ABC It's Easy As 1-2-3

While the others were out to dinner & drinks last night I decided to hit up the internet cafe to work on my Korean. For whatever reason I decided that I wanted to look at the alphabet so that I could decipher letters. Honestly, I'm so glad that I did! I spent the whole evening writing my name and other western words. I came to school today with a notebook full of scribbles which the Korean teachers thought was so cute. They told me that I have really good Korean writing which I was sooooo happy to hear! One of my main concerns was that my Korean writing would be crap and make me look like an idiot. I'm blessed to have good penmanship in Romanized writing, soooooo I'm a bit accustomed to being able to write nicely and would have been heartbroken to have poor Korean writing. Dorky, I know.

Anyway, I was having this problem with deciphering why a certain Korean letter is sometimes placed in odd areas and is occasionally silent-- think I successfully deciphered why this is. A small win, but for some reason it makes me quite pleased. The unfortunate bit is that even though I'm learning the alphabet and am starting to be able to decipher words-- I don't speak Korean so I don't know what the words mean! Atleast I feel productive :) For now I'm content with writing as many western words as possible with my newly formed Korean writing skills.
Bogosipda & saranghamnida all!
