I played the Name Game in class this week; each student had to say their name and something they liked that started with the first letter of their name. I didn't take into account how many Korean names start with Y, J, and S so there were a ton of Y- yellow, yoyo, and yogurt, J- juice, jam, jelly,

and Jeju (a southern Korean island) and S- soccer, and swimming. There were a few original, surprising, and interesting ones though (most of them were from boys).

My name is Hyun- Su and I like head (This one was from a girl; I'm sure she had no idea what the slang meaning was but I couldn't stop laughing).
My name is Dae- Gun and I like DDR (Dance Dance Revolution).
My name is Min-tak and I like money.
My name is Dan and I like disco.
My name is Woo- Lin and I like wine... or uuhhhh WHISKEY!
My name is Seo Tae- Jun and I like smoking.
My name is Gi- Young and I like gun.
My name is Bon-hwa and I like bikini. (What?) All bikini.
My name is Kyung- Soo and I like killing game.
My name is Sae- Hoon and I like sexy. (What?) Sexy everything.
My name is Seung and I like Smigel. (It took me forever to figure out what he was saying; my co- teacher had no clue. I just started giggling when I understood).
