When I do my studies, I talk out loud to spell correctly, but when I don't get the right pronunciation that messes up what I'm trying to write. It's silly to be annoyed at the teacher anyway. I record myself reading passages and tweets and there's not really a reason to do that since, as I said, it's not like I'll be actually speaking a lot of Korean anyway. For my speaking needs, I have the basics anyway since it all mostly relates to food. HAHAHA

I really want to be annoyed at my Korean teacher for making us speak in Korean a lot during class, but I can't. It's actually helping. My sole goal was to be able to read & understand for my own selfish reasons. It's not like I'll be audibly speaking Korean and a lot of the words are tongue twisters for me.

You'd like this: Here in LA, a lot of Filipino, Northern African and Middle Eastern people get accosted by abulitas for not knowing Spanish. It's really unfair. From the 50s - 70s/80s, in some school districts, speaking Spanish at school was punished. My kid's principal said that her teacher would hit their mouths. A coordinator said they would get their legs swatted. So, we have a lot of people my age (42) and younger who can't speak Spanish because their parents never taught them. Not to mention the whole attemped at assimilation and whiteness for others, so they weren't even allowed to speak Spanish at home. Which brings up back to the first sentence. A lot of my friends from these areas learned Spanish, not because they wanted to, but they were sick of being shamed for something they shouldn't have to deal with. Once, and Egyptian & Libyan friend were getting beaten by an old lady for not knowing Spanish. They were trying to tell her, "We're African!" and she wasn't having it.
