Hello, Mashimaro!

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but when I was living in Kumi, there was a piano studio down the street from my apartment which was named Juilliard.

When I was a senior in high school, I tried unsuccessfully to get accepted as a student in the better-known Juilliard School of Music. I had thoughts about taking piano lessons at the lesser-known Juilliard so that I could truthfully say that I studied music at Juilliard.

Korea has golf practice rooms (���� ������) and singing practice rooms (�뷡 ������).
How about an English practice room (���� ������)?

Sakamura, your suggestion is pretty good too.

(If the Korean comes out on your computer like garbage,
hit Bogi (V), Inkoding (I), and Hangukeo.)

Throw "cheon guk" on the end as opposed to "heaven." Borrowing from the franchise "kimbab cheon guk." (cheon guk) meaning heaven in Korean.
