토니

That's my name in Hangul, the Korean writing system. I'm trying to pick it up to make things a little easier over here. My school computer has a dual keyboard that lets me type in Hangul so that's pretty fun sometimes although I don't know what I'm saying. My phone has a sweet English-Korean dictionary too that makes it easy to translate when I'm out and about.

영 This means English, pronounced yung.

I have a sound chart posted next to my desk. If anyone wants to help me study leave a comment and I will try to figure out your name and post it back.

Hey Tony!
It was very funny watching grandma try to IM with you yesterday! (classic)
Anyways, when you go to the grocery store isn't it sorta hard to get the food you want if they can't understand you? (Or the other way around) Just a question we went to a European market lately and it was very confusing... we tried to buy lunch there, it was pretty funny! (lukely a nice older lady helped us 'cause she spoke Russian)
Love ya,
-Eilee
(What would my name be in Korean?)

리 should be Lee, that's pretty straightforward. 꾀려 I think could be Gayle now lets see if I can tackle Meredith : : : : 뭬 뤠 뛔ㄷ might be close?????? Eilee, I forgot to answer your question: I do a lot of pointing and miming.

forgot to tell you - we just got back from Elton John in concert - in Fairbanks!!! It was very cool, just him at his piano playing most of his standards and doing a few new pieces. lots of fun, you could tell which of us was around when these songs were new!! ha ha
Lee took 4 minutes of video on my camera, it'll be interesting to see how it turned out. love ya gayle
thanks for tackling our names, now we should learn how to pronounce them :)
