EPTHey TL,
As the past weeks have gone by, I've been told that I should rise up and teach Koreans for those who don't know in several places (mainly livestream while I translate PL/OSL/MSL games). I told these people (random TLers who I do not know mostly) that were interested that I would start sometime this month. I kinda gave a date which didn't occur due to many happenings in life (internship at ABC, fight with dad, college, drama, more drama, etc) but realized that I gave them a promise, so I have to fulfill it! So first off, I want to apologize many of those who waited and thought I would start last week or so with this but at the same time, I want to proudly present and announce that I will keep my promise and commit myself to do this in the very soon near future!
So introductions.... alright, I'm guessing many of you TLers probably have NO CLUE what I am talking about and think I'm crazy about me teaching Korean language to random TLers via livestream for free. Yes, I am crazy, I am doing this for free, and I'm going to do it weekly style and start it off like a webcast of how Day9 would run his shows. That means, I'll show my face, I'll discuss some Starcraft (and Korean obviously), and have a webcam, some sort of board to write and show, and various materials to give you the teachings of that particular week. Why? Why go so far for people you don't know, will never meet, and don't have a single clue what sort of stalker will watch me? Because you guys are teamliquid and I'm from TL and TL is like home to me. And since all of you TLers are also in TL, that practically make us like family of 1000000000s of brothers and 1-10 sisters. Right? RIGHT?!?!?!
Finally, I'll leave this blog for questions and answers regarding the upcoming initial series of QuickStriker's teachings of Korean language/culture as I'll gladly any answers that haven't already been answered and not been said on the OP. So without further ado.... some rundown:
Rundowns:
+ Show Spoiler +
Expected starting date: August 30? (60% likely atm)
Expected day to run per week: Sundays (85% likely)
Expected time of the show: Evenings around 8 or 9 PM and last an hour or two in EASTERN STANDARD TIME. (70% likely)
Expected ethnicity background of the teacher: Korean (100%!!!)
Purpose of the class:
This class is a supplement and not meant to be the sole resource to learn Korean. It’s nice to refresh and use as supporting device in order to learn Korean. But since you probably won’t (or use) time to learn Korean by your own, you won’t get gain much. But I’ll try to at least help you understand the basic level of Korean, and also at least motivate you to learn Korean by yourself when you graduate from my class.
Some reasons why you would want to learn Korean:
1. To understand Korean commentaries more in SC games
2. To understand the Korean style/language/nature of the commentary.
3. To understand the Korean mindset/thought process/culture seen in SC matches and also when meeting an actual Korean.
4. To score a Korean girl.
5. YOU CAN TALK TO CHILL!
QS’s personal goals:
1. Increase the general knowledge of Korean on TL at least by 1%
2. Have at least 50% of TLers knowing how to say/write their name in Korean
3. Have at least 5 people who can become as 1/4 good as I am in Korean.
5 Points of Korean language into real world:
1. Food
2. Name
3. Girl
4. Starcraft
5. Soju
Equipment to invest and buy for me to start teaching:
1. Voice set (Check!)
2. Korean keyboard (Check!)
3. Dual monitor (Check Just realized yesterday, my desktop can't support dual monitor 
)
4. Head set (Check!)
5. Webcam(Still required.... trying to find a very cheap one atm under 20.... can't find) CHECK!
6. White board or dry erase board + related materials (Still required... trying to wait for super sale season at Staples)
Note regarding equipment: I'm spending my own money so I'm going to buy and invest in the cheapest items I can find until further notice. Currently, all the ones I have with me are VERY cheap like this 10 dollar voice set, a 5 dollar headphones, and Korean keyboard I brought for 10 dollars when I was at Korea a year ago... So expect the class to be VERY CHEAP ORIENTATED! (Because it's free)

Lastly, I am informing and telling all of you that if anyone really wish to learn Korean, this Korean class shouldn't be the ONLY SOURCE to learn Korean as you'll won't gain much. As stated in the rundown section. And I am sorta in need of graphics designers and some helpers for those who are interested to make my life easier. This is a community project I want to start on TL so let's make it happen folks!
Also, if a lot of interest sparks up here and all over TL, I will make another thread under TL Community regarding this as an actual official thread (LRish? :D) when the show start. Thanks!
Edit: SCREW YOU WHOEVER CAME IN TO PUT INSTANT ONE STAR THE MOMENT I MADE THIS THREAD! (had to say it... sorry, pisses me off, seriously, that one person who does it to every blog I ever made... grrr...)
