Plugging lang po~! :)

Our new EBS show <외국인을 위한 실용 한국어 (초급)> Practical Korean for Foreigners(Basic Course) started airing on TV last Monday, Oct. 19 and will be on air ’til February 10, 2010.

Our first show, which was also a beginner course, dealt mostly with basic Korean grammar and usage. This time it will be more about conversational Korean,  with phrases and words ’newbies’ actually need to learn and use while living here in Korea. After shooting the first episode, I’d say it’s actually a lot easier to understand. More sample situations, short skits and animations for fun learning. Apart from learning conversational Korean, we will also introduce foreign wives presently living in Korea, and answer some questions they have about Korean culture that I believe everyone is (or was) curious about. 

Join us Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, 1:40pm~2:10pm on EBS(Channel 13 in Seoul). Replays on EBSPlus2 same days 4:30pm~5:00pm

  • Mondays - Chinese
  • Tuesdays - Vietnamese
  • Wednesdays - Filipino(Tagalog) 

You can visit our site  to watch our show again online, and download lesson files, too. Don’t forget to leave us a message. >>> Practical Korean for Foreigners (Basic Course) <<<

Minsan na lamang ako nakaka-lugar na bumisita sa munti kong tahanan dito sa web kaya’t  ipag-paumanhin na kung ang aking mga lahok ay medyo nahuhuli. 

Ang tema sa linggong ito ay hardin. Kaya’t iaalay ko sa inyo ang mga larawang kuha sa hardin namin. Ang tanda ko ay kinuha ang mga larawang ito ‘tagsibol’ nung nakaraang taon. 

Maraming  iba’t ibang uri ng tanim sa aming hardin ngunit pinakamarami dito ay mga iba’t ibang kulay ng azalea.  :D Ang nasa huling larawan ay isa atang uri ng lily, hindi ako sigurado, nag-iisa kasi siya sa hardin namin.

Matagal ko nang gustong maging bahagi ng Litratong Pinoy. Magmula pa ata nuong una kong nalaman ang tungkol dito magmula sa isang kapwa-Seoulite na si Betchay.

Ilang linggo na rin ang nakaraan magmula nang ilagay ko ang  link button ng LP sa aking blog. Ngunit medyo nahirapan akong hanapin ang mga larawang akma sa tema nuong mga nakaraang linggo.  :(

Paboritong litrato ang tema sa linggong ito na nataon na anibersaryo rin ng LP. Hindi ako magaling na litratista, mahilig lamang ako kumuha ng mga larawan. Kaya’t maaring lahat ng mga magiging lahok ko sa LP ay hindi matatawag na masining(artistic(?)) di tulad ng marami sa  mga lahok ng mga miyembro ng LP.

Katunayan ay ang una kong lahok, wala pa nga sa “focus”. Ngunit dahil sa paboritong litrato ang tema ay ito ang napili kong ilahok. Sa ngayon ay ito ang pinaka-paborito kong larawan dahil isang tingin lamang ay napapangiti na ako, nagbabalik sa ala-ala ang saya ng gabing kinuha ang mga larawang ito.

 Maligayang Anibersaryo LP!

Hiring talents to play bit roles for upcoming Korean movie, to be starred by Song Kang-ho and Kang Dong-won (tentative title ‘의형제’ - Sworn Brothers).

The movie, scheduled to hit the screens early 2010, will start shooting by mid-May.

6~8 female southeast asians (pref. from Vietnam, Philippines, and Thailand) needed to play the roles of  migrant women,(married to Koreans).  1 day shoot.

2 of whom will have speaking roles (meaning you have lines to deliver) , and will have a few scenes together with the 2 main stars.  A day, or two shooting days.

1 male southeast asian (pref. Vietnamese) needed to play the role of a Vietnamese gang boss. Will have an action scene with the two main stars. Person to play the role will need to train for the fight scenes (will be taught by the film’s stuntmen), and might need to shoot for 2-3 days, not including the training days.

They prefer Vietnamese men coz some lines should be delivered in Vietnamese. You’ll have a high probability of getting hired for the role even if you are not Vietnamese, if you have the southeast asian  ‘gang boss look’ . Knowing how to do an ‘action-movie fight’, will be a plus.  I don’t think the lines would matter then :D

I actually received the script yesterday from a production assistant, but they asked me not to release anything about the story anywhere (on or offline) until they had an official presscon.  So am not allowed to share more than what I just did :D

Applicants may e-mail me their resumes at sey.jeez(at)gmail(dot)com. Please include 2 pictures, name, height, weight, age, nationality, current location and contact number(s). Thx~
