Combined group photo, Summer 2008. Click to enlarge.
We were each given this 8R-size photo at the end of our course. There are about 600-700 people in this photo because we took it together with students attending the regular language course. With so many people coming together, each individual's face looks almost like a dot.
Impressive! How many people!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's rude but i have a question for you. My sister is trying to learn Korean but there aren't many korean books availables here in Spain. I found this
http://www.hanbooks.com/koreanlanguage.html
i would like to ask you if you know some of the books and if you could recommend some because she is trying the hard way: self-study.
thanks
hehe. can u find me?? :P
ReplyDeletepelochos, perhaps she can try the sogang textbooks because they are much easier to read. i notice the website is selling books at twice the price. that's really expensive.
ReplyDeletejean, that's a difficult question to ask. ok... let's see. 3rd front column from left, you are doing the "saranghae" with your friend. 맞지!
hehe. bingo! :P
ReplyDeleteThank you for your reply!
ReplyDeleteIt's very hard to find websites that sells korean books in with an english website interface. I found some korean websites but i cannot understand. Also i search in Amazon but there aren't many reviews about the books and i don't know how to choose.
I live in a small city and in Spain is near impossible to find a korean school or a teacher in order to get a start point to advance from there by self-study method. That's the reason i want to find a good book for her.
Hi!!
ReplyDeleteI checked that the Sogang book (www.hanbooks.com)is written in Korean. Doesn't have explanations in English?
Frankly, I have not seen most of the textbooks in hanbooks. If I am in Seoul now, I probably can travel down to the bookstore and look through some of these books before I comment.
ReplyDeleteI have not done much self-study before so I am afraid I couldn't provide good advice on that. Some friend told me that internet provides a lot of ready materials for self study so there is no need to buy book.
