I received a package today from my cousin in Korea. I've been expecting a DVD but had no idea what to expect. I'm trying very hard to learn Korean by sort of immersing myself every day with podcasts, Rosetta Stone software, online flashcards, you name it. When my cousin found out that I'm trying to learn he immediately asked for my address.
Anyway, he sent me a DVD of a South Korean kids show called (okay, here's where my Hangul reading skills get tested) "ong an gul i ya angu." (?) It's hard to read because the letters are all jumbled together. It features a guy in a strange felt tamborine hat, cape, plaid cargo shorts, and skate shoes (he's usually in a big computer thing), an adorable little girl in pigtails, and a tiger whose markings are made of Hangul characters. Oh yeah, and a squid named Pupi/Bubi. It came with a little workbook/sticker book.
I watched about 30 minutes of it tonight and I do think it's going to help me. It's always good to hear native speakers speaking natively.
