Hello everyone, this is Carrie again. (Why am I doing all the posts???) Anyway, for the past six weeks we have been taking Korean at the Gwangju International Center (or GIC). The GIC is a great non-profit organization in our city, which helps the foreign community by providing an English library, counseling services, helpful advice, programs, tours, and classes. A lot of Korean university students volunteer there as interns in order to meet foreigners and develop their English language skills. We have been enjoying our own Korean language classes there. We attend every Tuesday and Thursday evening, and the first 6 week long session just ended. We can now read in Korean and know several words and phrases, like "I would like (blank)," "Do you have any (blank)" and lots of random words like body parts and numbers. We can introduce ourselves, say where we are from, and can even sing happy birthday! Anyway, we had a small class and a great teacher and it has been really enjoyable. We will continue taking classes and have already signed up for the next session. Here is a picture of our class! :)

How fun!!! Can't wait to hear you speak Korean when you're back :)
