A Language Exchange Partner from Netherlands

Almost one month ago I read a post at Craigslist in which a lady was finding someone who can teach her Korean language. She wanted to learn Korean language. At that time I sent a mail to her. Finally at last Saturday we met at a Starbucks in Bellevue Square.

I introduced my wife to her. They will meet twice or 3rd time a week to teach each other. Even though she's from Netherlands her English is very fluent. The reason why she need to learn Korean is that she and her boy friend will meet his mother in Korea at this September. Her boy friend can hardly speak Korean because he was adopted in US when he was a baby.

To say hello to his real mother, her mother-in-law, she tries to learn Korean. She's wise and very thoughtful. I feel sad to hear real story of adopted Korean.

(한국어를 배우고 싶다는 네덜란드 처자를 연락해서 지난 토요일 만났습니다. 아내의 언어 교환 파트너로 연결 시켜 주었죠. 영어 솜씨는 막힘이 없는 정도로 아내의 버벅임을 고쳐줄 충분한 실력이 되더군요. 남자 친구의 친어머니를 올 9월에 한국에 들어가서 만나기로 했고 거기서 한동안 있고 싶어 한국어를 배우고 싶다네요. 남자친구는 어릴 때 미국으로 입양되어서 한국어를 못하고. TV에서만 보던 이야기네요. 일본어, 중국어도 할 줄 안다는 23살 처자, 참 이쁘고 똑떨어지더군요.)
