Just by pure chance (via twitter) I came across this catchy song a few days ago. Someone twittered this video about the misfortunes of a young squirrel, it's such a nice and encouraging, inspirational, motivational video that I immediately decided to use it for my classes; besides, it's subtitled and commented, it's perfect!

I don't have time except my office hours to study. Fortunately there is a good site to learn Korean online. I'm studying for Seogang University online and it's free. In some ways studying online is better than the class. I can study on my own pace, have 100% interaction and meet at my own time. Here is the like to the…
