They all look good (how long did you tell me you've been studying??), but I would add í in the last one, after Seo, and é after Sin in the 3rd sentence. Strictly speaking, they aren't necessary for understanding -which is why they tend to be omitted in speech at times- but somebody's gotta be a stickler at times. ;)
