Difficult but still good

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 | |

Korea is getting difficult. I can't explain it so I don't know what else to say. There are a billion of little things.

Anyways, today I was doing one of my tutoring sessions and it was so good to see her progress.
She was having such a hard time saying "dosage" and "passage" and "cabbage"
Seriously, try teaching the right pronunciation to an older Korean person and its near impossible for them to get the ending right. HOWEVER, we succeeded! 성공~
I discovered a way to get her to stop saying GWEE at the end since Koreans always say that. Ah, it felt good to help someone overcome one of their problems even if it was a pronunciation problem ㅋㅋㅋ

귿대, 여기서있으니까 답답해....
힘들어.

I think I'm finally accepting my identity as a Korean, and I don't think it's by my own choice.

Also, the novelty of all the little shops and cute stuff has died so fast. What's wrong with me? I was so excited to take a billion of sticker photos and buy cute clothes and accesorize myself with all the 1,000원 stuff that they sell. 관심없어....Someone said its me growing up, but who knows.
