I am from the Philippines...

안녕하세요!

저는 필리핀 사람입니다. 제 남편은 한국 사람입니다. 저는 생각에 한국말은 어렵지만 정말 재미있습니다. 한국어 공부를 아주 좋아해요!

미안합니다 because my Korean is not very well. I am studying every Mondays and Wednesdays.I am trying my best to learn more...I hope someday soon,I will get used in speaking Korean.Please help me...Any help will be gladly appreciated.

정말 감사합니다...

올림,
마주

Lets say person (A) is talking to person (B)...Here it goes:

(A) Hi Sister (callname for FEMALE family,friends,colleagues etc), your children are beautiful,how are you?

(B) I am okay,how about you? I thought you are applying in Canada?

(...mostly of these terms are used when asking about JOB applications...Especially that I analized this message...the person refers about JOB)

(A) I am fine as well, sister ( She answered her first question "how about you?" or how are you? )...My application was cancelled or NOT persuaded.( For any reasons,we are not sure...).I am still (or staying) in HongKong.When are you going to have vacation in Philippines?Aren't you going to have a stop over here (in HongKong)?

Greetings Everyone!!!

I am currently in Korea and I must agree to @Mr. Sim...Koreans are very hospitable to foreigners like me. Even those who really don't speak English at all are very warm and caring just by their actions. Many seems to look RACIST or SNOBS because they don't talk at all...Why?! They are afraid to speak because others just speak pure Korean...Same like we are afraid to speak to them at first,they feel the same way too.It's better to keep silent than say the wrong words,I guess.Still,they are NOT RACIST! BTW, I am MARRIED to a KOREAN.He accepts my culture so do I.

(...continuation...FINAL)

(7)Finally, Is it true that visitors, in order to visit Korea, should send a letter to the president? * Dear...NOPE! Unless you are a government official which requires courtesy call then why not?! If you are having tourist visa...As long as you have provided and completed the needed requirements and documents asked by the Korean Embassy...Then,no problem. My husband and I invited my father and cousin by next month...they will use VISIT VISA...as they are a part of my family we provided them INVITATIONS and our marriage census from Korea.The rest went well...Soon,they will be here...

I hope I helped you somehow...Keep safe!

(...continuation 2)

(5)There are buses in there right?... *Yes dear.It depends on where you would go...The transportation in Korea is admirable. I am a foreigner and when I have first seen it...I am like " WOW!". The buses and trains are very high tech that you won't get lost at all.The taxis even have translators in case you need it.Cars also have navigators...in HIGH PRECISION (so as the mobile phones).

(6)Let's go to the food...* Again dear...It depends on where you wish to eat and buy food.Prices varies on the location (ex. Restaurants,Bars,Market etc).One thing for sure...most of their food goes with REASONABLE prices.

(...to be continued for the last time...hehe)

(...continuation)

(1)Is there an Iglesia Ni Cristo? *Yes...If I am not mistaken about TWO congregations located in Seoul.

(2)What are the malls or stores that you can recommend? * Honestly...A LOT! Almost all stores or shopping malls are very interesting. Just get budget wise...Even huge hospitals have malls on the first floor or basement.lol.

(3)What are some 'must visit' great places? * Too many to mention...If we will have time to talk...I can PM you.

(4)About shopping...? The prices range from about 5000 Korean won to the most expensive you can ever imagine based on the BRAND.Honestly,they love the brands...hehe.

(...to be continued again...weew)
