How I Study Korean: Part 2 This is an update from a post that I did a long time ago titled How I Study Korean. That post covered my entire journey from when I first started up until August of 2017. Since then a lot has changed in the way that I study, but…

2 Year Blog Anniversary
2 Year Blog Anniversary As hard as it is for me to believe that I've been in Korea for over a year, it's even harder for me to believe that it's been two years since I started this blog. When I started writing here I was a senior in college and Korea was still…
My First Winter in Korea: Video
My First Winter in Korea: Video It's worth mentioning that I'm from Florida. So to be fair this is really the first winter of my entire life. I imagine that the freezing weather and snow get old after a few years but I have to say that I'm surprised how much I enjoyed the…

Day in the Life 3: First Week of School
Since I've been slow on posts lately I thought I'd do another day in the life! This particular day was March 8th. I think it's possible that I'm still not over my jet lag since coming back from America because I found myself wide awake before my alarm had gone off at 6:00. No complaints…

This is going to be a different sort of post. Because sometimes it's 6:00am and you've been up since 4:00am thanks to jet lag and suddenly you just really want to take some pictures and write a blog post. So here we are. I've been wanting to do something about k-beauty for a while now…

However, as Daejeon is much smaller than Seoul and there are significantly fewer international people living here, the amount…
Understanding Your Student’s English
Understanding Your Student's English When you first get to Korea there will be a lot of things that you don't understand. Unfortunately some of those things will be what your students are saying, in English, in an attempt to talk to you. I always always try to at least pretend like I know what…
One Year in Korea
I have been in Korea for a year. Today is the last day of school and I'm writing this from my desk as the office is descending into utter chaos while the grade three students storm in and out with questions for their home room teachers about if they're having a snack party later, what…
