If you haven’t talked with her or been hesitant to know about her because of your language barrier or your shyness, please welcome our b-day girl Abby as listening to what she wants to share us!

She said it would be a good way to get out of my apartment and make new friends, and she was right! She moved to the US for her Master’s degree, and I kept taking more classes. </i></b></span><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Abby는 한국으로 이주하기 전에 친구의 추천을 받고 에버라틴에 가입했다고 하는데요. 준비성 철저한 Abby ^^! Abby의 친구가 에버라틴을 추천하면서 ‘집 밖으로 나와 새로운 친구를 사귈 수 있는 좋은 기회’라고 소개했다고 하는데, 제가 생각해도 정말 적합한 소개 문구인 것 같네요 ㅎㅎ 애비에게 에라를 소개해준 친구는 석사과정을 밟기 위해 미국으로 돌아가 지금 한국에 없지만, 애비는 꿋꿋이 수업에 참여하고 있답니다! (박수!)</span><br><br>----<br><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b><i>Mia: Where are you from? And your full name please</i></b></span><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">다음으로, 애비에게 어디에서 왔는지와 이름을 물어봤어요.</span><br><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b><i>Abby: I’m from the US. My hometown is not far from Washington DC. My full legal name is Abigail Claire MacLachlan, Abby for short.</i></b></span><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">애비는 미국 Washigton D.C.에서 얼마 멀지 않은 동네에서 왔다고 하고요. Full name은 Abigail Claire MacLachlan이고 짧은 애칭은 Abby입니다. </span><br><br>----<br><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b><i>Mia: I don't know how much proficient you are in Korean language, but I can presumably make a guess that you follow salsa classes with your observation or feeling. How have you been taking the classes so far? Any challenges? </i></b></span><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">여러분도 아시겠지만 애비는 미72중에 얼마 되지 않는, 살사를 배우는 외국인입니다! 그래서 제가 너무도 궁금했던 점, 살사수업을 들을 때 어떻게 수업 진도에 따라가는지에 대해서 질문해봤어요. 관찰을 해서 따라가는지 아니면 Abby만의 feel이 있는 건지 물어보면서, 어려운 점이 없었는지 질문을 던져보았어요.</span><br><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b><i>Abby: I interpret through lots of observation. It helps that I’m a more visual learner, too, but I get by in class the same way I get by when people speak to me very quickly in Korean: guess what they mean, and hope I guessed right 😂. I can read Hangul, and I’m self-taught for very simple expressions, but my vocabulary is limited. I’ve started taking Korean lessons, so I should be able to babytalk soon. 😅The biggest challenge is the language barrier- no one really talked to me other than my friend until I was tagged for profile relay and I made my post on DaumCafe. I think maybe I came off as standoffish or not interested in other people, but honestly I’m just quite shy and my inexperience in Korean doesn’t help. </i></b></span><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">애비는 동작을 열심히 관찰하면서 수업에 따라간다고 합니다. 애비는 시각적으로 배우는 visual learner쪽에 가까워서 한국말을 몰라도 잘 따라갈 수 있나봐요. 한국사람도 한국말 들어도 어려운데 ㅎㅎ 애비가 참 대단하죠 여러분? 그리고 주변에서 동기분들이 이야기해주는 한국말 조언의 의미를 추측해가면서 수업에 참여한다고 합니다. 애비에게 다가가서 동작 크게, 열심히 설명해보아요 미72여러분! </span><br><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">이번 인터뷰에서 애비의 한국말 수준도 드디어 공개되었습니다 ㅎㅎ 애비는 한글을 읽을 수는 있지만, 따로 한국말을 배운적은 없어서 일부 표현만 구사 가능하며 어휘가 약하다고 하네요. 최근에 한국어 수업을 시작해서 babytalk를 곧 구사할 수 있을 것 같다고 하니, 애비의 일취월장할 한국어 솜씨를 다들 기대해주세요. </span><br><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">그리고 애비가 한국에서 가장 힘든 점으로 언어장벽을 꼽았는데요. 에라에서 아무도 애비에게 말하려고 하지 않아서… (눙물 반성합시다 여러분) 친구가 프로파일 릴레이에서 애비를 지목하고, 애비가 다음카페에 글을 올리고 나서야 좀 교류가 시작됐다고 하네요. 눙물…. 애비의 성향자체가 혼자 고독을 즐기는 타입이고 부끄럼때문에 먼저 사람들에게 다가가지 않는 타입이라고 하니까, 에라 여러분이 먼저 다가가주시면 참 좋을 것 같아요! <b><span style="background-color: rgb(31, 175, 218); color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Gungsuh, 궁서, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Papago 애용합시다(궁서체): </span><span style="background-color: rgb(31, 175, 218); color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Gungsuh, 궁서, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://papago.naver.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="tx-link">파파고 링크</a> 클릭</span></b></span><br><br><b>----</b><br><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b><i>Mia: Lastly what would you like to say to 미72 buddies?</i></b></span><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">마지막 질문으로 미72 동기들에게 전하고 싶은 말이 있는지 질문해봤습니다. 그럼 애비의 대답 함께 보시죠~</span><br><br><span style="font-family: Dotum, 돋움, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b><i>Abby: To my friends in 미72, I’m very bad at talking to people I don’t know well, even in English 😂 if you want to talk with me, please do!
