my class in dalian is 50/50 japanese and korean and yes, the koreans are young, and don't act very
mature. some can learn characters really fast but their phonetics are like, what language are you
speaking??? otherwise i feel for you because when my teacher tries to get any kind of interactive
dialogue going they they all k/j just clam up. me, the only american is thus left being chatty and
afterawhile i just don't want to be the barking seal.

cheers

jd that's not necessarily a bad thing since you get to practice speaking. Take advantage of it. It
may be awkward at first but it will kind of be like a 1 v 1 class for you if everyone else is
clammed up...

hi,friend,
i konw your problem.i am director of a chinese school which only offord chinese training in
kunming,i charge the foreign things in this school include to arrange the student visa and study
program and so on.also i konw the problems of overseas students and the problems of this
market.some chinese schools are not very strict to manage foreign students,they just konw how to
get the tutions,to earn money.and also for the foreign students,some of them just want to get the
student visa,and don't want to stay in the classroom,but try to learn chinese speaking by chinese
girls.but for the chinese schools will face to very big competition in the future,because the
goverment of china want to make chinese be the second world language,they will make the new laws
about this market.so the chinese school will not let the bad students destroy the reputation of
school.

To me, Koreans remain a most baffling bunch In Harbin all my classmates were Korean, nearly all
girls (they tend to be more serious than the guys).

Anyway the class kind of naturally divided into two. There were the party girls who smoked, went
to the discos and got drunk most nights, basically tried to do their best impression of the
Russian girls. Then there were the hard-working, quiet, religious (every night they went to
church, and at the weekends), chaste girls. And no-one in the middle.

I think the guys don't tend to get into the higher classes because they spend too much time at the
dodgy massage parlours!

It's a huge generalization I know, but although I find the Koreans very nice to deal with on a
personal level I have found their culture most unpenetrable and unsettling, for instance how they
can't get more than two minutes into a conversation without knowing if you are married or not, and
whether you are younger or older than they are. Certainly bamboozles me.

Probably checking how available you are, you lucky guy.

They need to know how old you are because they need to know if you are older or younger than they
are. Apparently in Korean culture, even more than in Chinese, you respect and obey older people
and are in turn respected and obeyed by younger people, and this includes friends of about the
same age. Koreans usually don't even call each other by name, it seems, always elder/younger
brother/sister. (So my roommate called her boyfriend 'oppa', older brother, which I thought was a
bit weird for of addressing a boyfriend.)
Don't know about the marriage thing, but I also get it from taxi drivers and other random people
here.

I agree with Lu. It took me sometime to understand that. I respect people for their ideas and
thoughts not for their age. I think the Koreans are born to become traditional authoriterian
managers.
