한국어/영어 언어 교환 이벤트! 언어 교환이 뭐냐구요? 일종의 물물교환입니다. 내가 한국어를 가르쳐주는 대신 저쪽에서 내게 영어를 가르쳐 주는 파트너 프로그램이에요. 다음의 영문 공지를 읽어보세요. 읽기에 버거우신 분들은 연락주시면 한국어로 설명해 드리겠습니다. 좌석이 한정되어 있으므로 참석 여부 확인 (RSVP)과 선금을 해 주셔야 하니 빨리 신청하세요.
_____________________________________________
It's that time of the month, my friends!
Come on out to a total-immersion experience, practicing your Korean/English! For all levels!
This is a language exchange in a very relaxed group setting, almost like a study-group.
For one hour, you will help others learn and practice language of their interest. In exchange, they will help you learn and practice language of your interest! At the end of the event, you may be able to find a future language partner!
Seating is limited and first-come, first serve basis. Pre-payment is required.
Currently I am taking 8 from each language pair: English-Korean and Korean-English.

WHEN
Saturday, October 24, 2009
2 - 5 PM

WHERE
In the heart of Koreatown, Los Angeles, CA
Exact address will be provided when you RSVP.
---------------------------------------------
WHO CAN COME:
1. You have to be a native English speaker or equivalent if you want to learn Korean, and vice versa.
2. You have to commit to help others learn too. This is "language exchange." In exchange of learning and practicing what you want to learn and practice, you also have to teach and help others do the same.
3. On this note, you must commit to whole 3 hours.
4. You have to be punctual. This is a group activity. If you are late, everyone has to wait for you. Not cool.
5. You must pre-pay to have your seat guaranteed.

When you RSVP, please include following information:
(1) Your name (first and last)
(2) The language you are trying to learn/practice: English or Korean
(3) Level of language you want to practice: Beginners, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced
Example: John Doe, Intermediate Korean
(This would mean you want to practice Korean, and you speak intermediate level Korean).
To self-assess your level, read this:

Still not sure of your level? Email your Organizer Zeanie Yoon to get a free evaluation session on the phone.

"Maybe" is a "No." Please do not RSVP as "yes" as it unfairly takes away a seat from a member who can come for sure. Thanks for your thoughtfulness in advance.
