I'm not a big linguist--two French classes in high school was as far as I got in any foreign tongues.
But since I've started listening to Korean music (a lot) and watching Korean dramas (too many), I've developed a real respect and fondness for the culture. It would be the greatest thing to be able to listen to the songs I love and watch the shows I love without any translations. And maybe I can make the one adventure in my life going to Korea on my own and teaching English for a little while.
Of course, I'm a long, long way from that. I've been looking at the hangul alphabet and trying out the pronunciations, which shouldn't be too hard once I memorize them. But that's about all I know besides really basic phrases.
I'm not very disciplined with learning things on my own, but I'm great at getting schoolwork in. So I kind of just need someone to guide and focus me--what I need to learn first, how fast I should be learning, maybe some worksheets?
And I am really good at English! I've never taught it before, but if you have any questions about it, I can definitely answer. It'd probably be best if you know *some* English beforehand, since I don't know any Korean.
The short of it: English speaker wants to learn Korean, very beginner level; can teach English in exchange.
