I am also called Steve, and I am 3rd degree black belt, and been training for 11 years!

I started training at 5, and now I am 16 ^^

I also started to self study the Korean language, and have now been studying it for 2 years now.

Hans: yea i got a black belt in tkd. i need to study more since there are no classes here, lol...

cIkAsA: i live in japan because the navy put me here...lol, i wanted to be stationed in korea but i guess they didnt need anyone...o well, ima get there eventually...

KkOmA: thats pretty cool, i woudl have had a 3rd degree like a year ago, but i never studied hard enough, and one part of the 3rd degree testing in terminology which i freakin suck at anyways, and i failed at that so i never got my 3rd. i did everythign else perfect...but not that...thats why i also knwo this leanring korean thing is gonna take a bit...but ima up for it...

..well anyways...all i really need is advice on the easiest or best way to start learning korean, ive started with the hangul alphabet and i saved that page on my website, so i can see it at any times...though i got one question, does anyone knwo where i can get the alphabet where its aranged in like a chart where the vowels runa cross the top and the consanants on the side or somethign i can remeber, but i saw it long time ago when my ex tried to teach it to me...i hope i explained it good enough...well talk to you guys later
