An introduction of sorts..
Thursday, May 15th, 2008여러분 안영하세요!
I just wanted to write a quick note to say hello, and also to introduce myself and the new blog that I am excited about sharing with you.
My name is Emily (username: holdfast). I am 24, I have been studying Korean for just over one year, and I currently live in Nashville, TN, USA (and just for the record, no, I am not a country music fan^^). It is not a very large city, and at first glance I wasn’t able to find much Korean learning help, but now it almost seems to find me! The biggest help recently has been my experience teaching english to a little boy named 승진 (and if you haven’t seen the picture I posted in the forum, go check it out, he really is the cutest kid I’ve ever seen).
I unashamedly love kpop (especially super junior), and I really like using parenthesis (if you didn’t notice already). I am not sure there is anything else to say about me at this point, but if you have any questions, please ask!
I will be writing (hopefully) every week about the adventures in self-language learning and the Korean culture that I come across here in the States. ^^
여러분 기대하세요! (Everyone, please look forward to it!)

Great! I’m headed to Hondras when I leave Korea this fall, so I probably will need to study alot on my own without any Koreans to help! I’m looking forward to your tips!

Welcome!
I can understand why finding good Korean study materials outside Korea (even inside Korea, actually) can be so difficult. I worked at a bookstore about 7 kilometers (what’s that, about 4.5 miles) from an area with lots of Koreans in a major metropolitan, multicultural city (Toronto). In our languages section were tons of books on French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese… and about two or three for Korean! That was it!
