You already know George, one of the most resourceful members when it comes to places-to-go in Koreatown (and beyond). George has a been a member of KoreanLA since 2008 - in fact, January 13, yesterday was his anniversary! Yay! Thanks for being with us, George!
I'm delighted that George accepted my request to step up as an Event Organizer for KLCX/KoreanLA. He has already organized a few events, so chances are, you've probably attended some of his events in the past. Please continue to join his events; they're sure to be fun and interesting!
George, thank you, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Thanks for joining us at the January Meetup
Thanks for coming to the meetup yesterday. I hope you enjoyed the workshop and Q&A as much as I did.
I know the workshops were slow for some, fast for others, and just about right for the rest. Beginners did very well keeping up with intermediate - kudos to you! We had wide range of intermediate attendees in terms of proficiency level, and you were so patient with each other. Thank you!
As we have more attendees, we will be able to provide more levels appropriate for specific proficiency. So please spread the word and let others know about our group.
Don't forget to practice what you learned; and if you forgot what yo learned, no worries; we will have more classes and workshops.
Please let me know what you liked (so that we can keep it) and what you didn't like (so that we can make it better for you.). This is very important to both you and me, so I appreciate it.
And don't forget to rate the meetup - so that when others see that this was a 5-star meet-up, they will be encouraged to come next time.
When you rate, please rate based on the content of the meetup (for this meetup, it's the workshop and Q&A). Please do not rate based on the venue, food that you had, parking situation or people you liked or didn't like. Ha ha! We had no control over that. ;) Also, please understand that we cannot offer exactly what you want, for each individual, but only for everyone in general. So the level of workshop may have been too difficult or too easy for a small number of you. Thanks for considering this factor.

January Workshop and Q&A in Los Angeles, CA
Big thank-you to everyone for RSVP'ing to attend the meet-up on this
date even though you had no idea what the event was going to be about.
That means a lot to us!
Also, I deeply appreciate your suggestions. You helped me make a final decision on what we will be doing on this date - and what we will be doing for the rest of the year!
Since our first meet-up of the year was for the daring palates, the second one will be for the seekers of learning experience: we will have informal workshops and Q & A session in which you get to ask pretty much any question you've been wanting to ask a Korean, from pronunciation to culture to something you weren't quite sure whom to ask. And oh yeah, we will have a mixer to get to know each other too.
Even if you are not interested in workshops, please come to the mixer! It will be short and sweet.
We will have informal workshops and Q & A session in which you get to ask pretty much any question you've been wanting to ask a Korean, from pronunciation to culture to something you weren't quite sure whom to ask. As always, we will have a mixer to get to know each other during and/or after the workshop.
Please read the instruction below thoroughly. Thank you!

Mark Your Calendars: 2012 Second Saturday
Mark your calendar for the 2012 "Second Saturday."
This year, we will plan an event or two on Second Saturdays every month. So mark your calendar!
Being a Korean instructor myself, unless you give us event suggestions or ideas, we plan to offer something language-related in a little more serious nature, such as classes, workshops, study halls and Q&A sessions. We also have staff and Event Hosts who are full of fun and adventurous ideas! We may go out for dinner, picnic or, even to amusement parks!
Language Exchange may happen on Second Saturday, but for now, it may be hosted on the 4th or last weekend of the month. This scheduling is by popular request that you want to attend classes before you attend language exchange session.
My personal goal is to turn every experience that we have into something Korean - so that you can get to know subtle culture that lies underneath the language and behaviors, have a chance to practice your Korean, and just get to know others who share the same interest with you.
If you have an event idea or something to do with fellow polyglots and Hallyu fans, please make a suggestion. Let's make it fun for everyone!
If there's scheduling conflict or holidays, the date may be changed. So please do not pay or RSVP until the details are announced.
Thank you, and see you in the year 2012!
