We'll see what she can do. <br /><br />The Koreans I've spoken to in Korean have generally been pretty impressed that I've made any effort, I guess since most people don't. Today this included the soldier I met at the temple on Chang-an Mountain. Using everything we both knew of each other's languages, he explained to me that the one building is a temple where soldiers go to pray and do Buddhist things, and the other is a temple for ordinary people (his words). He also showed me the peaceful little clearing on a prominence on the slope where there's a statue of the Buddha and another pagoda-looking stone monument. I also talked to a couple who were going up to see the temple or maybe climb the mountain, and back at home I talked to a Korean Jehovah's Witness. I actually used hardly any Korean with her because her English was leagues better than my Korean, but still not good enough for her to understand when I explained how wrong were the things she was trying to convince me of. I didn't use Korean until I decided to ask her silent friend, "영어로 말할 수 없어요?" (Can't speak English?) They thought it was neat. <br /><br />Man, I'd love to see Delicate Arch... so I guess I'll probably make a point of doing so. Sounds like a great trip.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918675492238901083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044648.post-69957140044618949592011-10-16T09:55:55.830-05:002011-10-16T09:55:55.830-05:00I am amazed at your analysis of the Korean languag...I am amazed at your analysis of the Korean language. It is good that you have a young, pliant mind so that you can learn at least a simplified version of all that. I hope the Koreans understand that someone speaking their language haltingly and with mistakes is better than someone always insisting on using English. Sometimes the French cannot accept broken French, they are such perfectionists about their language. Anyway, I'll be interested in hearing about your language progress. Being a genius always helps, too. Ha.<br /><br />Hope your friend can get the right ingredients for the cookies. <br /><br />We had a good time in Utah, and I did some hiking like we did in Oregon. Went to see Delicate Arch, which was a strenuous climb. Alice and Irene went with me while Grandpa saw some other arches by car.

Korean sounds difficult but knowing you abilities i languages, I will bet that you will be quite proficient by the end of one year.

(Of course I was on the women's side- big difference.) In the Japanese hot water pool, there's an area where they shoot little jolts of electricity through the water. It's supposed to be good for you, but I didn't care for it. Like the Koreans, Japanese take a shower before getting into a bath. Always.MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
