Hiya!  I have something new for you today!  Let's see. . . Aha!  I know exactly what you should do today.

          First, why do you want to learn Korean?  Do you think it's interesting?  Who/What inspired you to learn this language?  If your a kid, and it's your history teacher, then go up to him/her with a notebook and pencil, and ask him/her why he/she wanted you to learn Korean.  You should find more about Korea.  You can learn al sorts of fun facts and stuff that you might not even believe!  And if you want think my blogspot is to boring and dull, go to my friend's blogspot below.  He's doing Korean too.  We're in the same class and both our moms are Korean.  That's why we wanted to do Korean.  You should do the same thing too.  Trace back your relatives and ancestors and see what cultures your related to.  It's fun to explore cultures.  For example, did you know that in Korea, they eat fried silkworms?  Gross!  (But yummy!)  Try different things!  Explore!  Learn new languages!

Hiya!  I have even more stuff for you!  If you think I'm going to fast and you need to catch up, don't worry.  Take your time.  Learning languages can be really hard so don't rush yourself.  The thing is, don't give up.

          It won't be all play this and play that, and you don't just sit at your computer/ipad.  You've got to do some actual work too.  But don't tire yourself out either.  Don't sit up all night working and working and learning and learning.  Just work a little for about an hour and a half first, then go outside, maybe read a book or take a walk, and have a snack.  Afterwards, go back to learning for about half an hour then you can just enjoy yourself.

          Anyway, take a look at these words and try to memorize them.

      호랑이                ho-rang-i           tiger


      야생 동물           dul-jim-sung       wild animal






          Fun Fact


          Did you know that the tiger is the Korean mascot?  It's the Korean 
     mascot because the tiger was the most powerful animal in the area.  
     Unfortunately, the Korean people killed all the tigers and there are no 
     more tigers in Korea to this day.  The Korean cared for their safety more.
     They killed all the tigers in the forest so they could walk in it.  If you
     had your own country, what would your mascot be?
