| Nice try, troll. A Korean would never call a foreigner a "waegook". It doesn't make sense. Come back and try again after you've spent enough time in the country to be able to properly imitate a Korean. |

| I'm going to honestly answer, however; it mostly sounds like whining for females (some males) and hocking up something for males (some females). |

It's not very funny. Also, the forum is quickly filling up with posts from this individual saying, "  ". Hilarious. |

It is a violation of the TOS to post frivilous post to get your count up and someone with a username like hey_waegook doesn't seem bright, because a newbie wouldn't even know what waegook saram means.
Some posters, if they weren't making trouble on Dave's, they'd be in the slammer, possibly, in some major American city.
Alert us to "newbies" posting frivolously to up their count, veterans.
We'd appreciate that. |

Actually, I was arrested once more this past weekend. Wish I could remember why. They said something about smashing a taxi cab window. Told me that they don't want to see me in there again. |

I think Korean is an immensely irritating language (sorry).
Well, I don't think it's ugly (like Mandarin and Thai), but it's irritating.
But strangely enough, I really enjoy reading and writing it. But I hate the sound of it, I'm afraid - particularly the sounds that crop up constantly, like 은, 면, 데, 이, 그, 고, etc.
There's a Korean expression that sums-up my feelings nicely:
한국 여자 셋이 모이면 접시가 깨진다 |

| To seriously answer the question, it changes after you start trying to speak it. I liked the sound of Korean before, especially when spoken by men (probably biased), but now all I can hear are beautifully pronounced syllables that sound awful when I say them. |

Me, too - since I know it I don't mind it. I think it is not very pretty but when you know the meanings have better implications than the deadpan way it was spoken then it ain't so bad.
PS: Why does the plate break when three girls get together? |
