Moo lie oh (I don't know)

I've started to learn basic phrases by asking my students for suggestions. Beyond the basic 'hello', 'goodbye', and 'thank you', I can now form a coherent series of sentences that sound like "choy young e hay. sarang e yo. sa-tang joo sayo".

It translates to: "Shut up. I love you. Give me candy."

I'm considering making more specific translation requests in the future.
"Teach me something!" may not be enough.

In other news, I'm in a play. :) It will be my first performance since high school, and I'm psyched. The title is "English Made Simple" by David Ives, and it's part of a series of one acts produced by The Gwangju Performance Project through the Gwangju International Center. We'll perform on May 5th and 6th, so apologies for any delay in future blog posts.
I have some memorizing to do...
