"That's extremely impressive Steve. I think I would be very tempted to submit my assignments in English if given the option, for I know that my Korean writing skills leave a lot to be desired. One last question, were you able to do the program…"

"That's amazing that you decided to go for submitting tests and taking assignments in Korean. I remember you saying that you felt you know only about 10% of the language in one of your blog posts, did this not greatly hold you back in your…"
