Anybody speak Korean? A little help plz...I need to communicate with ...
Trying to help out a landlord/friend.

I need to speak with a Korean guy who speaks very little English. I need to ask him specifically,

" How long will you stay here?" ('Here' Being the apartment he is renting)

Or alternately:

" When will you leave/move out?"

and finally,

"Please give 30 days notice before you leave"

Thanks in advance

1. It's not perfect, but try the free AltaVista translation service online
http://av.rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A9ibyJ1ttClE7NoAPWNqCqMX;_ylu=X3oDMTA5a2djcGNwBHNlYwN0b29scw--/SIG=11jd88i5g/EXP=1143670253/**http%3a//babelfish.altavista.com/

Start with this:

Do not blame me. I did not vote for him.
나를 비난하지 말라. 나는 그를 위해 투표하지 않았다.

2. Keep in mind, AltaVista isn't perfect...
How long will you stay here?
얼마나 너는 여기 체재할 것인가?

That might actually say, "How many here it spreads out will stay?"

3. You might try this "LanguageLine" service for $3.95 / minute

I'm not familiar with them though:


Do You Need An Interpreter Now?
Set up an account within minutes .
Be on the line with an interpreter within seconds.

If your language service needs are minimal and/or unpredictable, you can still benefit from professional interpreters through Language Line Services' "Personal Interpreter" package.

Whether for business or personal use, you get the same high level of quality and quick response without paying a monthly minimum or setup fee or maintaining an ongoing account.

Our "Personal Interpreter"... pay-as-you-go service allows you to access highly skilled & certified interpreters:

* In more than 150 languages from any phone, $3.95 per minute.
* 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Conveniences include:

* International or domestic third-party calls
* Billing to a major credit card
* No membership or subscription fee
* Charges begin when the interpreter joins the call and end when you hang up.
* Per minute charges include the cost of an international or domestic call.

To open a "Personal Interpreter" account, all you have to do is provide us with a small amount of information, including a valid credit card number. You will then immediately be issued a personal identification number (PIN) via email. Then simply call our toll-free number, provide your PIN, and you will be on your way to being connected to a live interpreter.

Once you have your PIN, you can use it over and over again, without having to re-register.

To begin, please fill out the following short form (* = required). If you have any questions, please contact a Language Line Services "Personal Interpreter" representative at 1-800-528-5888.

I think I'm going to put them on Speed Dial just in case.
