The main reason I am learning Korean is that we are *going to Korea for a holiday and I don't just "assume" everyone should speak English, I will try to learn as much as I can, but in the UK it is very difficult - not much Korean here so I am having to teach myself! ( I have never had to learn a language before!) I love Korean pop music and films (thank goodness for subs), so am completely hooked! *Update - having now been to Korea - I can't wait to return, so I intend to carry on learning, ready for my next visit!! *** Updated update*** Now looking forward to my 3rd visit to Korea in September! **Just got back from 4th trip to Korea - a place that never ceases to amaze me!!!!!!! (now planning my 5th trip...)

    to my english friends!

    i wonder when i can use 'so far'-i guess it means 'very'-plz give me some example. thx\^^,

    It means a kind of limit to something
    Examples -

    So far he has only learned how to boil an egg. (meaning - he can't cook anything else)
    His patience will only allow the joke to go so far. (meaning - he will not find it funny for very long)

    You can use it at the beginning of a sentence or at the end.

    Hi,
     It would seem, that after national service, the thought of travel is something most young men think about!
     
    You say you only have one month left - what will you do then, have you planned a trip already?

      As I write, a Korean friend, who I wrote to while he was in the army, is doing just that at this moment and I had the pleasure of meeting him here in the UK  last week, when he stayed at my home for the weekend before heading off to London, Paris, Venice,Rome and many other places along the way.... 

      I don't come on here as often as I should, I will be in Korea in September so I need to get back into studying Korean again!

    - what part of Korea are you from?

    Well unless it is like saying "give a pat on the back" or something not always literally, but a comment made of approval. Depends on context If said to an audience it would be literal, - as part of conversation - to imply that you think something is worthy of such action someone might say "you deserve a medal" they don't mean that you should actually get a medal - just that they are giving praise. 'stand up and cheer' is not one i have heard before though - maybe american? Hope this helps!
