@ dokotrh - i went to school @ seoul, but the parties are at yonsei! Korea's a blast, and if you meet the right people they can really make the trip worth it.

Elric offers some good advice; study the things you can learn on your own so the class doesn't overwhelm you in the first weeks. In my personal experience in Korea, friends were the key to learning Korean quickly. Things like chatting on MSN messenger forced me to get my vocab and grammar straight.

Okok. At last I get the advices! Yeah I'm staying with a family and another student. So I hope that will help me alot. I hope I'll experience your way of living there. Did you only study Korean? And for how long? Are you fluent in Korean btw?
Thanks again for the advices

Thanks, I really appreciate it

And you said exactly what I feel. It's always yourself that create your own way of living. Btw, if you see a random white guy smiling alot, it's me :p

Yonsei isn't bad per se. It just has a different focus from other language schools. I.e. grammar / reading. I must stress I've had no personal experience of it but I hear this a lot. In anyyyyycase, you will have a great time..

My advice is not to study too hard though, esp if you're only here for 10 weeks.. Concentrate on having fun!

I hang around Sinchon (area around Yonsei) a lot so I'm sure we'll meet up sometime.

p.s glad my blog helped a little!
