Study Buddies

Learning Korean in Korea is not as easy as one would think:

• There aren't a lot of classes & tutors.
• Work schedules get in the way of classes that do exist.
• Korean's want to speak English with you.
• Korean isn't supposed to be spoken in classrooms.
• Most foreigners don't aren't learning Korean so you don't have study buddies.

So I've had to tie back into home roots.

Pull myself together,

and teach myself.

Pulling from a the following resources I've managed to build a language plan:

• Foreigners studying at Universities.
• Co-teachers and students.
• iPhone apps of all shapes and sizes.
• Old text books from former teachers.
• Free classes near my town and in Seoul.
• LiveMocha  whenever I have a minute.
• Designing my own study plans

As always, coffee shops provide the place  to pull all these different threads together.

As always, 

the struggle has been worth it.

Each week I accomplish something new.

Each week everything around me becomes easier.

Each week my experience in Korea grows more dynamic.
