Tonight I went to a free Korean class hosted by a wonderful Korean couple I met through an old co-worker. The man is also our banker so I get to see him when I transfer money home, and his fiancee is always more than generously kind to me.
I was astounded by how much I learned in one night and am sad I didn't attend sooner. My new co-worker lives down the hall from me and is already a diligent student of Korean, so I expect he'll help inspire me to put my language learning skills into full throttle and be an eager practice partner.
