about Americans (if any) as well.

     

    I have some Korean friends who are studying abroad here in the United States, and they don't seem to say anything negative about Americans. I feel that they enjoy learning about American culture as well.
