| Practicing my Korean before coming over. Have a teaching yourself Korean book with a tape which looks cool. Is there anything else I could be doing now or anything recommended once I get over there. Are there some useful internet sites perhaps? my book looks good with regards to day to day getting by ordering stuff etc and travel. |

| hint - 1 thing i found when learning korean was that the phonetics in my book were america sounds.. when i would reproduce the words they were way off so i kinda had to learn it again... with relation to pronunciation, try to find korean for users of british english (maybe).... I'm aussie btw |

Wheres the point in that? It simply means that you're forced to give up trying to communicate and instead you have to spend all your time just tickling each other with feather dusters and playing wild raunchy games of nude twister...... |

Two questions:
1. Why does a penguin need a feather duster?
2. What's wrong with the situation you suggested? |
