Christopher Hales replied to Steven S. Bammel's discussion The KBC 9.9 with Daniel (February 2, 2011) - "What are the best ways to learn Korean?""I think this discussion brought up a good point about Korean. You can't just study the language. As with all languages, a person must study the culture as well. This is even more important with Korean because how you speak depends on the…"
Christopher Hales replied to Christopher Hales's discussion Korean Actor's Christmas Publicity Stunt in the group Korean Language Learners"You got the first one right, of course. The second question seems to have a little more to it though as far as I can tell. 설 does seem to be the snow character. 인 seems to be 사람 인. Putting those two characters together you get 설인, which is another…"
Steven S. Bammel replied to Christopher Hales's discussion Korean Actor's Christmas Publicity Stunt in the group Korean Language Learners"I'll go ahead and answer the questions:
1. University of Alaska
2. Looks like 설인자 (with 설 standing for the Chinese character for snow) is a play on words with 살인자. Considering that there's nothing murderous about the story, it…"

Korean Actor's Christmas Publicity Stunt
Recently I was reading a really interesting article. A Korean actor was driving around with a homemade "snowman" that he was calling his girlfriend. It was a pretty good publicity stunt. I thought of two questions to ask about the article.Read the article here:"박유천 여자친구? 설인자가 누구야"http://m.news.naver.com/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=106&oid=008&aid=0002456319Easy…See More

Håkan Söderström replied to Christopher Hales's discussion Reasons for learning Korean in the group Korean Language Learners"When I tell people I'm learning Korean they kind of freeze and start talking about the weather. If you're not based in Korea, learning the language seems to be about the wackiest idea that crossed their path that day. Probably because…"

Ondrej Slechta replied to Christopher Hales's discussion Just how many 한자? in the group Korean Language Learners"Steve, I see what you mean and I can imagine that a learner can naturally create associations between sounds and meanings as he goes (i.e. 신문지, 잡지, 휴지 ---> 지 = paper).

I initially came down to Jeollanam-do for a work assignment, but I'm in the process of transitioning up to Seoul. Mokpo is a great town. Really beautiful cherry blossoms in Yangnam not too far from there.
I hope to see you more around KBC.
