The Next Step

Signs that I am moving further in my learning of Korean: I finally went to Yongsan and picked up an English-Korean electronic dictionary and some hangul stickers for my keyboard!
Ooooo...

Ahhhhh...

I have probably put it off for a few reasons. One, I am not a techno geek, so owning more electronic things don't interest me so much. Another is that I am not a techno geek, so looking around techno geek stores like iPark is a little overwhelming. I was getting sick of it though, because not having a dictionary really sets me behind in understanding most of the Korean teaching resources that I have. The vast majority of them are badly done, and the good ones still don't have good glossaries. Most of them require extra resources to use them. The stickers are a huge help too. Unlike Chinese, to use the Korean alphabet on the computer I kind of needed a keyboard guide. Korean has letters, so the keyboard is set up with the letters in certain places. Without the letter guide on the keyboard, I'd probably hurl the computer out the window out of frustration from all the random guessing. Therefore, I couldn't use hangul at all on my computer.

All that has changed! Yay for getting off my butt!

안녕!
