that's sort of like "peace be with you" in Korean. It's what you say to greet someone (unless they're calling on the phone - then it's yo-bo-se-yo). I'm learning it on the internet. There are tons of great websites that teach you Korean. It's a little surprising just how many there are. Some, of course, are better than others, but they've all got something. i've been using a bunch of different sites... these are just a few:
An Introduction to Korean
This is a pretty comprehensive site that includes: the alphabet, basic phrases, lots of vocabulary, and grammar. The sound works better than a lot of sites and it's easy to follow and understand. Mini quizzes after each tutorial shows you your progress.
Korean through English
This is an excellent site that has tutuorials to help you write the Korean alphabet, learn pronunciation, and vocabulary - sadly the sound doesn't work on my mac and many of the Korean letters don't show up properly in the tutorials. Still great for learning words though.

Of course i had to wade through tons of really bad sites before finding even these ones that are decent. Now that i know the alphabet, i'm trying to immporve my vocabulary. i'd really like to do this with some childrens books, but i'm not sure where to get my hands on some. Anyway, i still need to get better at grammar, man, i hate grammar! and it's all backwards in Korean. SUBJECT-OBJECT-VERB (as opposed to subject-verb-object, in English). So, Korean uses particles to tell you which word is which. i can't write any Korean here for th
