While in Korea (as I previously mentioned) I purchased an “Everyday Expression Dictionary” (in Korean 에브리데이 영어 표현 사전 – Everyday English Expression Dictionary). It’s a great resource, even though it’s meant for Korean speakers who are learning English. I really like it because it has 14 different chapters, which all focus on different things, [...]

I found a great service today for anyone traveling (either for a short of longer time) to Korea. It’s called “HomeStay Korea” and allows travelers to arrange to stay with families in the city of their choice. I searched by location, gender and religion and was surprised by the large amount of choice I had. [...] I’m starting to get very excited right now. I still haven’t heard from the Temple of my choice for the Temple stay, but I do have time even in Korea to work that out, so I’m not worried. Just, butterflies in my stomach every time I think about Korea! My husband contacted his cousin Jinwoo (진우) [...] I revisited the BYKI website today. I haven’t been there in a while–nor have I been using my BYKI Express flash cards that I downloaded. It’s a really awesome site and program and I think I am going to definitely try and use it more: They have over 70 different languages listed and available to use [...] One of my favorite sites ever is BACK! チョコチョコ – Chokochoko has returned and is looking SUPER awesome (made me realize that I need to get moving designing a decent banner for this site. Of course, when it comes to design I can never get what’s in my head out of my head!) But, you all [...] Today I have spent most of the time studying, when not plagued by a bored six year old. I have a quiz in Korean on Wednesday, as well as a test over the US constitution (eegads–the professor assumes everyone took American History and Civics in High School in the US. Erm. No?!!) So, I am [...] I discovered the “Nautilus Institute” yesterday. Their vision and mission states: We hold that it is possible to build peace, create security, and restore sustainability for all people in our time. To this end, we convene a community of scholars and practitioners who conduct research on strategies to solve interconnected global problems. With networks of partners, we [...] I had a meeting regarding the completion of my degree today. Luckily for me, everything looks good. Assuming I can go to Korea and assuming I can get at least three hours of academic credit for it. Also assuming that I can get into PSC470 (an upper-division Political Science class) in the fall. I’m pretty [...] 先生 I visited Maggie 先生 today to catch up with some long overdue Japanese studying, and I came across a post regarding “ヤバい” – slang. I feel that as an intermediate (barely, lol) student of Japanese and a beginner in Korean this is something that’s very important. It’s so easy to make a mistake and [...] I received this email tonight from a listserve I signed up to a long time ago (genkijapan). Most of it is generally kind of spammy and I tend not to read them very much. However, this one caught my eye: Q: Sorry for being random, but I’d like [...] |
