You can read the first two entries here, and here.
A few things have happened since mid-January. Firstly, I booked my flight!! Weeee! Did it in late January at 'The Flight Centre.' I got semi-scammed by a fat bearded ginger bloke saying 'OMGOMG, YOU HAVE TO BOOK NOW!!!!! BEFORE THE JANUARY SALES CLOSE!!!!' As always, I am too
As well as throwing money at my nearest travel agents, I also booked and pre-paid a crapload of ££s to book my Korean tuition for this summer. And Holy Hairy Mother of Moses is that shit expensive. The average rate for 1:1 Korean tuition (in London anyway) is £50 PER HOUR! Yes, I know, DoubleYou-Tee-Eff. Luckily, after much cursing and research, I managed to find a place that did it for £40. Abusing my S-class charisma and negotiation skills*, I managed to get it down to £36 inclusive of books and materials. Woo! Though I've booked 32 hours of lessons from them, so.. well.. you can do the math. :|
As mentioned in my earlier entries, I've been trying to kickstart my Korean in prepartion for the tuition which will start in July. Unfortunately, my love affair with a program called Declan Software ended abruptly (though amicably) when I set my eyes on a Korean language series called Sogang Korean. This sexy little thing hits my intellectual G-spot as it's got a great audio CD which accompanies a textbook and a workbook. The slight downside is that you're meant to do some of the activities in a classroom environment. But that's ok, I can talk to myself in crappy Korean in front of a mirror for 30mins each day without going insane...

The final significant development is that I've been busy nagging my extensive network of 2 Korean friends to try to
Now I know what you're thinking as I was thinking what you are now thinking. (And I've already given it away). But y'know.. some "private", "intensive" "Korean tuition" with a cute 21-year old Korean girl?? We all know how that really works, GG NO RE KTHXBAI?!
Sadly however, kickstarting this particular part of my Korean learning didn't happen as...well, I don't want to be too harsh... but apparently they have McDonalds in Korea too. Hmmmm, Fuck, that was harsh. Sorry Mi.

I think I better leave it there! :|
Looking forward to any comments guys and thanks to those that posted encouragement last time <3.
