• I got a learn-it-yourself Korean book. I spend a few minutes a day looking at it, it’s pretty fun so far. I love it when I watch K-Dramas and recognize words. I can even make out a few (very few) phrases, albeit VERY short ones. But the grammar is confusing the heck out of me.
  

  There isn’t anyone around me on a regular basis for me to practice it with. I guess it’s just me and K-Dramas for now. Oh… and S.

  
  

  I will throw out Korean words even if he doesn’t know what I’m saying. So if I want a response, then I will translate myself.

  
  

  “Odi-ga?” Where are you going?
  “Ka-ja” Let’s go.
  “Kach’i mok-ja” Let’s eat together.
  “Wae-yo?” Why?
  “Ani” No.
  “Kurae?” Is that so?

  
  

  And then once in a while I will remind him that my name is Judy.
  
  “Chonun Judy-imnida.”

  
  

  For everything he will say, “Ne!” He says it like he’s a sheep.
