EPTHey TL,
Before I start off my real point, I'm going to tell a little story..so if you don't want to read, don't click spoiler and follow along onto the next part.
+ Show Spoiler +
So on my last blog, I have stated that I would surely start this initiative of creating a Korean webcast class on TL during every Sundays in hopes to increase the Korean culture and knowledge and language among all of you and the average TLer. I have not forgotten that promise and decided that I am still up for it despite my TERRIBLE TERRIBLE weekly schedule that I forced upon myself for the next 3 months:
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/7800/deathschedule.gif)
Basically this shows that on Mondays and Wednesdays, I gotta wake up at 6:30 (1.5 hour to get ready, 1.5 to drive to school), then leave at 9:30 and drive another 1.5 hours to go back home. Not so bad right?
But what about on Tuesdays and Thursdays night? I go to school by driving (1.5 hour ride), park, go to class. I finish my class at 5, have to somehow to get my internship in an hour of NYC Subway ride which will take about 55 minutes to an hour and 15, internship till 10 (if I'm late, I'll make up time to stay a little later..), take an hour and half back to school (off-peak hours so less subway) which is like 11:30 PM, then drive 1.5 hours back home (1 AM?) and somehow sleep and wake up in time for next following day which starts 9:30 or 9 respectively. I don't know about you but only a machine can survive this sort of schedule...
So basically, how the hell am I going to prepare myself to do this, my radio show, be president of student productions club, take 4 class, and commit 16 hours of internship + work on saturdays and church on sundays... I have no clue since I only get to start this drama next week so I'll fill you on that possibly on my next blog...

I just wanted to show you what I'm like in real world for all you non-believers (and why I can't get a job aside from this who all told me to get a job... seriously..). So now to the main point. I have finally brought a webcam more expensive than I thought and got almost all equipment to set up a webcast show for ya. So before I begin my official first episode (which btw, 90% likely it starts 9/5 instead of 8/30), I'll have a test pilot EPISODE 0 to see if I can really do this and overcome my nervous/shyness to cast a show.
The stream will be on this Sunday at the regular schedule time I stated for the regular episodes at
So copied from my last blog, the rundown of this class:
+ Show Spoiler +
Expected starting date: August 30? September 5th for first episode (100% likely atm)
Expected day to run per week: Sundays (90% likely)
Expected time of the show:Evenings around 8 or 9 PM and last an hour or two in EASTERN STANDARD TIME 8:30 to 10 PM EST for now (80% likely)
Expected ethnicity background of the teacher: Korean(100%!!!) 150%!!!!
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!) - 10 dollars
2. Korean keyboard (Check!) - 10 dollars in Korea
3. Dual monitor (Check Just realized yesterday, my desktop can't support dual monitor 
)
4. Head set (Check!) - 5 dollar earphone
5. Webcam CHECK! - Logitech Webcam C260
6. White board or dry erase board + related materials (Still required but won't need for episode 0 I think.. and waiting for cheaper price)
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)

So I figured since this is technically unofficial show for the moment since I'm going to test episode to see how I can do and go from there, it's optional for you to come and watch me or not. But note that you won't start learning Korean on this day. Just some tests to get myself started. I'll give an update when I start this on Sunday night on this blog by crossing out everything and spoiling all and just put a link above all so you know it started. For any questions, comments, suggestions (like what particular VOD you want me to go over), etc etc, please say it here on this blog!
So now I got that straighten out, LET'S DO THIS! WOOT!
Edit #2: Really, one star again? Who the hell gives me an instant one star whenever I make a blog. God, if I quit doing this class, it'll be all because of you mr." I'll-1-star-every-blog-QS-make..." a big F and U to you. Rageeeeee......
