#11 Becoming a real English leanner Yesterday, I took a English class on Skype. My tutor is a cute British girl who wants to be a English teacher abroad in future. She is learning in French now, so she knows how difficult work it is. We talked about our learning methods and she wanted to know how I studied by myself. So I said to her, I watched lots of Youtube vlogging videos thesedays. I really enjoy watching them a lot! Some people have great habits which is so useful and some people have terrible accents when they speak. I realize there are various kinds of ways to live and I'd like to meet them as many as possible. I am ready to share with people about my stories, like learning second languages as an asian, how to cook in some Korean foods as well. I'll write them down step by step.

#1 Presentation Soy Elley. Encantada. Yo vivo en Corea del Sur. Tengo cuarenta años. Ahora, no tengo trabajo. Yo voy a visitar España Mayo o Junio. Quiero visitar muchos lugares. Quizás Madrid o Barcelona. Es me primera vez visitar España. Yo empiezo estudiar Español hace diez dias. Me gusto hablar con unas personas. Yo deseo estudiar Espanol. * No tengo el teclado. Tengo que aprender lo. ** While I typed, I learnt it. Thank you for reading this article.

#9 Gardening I had a wish that I have a beautiful garden with lots of beautiful flowers and trees. But I never had a garden while I lived in Seoul. After moving here, in Jeju, I had a space for gardening. N is always taking care of that by herself. Yesterday and today, we plucked grass in the garden. The wind was so fresh, little bit cold though. I listened to music and talked with N. I didn't had enough energy to care of garden and housechores perfectly. But these days I feel very comfortable and peaceful. So I could concentreate on real life more. I am expecting spring time. I am going to stay much time in my garden with warm heart. :)

#8 Exchange our mind Yesterday I had first English lesson on italki. It was informal lesson like normal chatting but really enjoyable and good time for me. My teacher is young Kiwi woman(New Zealander). She is really friendly and generous. I travelled New Zealand almost 8 years ago. So I really love nature of NZ and Kiwi people so much. We talked about travelling and our daily life. I was little bit nurvous first time but soon I could tallk a lot. Actually I was too talkative. Today I spoke with Moroccan girl who want to learn Korean. It was also first conversation to use skype with exchange partner to me. Her English was very good. She said she's learnt English on italki. Wow, I really love here now. We talked about our difficulties as language learners. I gave her some Korean sentences, she said she's also enjoyed a lot. I am too excited and satisfied now. I didn't have many chances to have very exciting conversations like today. I hope English'll give me many experiances and new friendship with others.

#6 What a disaster! This morning, I watched a few youtube videos. Then I went to the kitchen. Suddenly I reallized there were a lot of water on the kitchen floor. I was really surprised. Water was overflowed from the laundry machine because the drain was blocked. I took water out of the floor for a long time. It was not easy. I had to go for work in a hurry without having lunch. I wanted to cut my hair shortly for this afternoon. I sometimes really hate my long hair which have to wash often and dry for a long time. Anyway the floor might need to dry for a long time. But nobody hurts and my pets are alright so I think it is not very bad situation. But it was a pretty tough day!

#5 My cute Valentines #5 My cute Valentines Today was Valentine's Day. Many Koreans give their lovers some chocolates and tell how much love them. Two kids gave me some chocolates. I was happy and sorry at once. Because I am going to quit in only two weeks. This work is just one-year-contract and I don't want to stop in the middle of semester. But I didn't tell students anything. I heared that two class teachers of 1st grade will leave school at the end of this year. I feel little bit sorry. I was concerned about keep working for 3 or 4 months more but that might be not good choice for them. so I changed my mind. They are storonger than I thought. All kids will get used to new teacher soon, I will do that too. They gave me a lot of love for last one year. cuties!! I will spend great time with them tomorrow again! #4 Listen all stories I learnt how to read date. A few day ago, I wanted to know it. I didn't know it exactly. Then I found Lucy's youtube video! Sometimes that I want is showing up in front of me like magic! That's so amazing! I appreciate it all of magic! And finally spring vacation in school, I have to work though. Weather is so great like real spring! Heun's gone to Seoul early morning. Her face is very bright and looks so happy. We hugged for a while. She might think of me and this time which we had together when she eat some Korean souces that we made together here. She is calm and peaceful and listen carefully even though my dogs breathing. I was very touched from her. We all have each stories, all stones, trees, all drops of water... They have their own stories. I want to listen about these. I am going to listen all ears. - I uploaded this article this morning, but I choose wrong : This entry is 'Korean' written in I couldn't find how to change it so I copy this again here. I want to learn from my mistakes. Thanks!

#3 Such a Perfect Day! I love this song 'a perfect day' song by Jolly boys. I researched the lyrics of the song a few days ago. Music video is also wonderful and easy going. Especially I love the last lyrics : "I am going to reap what you sow." Today it's a perfect day for me. Heun, M and I took for a walk. We talked and talked together. My neighbor gave us special healthy food eel soup. I felt it was so thankful. We enjoyed it a lot. Heun said about her life and study in India. She spent very hard time there because of different wether, culture, language barrier etc. We burnt netural powder incense which she gave me a gift and did yoga together. It gave me very relax feeling and atmosphere. I could breathe from my abdomen well. I rested comfortable. Every moments is very important and valuable. Talking and sharing our mind with friends are very precious in our life.

#2 The Guest from India Yesterday, It was snowy all day. I was a bit excited like a kids. I had to work in the morning becuase of graudate. Some kids made snow men and played with snow. Afternoon HEun visited my home. She was not healthy during being India. She left Korea at July last year, but we both felt same thing which the half year was not very long time. And she has many stories to tell me. She want to enjoy Korean food much here, but her stomach is not fine now. So She made the hot water bottle and got it all evening. I made a pumpkin soup for her. She enjoyed it so much, she ate just a little soup though. Heun is practicing ascetucism in Tibet buddhism in India. She was very a common Korean girl but now she looks so more comfortable and relaxed than before. We took for a long walk along the seashore. We talked about our daily life which is not very easy. Also I spend relaxing time like holiday with her.
