I have been getting the Han cinema newsletter for a while now, I like to read the Hangul-ization of the American movie posters....I think it's really cool when reading out loud and I hear Independence day 2...etc. lol

Do you know what I mean?

Of course I don't mind :-) We had classes in school but they were not very helpful :P So I had to do it pretty much by myself. And I'm still studying. But it looks like the English education in Korea is getting better overall.

NO WAY!! You are a BEAST
At school you had english class? Like as a second language? I wish we have korean classes in school in the US =[

How'd you teach yourself? From books and stuff?

Hehe. It's way out of the original topic of this thread,
but I believe that the most important factor in learning
a foreign language effectively is how to balance *input* and *output*. :D

A lot of people focus too much on input only
and therefore don't really make progress
despite all the great material that they have at hand :-) ...

And I think that's one of the reasons that
it's usually easier to write than to *speak* a foreign language. :-)

So... at some point I realized I was doing the same thing... hehe.. :D
and starting from my first year in highschool, I started focusing
more on *output* rather than *input*.

I tried to spend more time speaking (mostly just recording my own voice
and occasionally talking to English-speaking people whenever I can)
rather than trying to study from books and boring lecture tapes :-) ,
and times would come when I know that I can now say
everything I can write - and that's when I would decide that
I should to listen to and read some more (and different) stuff.
That was basically how I studied. :-)
I hope you can do the same with Korean! :D

But don't get me wrong - I wasn't like... only studying studying studying.
heh heh. I enjoyed studying English, and I wanted to be able to
understand the humor and culture in the movies and songs better,
and that was always a good excuse for me to watch a lot of movies
and do a lot of online chatting. :-)

I wish there had been podcasts teaching English 10 years ago
(was there any?) - it would have been sooo helpful :D

Not so many schools in America have Korean classes
as a part of their regular curriculum, right?

Let's practice some Korean together on skype someday!

hyunwoo, your exactly right I know I need to speak more Korean, I talk to my family and my dogs but they all look at me the same way, blankly.

So I need to skype with ya.
