Korean Classes

Back in September, Neil and I started taking Korean classes on Wednesday and Friday mornings (10-12p). At first we thought we could handle it but we were in way over our heads!

After doing two hours of class and then to teach a full day of classes (5 to 7 classes with only 5 minute breaks in between), we were completely exhausted! Let alone try to do our homework. After about two months, we called it quits. Especially since we just started teaching and there was sooooo much we have yet to learn. 

Alas, we still wanted to continue learning Korean so we decided to enroll in classes again. This time we're only taking classes on Saturday so we still have our weekdays to concentrate on work. Although work is getting a bit easier, we rather not make ourselves too busy.

In our new class, there's an American couple, a Thai girl and a Nepalese guy. They all seem really nice and some are a bit further ahead than others. The first two classes felt like a bit of review so that's really good, not to be behind right out of the gates. I can see how this class would be very intense if you only take it once a week because it covers two chapters a week. So I'm very glad this is our second time around. 

We are definitely committed to finishing this and who knows, maybe move up to the next level :)
