i got this email about two days after i got back to the states from korea:

from: 승언

subject: matt 안녕하세요 eric

안녕하세요?

저 eric�예요.

몸�괜찮죠

아픈�는 없고요?

너무너무 보고싶어요.

그래서 저는 울었어요.

선�님� 저 많� 보고싶쬬?

저� 선�님 많� 보고 싶어요.

선�님 나중� ��랜드 꼭 오새요!.

답장 꼭 !~

it took me a while to figure out who the email was from. i could understand about 80% of it and it says things like how are you, how are you feeling (since i was sick before i left), and i really, really want to see you. finally i realized it was from eric in my ele 102, i gave them my email address on the last day. after consulting my korean dictionary, it also says that since i left he cried and that he really wants to see me again and hopes i come back to see him later.

i wrote him back and said�어를 왜 안 했어? (why didn't you use english?) actually it was fun getting an email in korean and trying to write back with my limited korean skills. his english level is very basic so i couldn't put too much english in there or else i am sure he wouldn't be able to read it.
