I recall watching Korea’s popular comedy show, Gag Concert, from the comfort of my cozy one room 아파트 (pronounced a-part-uh) many years ago. Prior to living in Korea, I had been warned that Koreans were passionate, i.e., slightly crazy. I had heard stories of angry girlfriends doing unthinkable things. I had personally witnessed a man…

It is time to start a new group. This time we will meet in iksan so this venture will be called the Iksan English Club. Marley Coffee is a fine establishment for our meetings. The manager is cool too. Join us every Friday at 7:30pm. Games and conversation. 원대 영어 회화 강사라내요. 영어 동냥 좀 해야…
