Despicable Me


Oh how I laughed! The littlest one reminded me of Dara because of her hairstyle.


So, generally, Koreans have three part names. For example, Kim YuNa. It's more like a three syllable name because it's just a "first" name and a surname. Anyway, I've had a couple students that have only two syllables! Outrageous, I know. The first was a boy named, Kim San and now I have a girl named Pak Ju. I also don't understand why a name in Korean pronounced "Pak" is changed to "Park" when said in English. Why add an "r"? It's the same instance with 이. It sounds like "ee" but in English they say Lee. Where does the "L" come from? It's like a totally different name! Too crazy.
