I want to expose my daughter to her heritage and most importantly, have her learn Korean. However, I came to the US at a very young age during the 70's when being ethnic was just not done (my parents were instructed by teachers and professionals to speak only English to me and my sister so we'd learn to assimilate faster), so my Korean language skills are pretty pathetic. Does anyone know of a program along the vein of "Dora the Explorer", "Go, Diego, Go" or "Hi Hao, Kai-Lan" but in Korean with which to start getting her exposed?

I have been looking for exactly the same thing, but haven't found anything. I'm 1st generation Korean/American, and while I understand enough Korean to get by, I am not fluent enough to teach my 2 and 3 year old daughters Korean for much longer. They are picking up as much Spanish from Dora as they're picking up Korean from me.

I've checked out DVDs and tapes for sale, but the quality of most these items are not 59of a grade that keeps my children's interest. There's also a lot of material with Korean as the base language which teaches English. Like you, I'm looking for something with English as a base language and teaches Korean.

I hope someone can offer a suggestion....

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Sagittarius

If you have any worries or problems today, a close colleague could have the answers you seek. Work will be satisfying, and anything to do with children should be very rewarding today. There could be friction with a relative, but it's nothing serious and things will sort themselves out in due course. Again, you must pay attention to your health, Saggitarius: skin infections are a strong possibility at the moment.
