Another successful session for Raven with Euna. They went over basic consonants in Hangul and how to combine those with vowels. #Korean   #langauge   #homeschool

Some of these signs are downright nasty! But unfortunately, I have seen people do most every one of them. I have even been the victim of some of them. Be real and be helpful, and the growth will follow.

So I just found out that tomorrow (15th) is Free RPG Day. But that is already today for us! Doubt there were any local shops here in Seoul that held events anyways.

"Snack food" from the convenience store is so loaded down with bad stuff. We try to take along healthy snacks when we go on outings because it lowers the blitz spending factor and it is so much better for us - keeps us going longer and stronger!

 I wanted to clear up some of the more grievous myths that are floating around about being stationed here in S. Korea.

Everyone we talked to had an opinion about South Korea. People gave us advice, told us stories, and generally questioned why we would ever want to go there.

In most of the subway stations and on the main drag of Itaewon, the streets have a line of yellow brick. The other day the girls and I were singing this song while Gaius followed the yellow brick subway road. ^_^

When I ask how Sunday School went, or youth group, and I ask if anyone talked to you – it pains me to hear you reply no. It hurts when I see you sitting by yourself during kid’s worship.

I know that being a homeschool family in a foreign country makes it even harder.

Does anyone use Life of Fred? And more importantly - do you notebook alongside it? My kids are in LOVE with LOF and I think doodling while I read to them might help them internalize the concepts even more. Just wondering if anyone had done this.

Instead of buying a big curriculum package that I have to implement (and get the kids excited about, and organize, and more), we choose to follow what our kids are interested in. This may seem "risky" educationally but the fact is that learning happens more naturally and at deeper levels. They pick up "the basics" while they are engrossed and involved. And we save a lot of money doing it.

You know that meme that says “Saying you’re a Christian because you go to church is like saying you’re a mechanic because you stand in a garage”?

Well – trying to prevent rape and lust by dressing modestly is like trying to prevent gluttony by duct-taping your fridge closed. #Christianity   #rape   #modesty
