Korean Language School (ages 3-12, adult group), Oakland

Today there was a major heat wave in the SF Bay area, so after I braved the scorching park with my son, I decided to take him home and do some low key things with him. I decided to try to teach him some Korean words and phrases. I just wanted to see if he was receptive to learning some Korean. He was! He learned how to say: "hi, how are you doing?", "repeat after me", "door", "thank you", "you're welcome", "my names is _____", and "you don't say!/really?/is that so?"

I tried to turn it into a game for him to make it more fun, and he caught on VERY quickly. For practice, I let him record his voice with my cell phone app, Voice Recorder, so he could hear himself speak the words and phrases. It was a sneaky way for me to get him to repeat it into the microphone for practice, too! He had fun and we tried to keep as cool as possible inside for the rest of the day.

In my excitement, I told my husband about how many words Josh learned in one afternoon and he asked if we should enroll him in a Korean school to learn more. So, we looked on the internet and came across this great advertisement on Craigslist for a Korean Language School! I'm tempted to take a class myself, since I need to brush up on my Korean and learn more!

I want to pass on this information for anyone interested in taking a Korean Language class on Saturdays from September 11-December 11.

Here is the Craigslist ad:
