Just a short note on confidence builders in the last week.
I’ve been chatting a little with Koreans on several sites (mostly sharedtalk; no link because I don’t really like the site) recently to try to add variety to how I approach some pretty typical topics of an intermediate nature; nothing overly complicated. Things like lifestyles, family, interests, travel, etc. Stuff that you will talk about with people all the time… nice conversation starters, those kind of things.
Anyway, what’s the confidence aspect? Well, sorry to gloat… but I’ve been asked if I’m Korean… three times!
This makes me pretty happy… Next step, sound like a Korean… even more important since looking like a Korean is out of the question
