Do you want practice in communicating in Korean to real Koreans,
but are too ashamed to say anything very profound and lengthy in person?
If you are, then you are like me.

So you might be interested in posting on Korean message boards, just like I am.
There is a good Korean message board directory at:

http://freespace.co.kr

This page lists a wide variety of message boards, ranging from obscene repartee to professional interests.
Some of the message boards require a Korean ID number for membership, some don't.

I found a good message board for English teachers at:

http://my.dreamwiz.com/cecil203/face.htm

Click on the picture of the house, then click on chilmun isseoyo under "I have a question."
When you enter a message, you will be asked for a secret number, but don't worry about that.

Oh, by the way, message numbers 227, 228, and 229 are especially good.

Uh, www.sayclub.com is good for chatting in Korean/English with Koreans, but you need a national ID number. I think it also might technically be a meeting program...

www.daum.net has a lot of cafes geared towards Korean language speakers. Do search by keyword to find one that interests you and sign up. You will have a better chance to improve your Korean speaking with native Korean speakers than with other non-Korean speakers.

man, don't trust message board korean. they use the funkiest, mangled version of korean. even if your korean is fairly good, there'll be some trouble deciphering the cryptic language used.
