Dear Korean,
I am learning Korean and my formal classes at the Korean Cultural Center begin later this year. In the meantime, I would like to immerse myself in dialogue outside a class/ study environment and in the casual setting of the summer social scene.
I am outgoing & meet lots of young-adult Korean-Americans but they do not speak Korean. Am I correct to assume that newly arrived Korean-speaking young adults are very scarce. So, finding a tutor at a university may be too formal but that's the best option I can think of, what do you think?

There is an even better option: put out an APB through this blog! If you are interested in becoming a Korean language buddy with ALK, reach out to her at aaraliesels@gmail.com. (The email is posted here with the questioner's permission.)

May I plug this, due to it's immense usefulness? This website honestly changed my life and is responsible for 95% of the Korean I know these days: http://www.conversationexchange.com/
ReplyDeleteThe selection differs from city to city, but living in Boston, I have never been short of a language partner or 5.
DeleteAmerican Learning Korean, Please let me know if I can be of help. I, too, live in the Washington D.C area and have resources available for you to learn Korean quickly. Thanks!!!
