Re: korean language

I've picked up a book at the library on Korean but I'm not getting very far. I was wondering if anyone knew a really good program that isn't as expensive as a Rosetta Stone. I like the free online sites, I feel they're good to practice on while waiting in line but I feel like I'm missing gaps in my ...

Re: Foreign TV Shows

Thanks for posting the link, I'll have to check it out. I usually just wait for someone on Youtube to translate the shows I like watching. Some of my favorite shows are Strong Heart and Running Man. It's interesting to see how different cultures handle creating daytime tv shows. I've really learned ...

Re: Japanese Culture

Don't point your chopsticks at anyone because it's considered ruder than the middle finger. Don't leave your chopsticks crossed on your plate, bowl, or table. If you can help it don't even let the chopsticks cross when you're using them. Don't use one chopstick as a dagger to spear a piece of food, ...

Re: Eating Dog Meat?

Honestly, I know that dogs have been our pets for a while now but they're still animals. I don't know why it's okay to raise chickens and pigs for food but not dogs. My biggest problem with the dog market is when people kidnap actual pets to put on someone's plate. That's crossing the line, but if t...

Quickest Way to Learn A Language?

There are so many scam out there that try to sell you programs that will let you speak fluently in a month. While I find that skeptical unless you have a def ear and spend all day every day for a month only studying that one language, maybe. But I was wondering what is the fastest you've learned a l...

Re: French

I took two years of French in high school and I can't say that I was very good at it without a dictionary. I took it simultaneously with Spanish, I started Spanish the year before, so it was easy to learn the structure of French. But I could never seem to recreate the words verbally because of how d...

Re: Immersion Program

On principle I think an Immersion Program would be awesome or at least going to a country of the language you want to learn. But I have a feeling that I would end up like Brittany Murphy's character in The Ramen Girl, you would kind of understand the language but not really. I think the Immersion Pr...

Re: spanish

Check out your local library to see if they have an audio section. If they do, they probably have not only audio but their companion books that you can work off of. You can use your camera to take pictures of the book, then put them together as a pdf. Then on your computer you should be able to burn...

Turn Your Face

I'm in the middle of trying to figure out etiquette in South Korea. One of them that I find interesting is that you never pour yourself a drink and that you should always pour your superiors their drinks. Though the strangest for me is that you aren't allowed to drink facing your superior or elders,...

Cooking Foreign Foods?

I've been watching K-dramas and the food always looks delicious. I've been looking around for a good Korea cookbook and found one in the library to borrow. I have to admit that finding the ingredients was half the battle. What's worse was that the store that had it was speaking Japanese, which I don...
