Ingrid is so clever

안 녕하 시요?
저는 잉그리드 입니다. 저는 뉴질랜드사람 입니다. 저는 영어 선생님 입니다.
Wow! are you impressed? It says: "Hello, how are you? I am Ingrid. I am a New Zealander. I am an English teacher".

It took me forever to type that because i keep thinking of the English keyboard, so when i want to type a word starting with an 'n' my finger goes to the place on our keyboard when 'n' is, but no, its not there on the Korean keyboard! Its a total mind-spin.
Here I go again, this time I am ordering myself a mochaccino:
모카치노 한찬 주세요. (maw-ka-chi-naw hanjan joo-seh-yaw)

and...
식당이 극장 백회잠 사이에 있어요. The restaurant is between the cinema and the department store.
cool, hey! you cannot fail to be impressed.

I'm totally impressed!! Are you picking up quite a bit from being there? or are you taking lessons?

Hope your voice comes back soon!

And we are VERY impressed, Ingrid! You're obviously not spending all your spare time playing sudoku.

Just heard about your blog a few minutes ago from your mum, here in chch. We'll be reading more as the months go by.

Love,
Len and Jenni

well you might as well have typed in russian or icelandic, because on our computer, none of the korean characters have come through - only a row of little empty squares!!! Love, Mom
