Black Belt Spirit

Kwanjangnim looked surprised to see me at taekwondo today. I'm not sure why. I greeted him in Korean.

He replied in Korean, asking if I was well. I said yes and he followed up like he always does, asking if Good Man is well and if I'm feeding him. (No, I'm letting him starve to death.) He told me I looked tired.

"아, 네. 바뻤어요. 늦아요. 미안합니다. 하지만 오늘 안 오면, 내일, 모레, 글피, 못 와요." Ah, yes. I'm was busy today. I'm late. Sorry. But if I didn't come today, then tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, two days after tomorrow, I wouldn't come.

Kwanjangnim nodded his head, "That is black belt spirit. Good job."

Thanks, fixed it.

S, choose one email to use and make it real or I'm going to ban you from commenting. This is your third comment and your third really fake looking email.

An American educator moves moved to Korea, presumably to teach English. Instead she discovers discovered that learning Korean one taekwondo class at a time is was a more captivating activity.

Somewhere along the way, she met a Good Man, fell in love, and ended up back in the States. Still doing taekwondo, still learning Korean...
