A Korean Tutor at Last?

The same friend from church that told me about Seorak Mountain has offered to give me the Korean tutoring I so desire. I am to bring my Korea National University textbook from orientation to church next week so we both have something to work with. I hope it goes well. I really do want to learn the language. I thought being in a rural area like this one would accelerate that learning, but I am finding that ironically no one knows enough English to instruct me. I pick up things through osmosis (more properly called diffusion, but that’s idiom for you) of course, but I’d also like some formal training. Perhaps next semester I can enroll in weekend courses at a larger city, but for now, the tutoring will be appreciated.
