Posted on April 30th, 2010 by admin

I went to Japan through YFU on the summer of 2008 and here are some suggestions or some things to expect if you want to study abroad and homestay in Japan as well. :) I’ve also been to Japan two other times and have had many Japanese exchange brothers and sisters who lived with my family as well, so I at least know a little something of what I’m talking about.

Life as a TaLK Scholar: Jeju

Posted on April 20th, 2010 by admin

My submission for the TaLK Movie Contest..

1) TaLK Orientation: Mainland & Jeju
2) Homestay Life
3) School Life: Sinchang Elementary School

I think TaLK is a great program because they send you to the rural schools, where the English levels are much lower than in the city. City kids are often wealthier and get a lot of English tutoring at private hakwons, and city schools also get more funding to hire more English teachers and such but the great thing about this program is they send you off to the reeeeeal countryside :) Life is so much more simpler and peaceful, and the rural kids, although they can be pretty rambunctious, are really innocent compared to their peers in America and most of them are so eager to learn English.

This is the first year they’ve done the TaLK program, and I know there are many who aren’t satisfied with their life as a TaLK scholar. As with any new initiative, there will always be some problems and kinks to work out but I like to think that things can only get better. Some might not agree but I think it’s been totally worth it so far.

I’ve also extended my contract another 6 months, so I’ll be here until the end of July 2009.

Songs in this video:
Epik High – Fly
Lee Hyori – 빨간 자동차 (Red Car)
성시경 – 제주도 풀은바람
