Thanks for the movie link. I've seen My Sassy Girl and a couple of others, but not much else.
d-addicts.com is great. Forgot to mention it, but that's where I've been getting my dramas. I'll have to check out Iris and Fight.
Repeating Iyagi is great. I haven't been doing it while I sleep but maybe I should.

I actually held off of TTMIK for the first month or so, and I only add a lesson's worth of sentences a day to my deck. I'm thinking of stepping that up now that there are tons of words/phrases that I recognize by sound but do not know the meaning of.
Do you listen to TTMIK's Iyagi podcasts? (http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/category/shows/iyagi-intermediate/)
Those are pretty much my bread and butter right now.
I've watched some dramas and movies, have some K-Pop albums, and also listen to this podcast at times: http://sadgagman.tistory.com/
I could definitely stand to find some more podcasts but it's difficult to do without Korean literacy.
I've watched tons of MBN (and some other channels) off of this site: http://wwitv.com/television/112.htm
Unfortunately most of the best broadcasting is during the night here.
It's definitely hard to find stuff for a language like Korean, but c'est la vie.

No, I'm not really sure I have a preference at this point. I may develop an age preference as I gain experience, but at this point I'm open to teaching at any level.
How is your spoken Korean? Are you able to converse with Good Man?

I don't have teaching experience per se. However, I have worked as a marching technician with two high school marching bands over the course of three seasons, and I worked as an assistant site director for a Boys and Girls Clubs afterschool program for two years, including a summer camp. I hope that counts for something, but I'm pretty much open to being placed wherever they'll have me.
I read a decent amount of your blog the other day and I guess I'm confused. Did you move back to the States in order to take care of Good Man's citizenship?

I'm planning on applying through EPIK, so hopefully I won't have to deal with issues like the ones you experienced.
I have to say that the task of learning Korean is still pretty daunting for me, and I'm sure it will continue to be for a long while. However, I more or less plan on dedicating my life to picking up the language once I get over there. I can't wait.

Thanks for the comment. For how long have you been learning Korean?

Luckily, I had a natural aversion to dialects other than the one I was shooting for (Mexican). Not because I thought they sounded bad or anything, but because I always found it frustrating to listen to them. Listening to Don Francisco (who is Chilean), especially, would make me turn off Sábado Gigante quickly out of frustration.
