I need to learn a foreign language to get into a university. I don't know a lot of Korean yet. I am studying on Talk To Me In Korean and by watching dramas, but they speak so fast on television! I'd like to find someone that can talk with me about an hour per week. We can talk half an hour in English and the other half in Korean. I have Skype.

    the diary of october 21th

    Today, I feel a bit upset and frustrated.
    In order to improve my English, I try to make friends in Italki, and actually I received many replies. I was excited at first. However, after some chatting, I just knew most of them don't want to help me practice English. They just need a girlfriend or ask me to pander to their vulgar taste... I'm so disappointed.

    Everyday i would do listening tests, but I can't distinguish what they are saying. I must spend one hour listening to only ten sentences......so frustrated......

    1. "Has me/us/them running around..." can be used for anything that keeps you very busy. It can mean walking from place to place, or doing several tasks. In this case, "they" refers to all of the employees at the airport that are involved with making it necessary to go from gate to gate. I use this phrase sometimes. I think it's more common to hear people from the southeast US say it. 2. Yes, I would say "fly by." 3. I think both are correct, but most people would use the first phrase. The second sounds a little more formal. 4. I would say "stabbed" if I were talking about a ball point pen. I would use "stuck" if I were talking about a sewing pin. I think that both are correct, but for some reason I think of "sticking" sewing pins into pin cushions.

    My first reaction when reading those sentences was to say that, "My family all gathers on Christmas Eve." "My family comes from Scotland." were the correct sentences. I think that in the first pair of sentences, both would be acceptable in the United States.
