Hey, the site is looking promising. FYI: It took me a few minutes to figure out how to actually listen to the podcast. I was about to give up and leave a comment, so I scrolled to the very bottom and that’s where I saw the “play” button. You might think about making it more prominent. Otherwise a good first show!

Also, I lost my place in the podcast when I submitted my comment. Dang. That’s a problem with the video podcast I watch regularly (WinelibraryTV) as well, though, so I don’t know if that’s something that can be fixed.

Great podcast! I’m listening from Minnesota, waiting to hear if I will be in Korea teaching this year and have been listening to Karl’s backlog of podcasts for some perspective. I was wondering if you plan to cover any survival Korean or share some of your experiences as Westerners using Korean. Thanks for all your hard work! Looking forward to the future podcasts!

Great ideas, Lane. You know, we really should do that. I wish I had something like that when I first came. In the meantime, the Kimchi Girls are also entertaining for Korean, and for beginners, I have found that the Survival Korean book by Steven Revere teaches really quickly. Basic Korean is not as hard as you think and may be the easiest of the east Asian languages for English speakers to learn, IMHO.

Hey, glad to see and hear that this podcast is being kept alive. Too bad you lost your Canadian partner … try to find another one please. Karl, good luck finding a job in Canada … I’ll buy you a Korean dinner and all the Soju you can drink when I visit Toronto during the month of July. I think you’ll be pleased with the three Koreatowns we have now.

Yeah I found that when I immigrated to Canada they were all like Sir or Officer etc…So like no emotion.

One other thing I miss about Korea is the being able to drink anywhere you like…I was on a beach in some provinical park here in Ontario and I got a 125dollar fine for drinking a beer on the beach…
