Hahahahaha. Eventually I'm going to do a little post about things I like to use when studying Korean. I don't use vibrators, but a good technique I found pretty quickly when I first came to Korea---three years next Monday---was to use all the English books lying around the hagwon backwards. That is, instead of learning English through the Korean translations, just use the English translations to try and pick up some Korean. It was easy to find material because my hagwon used books with answer keys and side-by-side translations in the back, but since they didn't want students to see them they ripped out the back-half of all the books and threw them away. I grabbed a couple but ultimately lost them a while back.
Anyway, it sometimes works for listening activities, too, and I'll have to spend some more time listening to this collection from the Yeosu official site. The series has thirtysomething lessons between fifteen and forty minutes long and is titled "Ashley's Do!! Do!!" Most of the Korean is comprehensible because it's refering to the English phrases she's teaching, although I need a little practice on the grammar.
In episode 31 Ashley is explaining that "Do!! Do!!" (두두) means "하다" and is meant to encourage and is not, as a student thought, a reference to "dodo" (도도). So now it just mean's "Ashley's poop!!" Another good thing about episode 31 is that the key phrases can be rearranged to make an interesting bedroom dialogue:
3. 강조하고 싶을 때
I do love you.
I do remember.
I do like your new hair style
4. 기타 조동사로서 쓰이는 경우
What are you doing?
Don't do that!
What do you do?
I'm done
Just do it!
Just do as I told you
Do something
So do I
Neither do I
