Abraham House in Itaewon offers free* Korean classes and opportunities to enjoy cultural exchange. Abraham House looks much like a home inside, where teachers and students can socialize comfortably and even use kitchen facilities to teach each other the foods of their culture. For more information, call 02-790-0900 or 010-3274-7007.

*Classes are free after a 50,000 won registration and book fee.

Sounds interesting. Hoping to listen to it in the morning.

It's a great place for people who are new to Korea, but don't want to spend a lot of money studying Korean at a university. Also, they have "travel Korean" and "shopping in Korea" style courses to teach people quickly on these topics.

The Abraham House podcast interview was really cool. But the one on Medical Insurance was very scarry. I did not know that. Thanks for the informative piece.

Thanks, man. We'll have to get some Outback again soon.

You'll be pleased to know that I now often enjoy lemon with my water at home.

If anyone is looking to learn how to read and write Korean fairly quickly, there are some vids up at www.learnkoreanonline.net that teach exactly that.

The vids are taken from an "in-class" Korean class taught down in the Southern part of Korea.

There are also some extra vids posted on random questions by people.

Where exactly is it in Itaewon? I may have been there in the past.

[Captain Corea]

Aye, do they have a website or anything?

Captain:

They don't have a website yet. She wants suggestions on a free hosting site... any ideas? Facebook?

The podcast gives directions, but to get there, exit out of Itaewon exit 3, turn around toward Coldstone. Take a left down the street (you'll be heading South toward the red door black market place and the furniture stores). You walk maybe 200 meters, or halfway to the red door store, and you'll see it on the 3rd floor of a building. There is a sign. Just keep walking that direction and keep looking up.

As for controversial, yeah, I'm not getting into that... plenty of other sites for that sort of thing. Actually, I'm beginning to make some HD videos for now, and will probably do some of those for Youtube for a while. I am finishing one on the Cheongyechon pet store. I will make a continuing series of "things to do in Seoul" for newbies. Nothing fancy -- just HD video with narration telling you how to get there, and some shots.
