Mens of Letters

Hehe.. got my first letter back from my penpal and it was excellent and humbling. The penpal is, by nurture or nature, a teacher.

I received some corrections and a letter back with some new verbs and very simple terms. I could figure it out (translation dictionary in hand), but it stretched me.

The humbling bit? Missing a marker like “에서” (meaning “from”). Crap, I’d just “learned” that one. ;-)

Yet, with that having happened, “에서” should now be burnt into my brain just above the spot where the lizard things end and where the pornography ones begins. Meaning, this marker should not be forgotten! ;-)

I will be, forever, a bloody 에서 (uh… you need to do that phonetically, and mispronounce it a bit, to understand the “joke”).

It’s all part of the five week plan.

Because that is as long as I can stay on one. ;-p

Not that I would stop trying to learn, but I hope this 5 weeks will demonstrate that I can learn something in a different language.

As it turns out (I await the “I told you so” guffaws)? I may be too stoopid to learn a new language. ;-)

Luckily, I’m not to stoopid for RawknRoll and so I’m off to the store to purchase a beer. Then back home to listen to “Tommy”.

I’m sure it will make me wish that I were Canadian.
