Is there anything else you'd like to say about yourself?
I'm an English teacher at an Elementary School in Seoul. I love my work. I love my kids. And I want to continue to grow as a teacher. In my spare time I enjoy coffee with my friends or sometimes a little beer with my friends (not too much). My hobby is learning the gayageum... I have been learning since March 2007, and I love it ^^ If you are an "English sponge" only interested in sucking English off of me, don't bother talking to me... I find it rather insulting. But, if you want to talk about fun things like 국악, then I'm happy to talk about such things.

꼭 also means 'without a fail'

maybe you can make some sentences (using your creativity) then leave them in my comment wall. i can correct your sentences.
try to make some!

i realized 꼭 is very tricky one !
we, koreans use 꼭 very often on many occasions!!

<꼭 summery>

i think basically it means 'should'/ ' absolutely'/ 'exactly'

you can say to children like,,this
"밥 먹고 3분 이내에 이빨을 꼭 닦으세요'
-> within 3 min after eating, you should brush your teeth

"남매가 얼굴이 꼭 닮았네요
-> the sister and brother look exactly same!

"다음 저녁은 내가 꼭 살꺼야!'
-> next dinner is absoultely my treat, okay?

꼭! LIG입니다
꼭 here means,, i guess, 'one and only' or 'absolutely'
i think above sentence should be more natural with '꼭' together, meaning
Other than any brand, LIG is best.

don't be bothered with the thing i asked. ㅋㅋ
다음에 아이디 있어서 유율에 가입 했는데,
right after joining the club, you only become lower level member which can't see all the postings. that's why i couldn't see 'the' posting.

by the way, do you have msn id??
if you are ok, maybe msn is better.

another 꼭

약속은 지켜야해요
-->you should keep your promise.

also, you can use '꼭' alone when you wanna ensure things to others.
like this.

"약속 지켜요! " (please keep your promise!)
"꼭! " (ok?)

"다음엔 제가 살께요. 꼭! ( -> next time is my treat, ok? )
