Now that March is around the new school year has started, and with it has come a lot of new English Conversation Teachers. Hopefully you've seen our ESL Resources already so you can have an idea of what it's like to teach in Korea. The videos we made from our classes, though, make it seem as if the lessons require huge amounts of prep time. This isn't always the case. So what we've done is uploaded another lesson plan, only this time it's really easy to prepare. In fact, it should take you probably ten minutes to prepare this lesson, and it will have your students speaking in and listening to English for the entire class. Check the new video of Simon Teaching in a Korean Middle School, and if you like it, download it in either Mac or PC format. If you do decide to use it, please let us know how it works!

Simon's sick of shopping for clothes in Korea. They never fit, EVER! Korea's got a great sense of fashion, but none of it fits him. To buy clothes, he'd wait until he went back to Canada over the summer and filled his suitcase there, but not anymore. We've discovered something much better. If you're a big guy and need to get some good looking, professional attire, something you can wear to school as a teacher and looked damned snazzy, then should your shirts made proper, and all for a really reasonable price. For the full run down on getting your shirts custom made, click on the picture above to learn How to Dress Like a Pro in Korea. By the way, the place Simon gets his shirts done is Dainty in Garosu-Gil. Here's their business card, and here are directions to their store. Also, if you know of any other tailors that you swear by, please let us know!

Next to Bucheon, we really love the Hongdae area. It's got so many cool places that we'd have to make a new blog dedicated to it. Today, we want to introduce you to Giocat in Hongdae, which is a cat café. Yes. It is a café full of cats. You order a drink, and then you can play with all of the cats you want. It's just a matter of if they want to play with you. Anyhow, we've got a video on this awesome place, so click on the picture above to check out Giocat Cat Cafe. If you're interested in going, click here for Directions to Giocat. Finally, since we're in a silly mood, we have another silly pet video, only this one is of Spudgy Sounding Like a Monkey. Check it out!

Last year, we brought you our most popular video to date, How to Dance K-Pop Style, 2008. In that video, we showed you all of the dance moves that our students couldn't stop doing in our classes. A year has passed since then, and now those moves aren't going to be useful to you in your classes. Well, you could try doing them, but you'll surely get a lot of groans. So, now that 2009 is over with, we have a whole new list of songs and moves that you need to know. So click on the picture above for our latest installation, How to Dance K-Pop Style, 2009.
