    ……hello! is it possible for me to speak korean

    in just three months of study?

    i want to learn the language fast.

    how great a country you are, to offer

    scholarship opportunities to developing

    countries like ours. my application for

    KGSP is now in process. people say that

    successful people are risk takers. i will take

    the risk to travel to another country at my young

    age, in order to further my knowledge and be able

    to share it to the world and help my countrymen.
    thank you.. . . .
