Thanks, it's something new to say to the girl who works at the cigarette stall opposite my school.

They do say it, but not as a standard greeting as we would, when saying goodbye. It would leave more of an impression on someone you like. It can also be shortened to

Wow, thanks for all the replies! Some good feedback.

I'm just starting to study Korean at a university in the U.S., and I placed into a first-year "Korean heritage" class (though I'm not Korean heritage) because I can already read hangul and have a Japanese and Chinese language background. My professor is going to try putting me into the "non-heritage" first-year class, though, because the heritage kids have better listening skills than me, and she'll move me up if it's too easy for me.

So, if she asks me tomorrow (the first day) if it's too easy, I want to be able to say (politely), "It seems a bit too easy for me."

I certainly don't want to be rude to my teacher, or too cocky, especially on the first day of class.

So, what's the best POLITE way to say "(It seems/it might be) too easy"?

��, (��) �� ... Yeah, (as I expected) it seems a little bit too easy...

�� ? - Do you have anything a bit more difficult?

Standard politeness, though not super-duper polite.
