Scoff if you will butt I'll be dreaming about these satfyingly chewy mouthfulls of heaven. . My Friend K stirfryed some for me (with ginger,garlic, scallions, faux chicken, greens, peppers, and shitake mushrooms tonight) and it blew my mind. I will definately be buying some of these babies on my next shopping trip.
I made a break through in Korean just now and had to share. I still feel like a clumsy ogre when I speak out loud. but I realized I was drawing the syllables out to long and the breathe holding trick only worked to a point, and well it also made me look foolish lol. I especially started having problems when I had the bright idea to learn the lyrics to my favorite songs as a way to improve vocab, pronunciation, and speed. It was a major fail. Forget getting to the translating part of the ride, every sentence felt like the cruelest tongue twister ever. I've drilled the syllables over and over again, so why couldn't I string them together when need to, *sigh* so frustrating. I started snapping my fingers out of annoyance to hurry myself along I guess and surprise surprise I got through the sentence. The light bulb dinged on above my head and Shazam lol! I raced to my computer to find a Internet metronome to try. It took a bit of experimenting but so far I've had the best results with 70 bpm, adagio, 4 beats per cycle, beat 1 accented. I breezed through to the first chorus using this method.
All Hail the Metronome. Metronome be praised
Also my brain is fighting remembering the lyrics much less. I tried this on my collection of phrases and it did wonders. Seemed a discovery worth sharing. Let me know if it works for you.= )
