Here in Korean Class

 

So here I am for my Korean language Class. Honestly, I have already did a write up for this and upload it through my Handphone. Somehow, it doesn't get through. And this is the second time!! Oh well, I guess I have to rewrite it.

So as you can see, this is the door to my school. To be more specific, it is the door to my classroom. I wouldn't actually call this my school since it operates in a room, but nontheless it offers language classes. Werid. Well, actually when my senior asked my where I learn my Korean, I told him Hanok. He later replied "That sad looking place?". Tsk.. It's sad looking okay. Sure it only function in a tiny classroom but I think the teaching isn't compromise. Let me do a little summary and background for you guys.

If I am not wrong, Hanok Korean Class is a newly established school.Unlike other korean schools, my teacher is a local. Therefore, if there is anything that is really hard to understand, my teacher can use Chinese or English to converse with us. And as some words in Korean are quite similar to Chinese, she will then relate to it so that we know. Base on my previous experience, having a local teacher would be much better as previously, I had a native teacher teaching me. And when it becomes difficult, he finds it hard to explain to us so therefore I don't really understand what is going on.

Having a small classroom doesn't mean my learning is being compromise. The teacher is good in a sense that she uses flashcards and interact with us in Korean. Being forced to reply her in Korean and to repeat the vocabs means that the words are being internalise inside me. Every lesson before we are dismissed , we are to have spelling . At first it is just words, but later we are to translate English into Korean, which makes it more fun. Morever, small class means smaller students and that means I have lots of attention.

Best of all, among other language school, Hanok Korean Class offers the BEST offer. As I am still schooling, I am offered the student price.

However, having one room means there is little time slots it can offer. And the class do not have schedule for higher level, well at least none that I know of. Classes are only conducted in weekday evening or weekends. Therefore, with such little timing and only one classroom. It is impossible to offer higher level lessons and furthermore, many of them only took the lessons for fun, they stopped after Basic 1. So at some point of time, I may have to switch. Either they compromise by offering less lesson basic level lessons or stop at a certain level. But most of the time, they would stop at a level as basic level demands are much higher.

So if you guys want the link, here you go!

Korean Class Today!!!

I am going to Korean class today!!! Finally!! I didn't do much studying last night so I studied on the bus ride to school today. I managed and get back some important infos and grammar ( am is ) . Hmm. Memorizing grammar rules is never easy for me. At least it's much simple than English. It is also a either you use this word or you the other however , this is quite problematic for me as I still don't know which to use when I am saying it verbally. For written , it is easy so you can see which to use . I will explain in depth when I have the time but to those who learnt Korean , you guys should understand what I said.

Anyway, I am currently on my way to Clement station. I just hope I didn't hop onto the wrong bus, or else it would be a waste of time and money!!! Blog later, need keep an eye on where to alight! Won't want to miss it!

Korean class tomorrow!!

I am soooooo excited!!! I am having korean class tomorrow! Yipeeeyyyy!!! I finally get to pick up the language!! After soo long. Actually not that long just that it seems long to me.

I am able to see Betsy and Lydia for 3 hrs!!!!! Wheeee!!! Sorry , I am a bit high.

I wonder if the teacher will be the same one and if they will start teaching us how to speak formally and informally, the structure.

I haven even revise my Korean !! Eeekkk!! I don't really remember the rules . Oh no.

Shall revise tonight. Shall post pictures!! See ya tonight!

Korean Restaurant

Went to East Coast park today. OMG , first time in my life I have seen sooo many construction workers!!! Why the sudden increase???

Anyway, that's not the main point. The main point is , there's a Korean Restaurant . It is opened by a Korean and the ambiance of the restaurant is very much like a Korean food outlet back in the country of origin. It is really tasty and most of all.. it has ENDLESS flow of meat!! Wipeey!!!

There are many Korean who goes there, local celebrities and even KPOP STARS!! Like FT Island and Super Junior!! You can see their autograph hanged on their wall.

They have several branches but I only been to the East Coast Park . However, to those tight fisted, it can be really expensive so just to let you know.

Anyway, that's all I have to suggest. Till then ~

Bus Drivers

Sometimes, bus drivers can rEAlly piss me off. What do I mean? This happens to me a lot of times. Have you ever been to a situation where the bus driver keeps on hitting the brakes.. and they don't do it gently thus you always keep jerking and jerking. Like today , I was on the bus, and we were stuck on this jam. So between the bus I am at and the car in front of us is a small distance. The thing I really don't understand and can't stand is that, given the small space, the bus driver drive a little, hit the break making us jerk, then drive a little, hit the break making us jerking front. It's just a small distance, why does he even bothers closing the gap and it rEAlly make me feel nauseous. I think he did it on purpose. And it's not one time. I am guessing his unhappy with his work, but I think he should be a little more professional and control his emotions.

Not the first time, I mean you can hit the brake, maybe not that gently it's fine, once or twice. But if you keep doing it and throughout the journey.. That's shit .

Anyway, I know I'm not a good driver, I am in no position to comment. But .. I just frustrated. It's not like I can feedback this to the the office. That would be totally childish. Well, I least let me blog about it.

My Japanese Cert!

Went down to my Japanese School this afternoon to collect my certificate!! Isn't this awesome?!! I can't believe that I have actually completed elementary level!! Yippeeyy!! But for now I will stop Japanese temporary. I plan to continue my Korean lessons and finish it first before continuing my Japanese. So that I would mix up both of them and have more time to revise and focus!!
