Some of you may have remembered that we made a donation in the name of Rain’s World Clouds to Good Neighbors in September 2010 to commemorate Rain’s return to the TV screen via “The Fugitive, Plan B”. There had been positive media report about this.

What you may not know was that we had also invited 370 children from Good Neighbors various centres to the Adieu concert in Seoul at the end of 2010. We did that quietly at that time as time was short and people had just made their contributions.

Tickets for the concert:

We also provided them with a healthy snack

We believed the children all had a good time

We would like to do this again for the Best Show in Seoul and hope we could invite as many kids as possible (we have heard that they are very eager to go). It would be good if this could be a World Clouds project even though we know the time is short, and we know that many of us have spent a lot of money going to the various concerts. We believe this is a very meaningful event and we hope to have your support.

This project is again done on individual basis and is not an official Cloud project. We are grateful that our Hawaiian Cloud sisters have agreed to help us with the collection. If you wish to make a donation, please send your payment by paypal to the following account: RainsHawaiianCloud@gmail.com. We hope to receive the donation by 22 September at the latest.

If you do not have paypal and would like to make a donation, please contact me at heidi.shanghai@hotmail.com or Vicky at vicky63625@gmail.com. We will do our best to help.

If the donation amount allows, we may also send a rice garland in the name of Rain’s World Clouds on the day of the concert. The Cloud Executive has issued a notice about this. Fans are welcome to send in rice garlands individually or as a fan group. Link to the website address to order the rice garland is: http://www.dreame.co.kr/. Again, if you need help to organize the rice garlands please contact us.

On behalf of the Good Neighbors’ kids, we thank you in advance for your generosity and support.

For our love of Rain – One World, One Love

[Learning Korean] Level 1 Lesson 1 - 3

Lesson 1 / Hello, Thank you / 안녕하세요, 감사합니다

Welcome to the very first lesson at TalkToMeInKorean.com! If you are an absolute beginner of the Korean language, start with this lesson and practice with us. Don’t worry if you do not know how to read and write in Korean yet. We will guide you through every step of learning Korean. In this lesson, you can learn how to say “Hello.” and “Thank you.” in Korean.
“Hello.” is “안녕하세요. [an-nyeong-ha-se-yo]” and “Thank you.” is “감사합니다. [gam-sa-hap-ni-da]” If you already know how to say these expressions, listen to the lesson to find out how to say them most naturally. If you can make a video of yourself saying these expressions, that would be FANTASTIC!
감사합니다!

Lesson 2 / Yes, No, What? / 네, 아니요, 네?

After listening to this lesson, when you are asked a YES/NO question, you will be able to answer that question with either YES or NO in Korean.
네. [ne] = Yes.
아니요. [aniyo] = No.
But in Korean, when people say “네”, it is not the same as saying “Yes.” in English. The same goes for “아니요” too. This is because the Korean “네” expresses your “agreement” to what the other person said. And “아니요” expresses your “disagreement” or “denial” to what the other person said.
Please read more about it in the PDF file attached to this lesson.

Lesson 3 / Good-bye, See you / 안녕히 가세요, 안녕히 계세요, 안녕
After listening to this lesson, you can say “Good-bye” or “See you” in Korean. In polite/formal Korean, there are two basic ways to say Good-bye.
One is when you are the one who is leaving. And the other is when you are the one who is staying.
If you are leaving, and the other person is (or the other people are) staying, you can say:
안녕히 계세요. [an-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo]
If you are staying, an the other person is (or the other people are) leaving, you can say:
안녕히 가세요. [an-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo]
Please read more about this in the PDF file attached to this lesson.
