Learning How to Read and Write Hangul

Learn Korean - Learn How to Read and Write Hangul

So I am officially learning Korean for the first time. I have began reading a scholarly book called "Korean for Dummies." Korean for dummies is a great title right? For me it is because this book is not only teaching me about Korean culture and language but I am actually reminding my brain about vowels, consonants, verbs and other grammar rules and principals that have long been forgotten as far as my english us is concerned.
This is a quote from Korean for dummies. Eh hem "Formal english is coming to a slow demise. The few times that we ever hear or use it is in situations that we'd rather avoid. . . " The Wiley "For Dummies" Brand surely knows there audience id say.
Anyhoo back to my Korean quest. Yes, I have also got my hands on Rosetta Stone Korean 1-2- and 3 software. This language product might cost over $500 dollars might I add. Is it worth it? Well let's just say I love it! so far, but also feel like an idiot screaming at the screen in "Korean" in the middle of a lesson. Learning another language can be loud and painful. I feel a bit justified and better even though because I got Rosetta Stone American English for my Korean girlfriend and now begin to hear her screaming at the computer screen in the same manner.
As for my Korean speaking skills they are nothing to brag about as of yet. Id rather say "Fish" than "Moo-Guh-Gee" and Id also find it easier to say Cat than it is pronounced in Korean. Today I am learning the vowels though and how to write so its kinda coming together. :) I love "Korean dramas" and watch them all the time (especially Jolly Widows) so now I can aspire to know what is going on in the Korean TV shows without the subtitles.
I have also downloaded some Korean applications for my iphone. Saavy eh? One of them came with a intro lesson to speaking Korean and customs and phrases for getting around town in Seoul. Turns out this application was a part of a free website called Koreanclass101.com. Scratch what I just said about FREE. They have a Free trial. Now I have found Koreanclass101.com videos on Youtube.com. If you are studying Korean let me know about your experience. Have you ever tried Rosetta Stone?
I could say goodbye in Korean (that would be the obvious) but I'll say Peace.

7 Figure Secrets

Hola peoples, Here is the lowdown... Back in February of 2007, Mike Filsaime held a secret Private Workshop at an undisclosed location. Over 100 people paid $5000 for the Workshop. He then took those DVD's (Which now sell for $1297) and sold it out in record fashion in under 7 days to 2500 people. Since then... over 3000 people have paid for that information. The success stories that followed have changed the face of Internet Marketing. (Filsaime, along with his 37 Staff Members, will do $10,000,000 this year in sales and is credited with showing other marketers how to grow a 7 figure Business.) SO what?! Ok so this is why I am even talking about this at all. A) I like Mike and the information he provides for what I am up to in life. B) Mike hired an Internet Marketing Expert and Copywriter (That also attended the event.) Paid this "TOP GUN" $25,000 to watch all 16 DVD's of "The 7 Figure Code" and condense it into a Masterpiece... THE RESULT... An 85 Page re...
