I’m wondering, what does this mean?
I worked at 7-11 in Daejeon when I was college student and I never leaned this.

Language practice, some call it. But the fact that I am older, much older than you means that you will listen to me. You will understand me.

Baldy, some call me, but my age definitely works in my favor for language comprehension purposes. PY VU WU WT GD, FQ LE MH GDF MEV JE FDF PU KEV KE?

funny how we can tell those things even if you don’t know the language well…. the gate guard at my barracks way back sounded certifiably retarded. He had one of those honking “Heeeeeey Guuuuuys!” type of voices… drove a bike to work, limited vocabulary, vacant stare with a stupid grin on his face all the time… scared the bejeezes out of me they gave this guy a loaded weapon.

I’m sure the audience went wild after you complained about media coverage of USFK. Real crowd pleaser, eh?

Dead silence… I could have heard a pin drop.

When I worked in Korea it all my Korean co-workers were female. My partner of 4 years is female. And you can’t learn from most middle age Korean men as they speak in monasyllabic grunts or try to impress you with their English. That leaves the 20 somethings, and lets be honest most of them speak like girly men.

Alas I feel doomed to speak like a girly man, but no, there is one chance for me. Ajumma’s speak like men, i should model myself on an ajumma.

I’m the dorky schmuck who isn’t pandering or acting like a jackass (and probably couldn’t even pass the DLAB to get into DLI).

Funny side note: I was under the impression that a ROK 대령 was going to judge all speeches, so I thought nothing of complaining about imbalanced media coverage of USFK. Low and behold, right before all this was to comence they announce that two KBS anchors would do the judging… whoops. At least that made the experience all the more self gratifying.

You’ll love me now, Brendon.

If there is anything that makes my ears cringe more than some young Korean women speaking in that incredibly annoying voice that some of them do, it’s her newbie ‘English teacher’ boyfriend who equates the ability to mimic her to fluency in Korean.
