Well, we have officially had one day of Korean class.
So far, the class seems to be extremely low level. However, this may have been a warm-up type session. From looking at the book, though, it's about what it's going to be.
I think at some point, however, there will be some grammar I need focus on. Plus there's a fair bit of vocabulary, a lot of which I don't know. I'll get some practice, at the least. And it's a good chance to see some people I don't get to see very often.
The class members are fairly varied. The four of us, a guy from Mexico, some lady from Russia or some other former USSR country, some Mormons, and some other random people. A foreign clown. Yeah. And one lady who apparently gave myself and another friend the stink-eye. She thinks we took some papers that were someone else's, maybe? Or she's jealous of our amazing Korean skills? Only time will tell.
Regardless, I'm thinking we'll stick with it. Still going to keep studying on my own as well, though. Maybe start brushing up and expanding upon my own grammar if this turns into my vocabulary class.
Only time will tell.

I found your blog while searching for Korean classes in Daejeon. Anyway, I was just wondering where you are going for your classes and how much they cost. I am very interested. Any feedback would be great.
ReplyDeleteCurrently, I'm attending a Korean class held by the Daejeon International Community center, near Daejeon station. It costs 5,000 won for about a two month term. We meet twice a week for an hour and a half each class
ReplyDeleteChungnam National University also has Korean classes, but that's pretty far from me. Their classes cost 279,000 won for a fifteen week course. They meet three times a week, for two hours each class.
I've also heard KAIST does classes, but I'm not very well informed about their classes.
What specifically are you looking for in the class, and what's your level now?
