hey...
and i'm an adopted korean gal...
with a Swiss last name... :)

anyways, if you really want to learn korean...
try taking korean language classes... or you can try to learn from online... like from here (http://www.interedu.go.kr) or here (http://www.mylanguageexchange.com/Learn/Korean.asp)... also, you should try downloading this ime tool... found here (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/recommended/ime/default.asp)... It just allows you to write in hangul using your computer keyboard....

anyways, welcome aboard to yw :)

PS: and if you truly want to learn korean and immerse yourself in korean culture... just do what yw member sunwukung encourages asian americans... but just move and live in asia for a year... which in your case, would be korea:)

Pick your nose in public? :blink:
Now, that's just wrong.

sup! zee is a polish last name? it sounds like it could be asian too

[jimmyzee]

Zee is not my last name :o

My last name starts w/ a Z and Im not the only Jim in my group of friends so hence the "Z", or "Jimmy Z"

It is better than "Asian Jim" or "Yellow Jim", right???

Anyways thanks for the response and hope to get to know everyone better.
