  Speaking

With today’s post comes my very first progress video in Korean - of course it’s really slow and full of mistakes but I’m determined to show you the ‘warts and all’ stages as I improve in the language.

Today I’ve decided to share a few lessons with you that I learned from almost marrying a girl in Egypt - a girl who only spoke Arabic. No English.
