Wow, thanks for that link to other countries’ shows! I had no idea there were other countries listed other than the featured ones! It was always hit and miss for me to discover shows from other countries. See how much I learn from Discussion Board! :grin:

They are really hidden. Was there anything you were able to watch, though? Most of it is not licensed here.

No matter how rich a person is , they always dry their clothes on a line …

Where else? The super-rich don’t do that, they have maids to do it.
Ah, you mean a dryer? Why would one want to use a dryer when it’s nice and sunny? I also have a washer-dryer, but I use the dryer function like 10 times per year, when it’s rainy and the clothes would take a lot to dry. Apart from the fact that the dryer takes ages and consumes lots of energy, outside in the air is always more hygienic. The sun can do wonders for clothes. It kills all microbes and even removes staining. I remember when my son was a baby I put all his soiled nappies after washing. You know that even after washing there’s always a faint brownish shadow? Well, after a few hours in the Greek sun, the nappies were all sparkling white again.
I suppose that if you live in a place with a long rainy and cloudy season, you would use it a lot more.

yeah most of Asia has a lot of nice sunshine, so we don’t really use dryers…

Try Duolingo.com. They have Korean language for free and Hangul is taught right off and it’s easy to learn and test yourself. Audio and visual. Please forget about using romanizaion. That’s what is messing you up anyway. Learn the sound that goes with the letter and you’ll pick it up fairly fast.

I found this extremelllly helpful…its not a joke, you can actually learn it in 30 minutes!
And yeah, just leave romanization. It’s just a headache, its wayyyy easier learning hangul-- only 14 consonants and 10 vowels!

  • I did not know that “eating ramyeon at one’s place” is a sexual innuendo? Or something like that

Haha… About the ramyeon thing, I guess it has become a sort of American equivalent of “Would you like to come up for a drink?”
