Probably from the Dutch "Spraak, spreek, and spreuk" which are variation of "speech" or "to speak".

Like in South African; scryfA South African was giving an Afrikaans test to show us (teacher training) what it's like learning another language. I was the only one to get them all right. Skryf.............. .. like a scribe? So, writing. It's amazing how close Dutch, Afrikaans and German can be to our language.
I mentioned this earlier in thread, but I'll just post another endorsement: Audio Technica m50x. Buy them. Wear them at school, on the bus, at home. Insulate yourself from the chaotic cacophony that is Korea. I also recommend getting earplugs for bed time, I personally need them as I have a lovely ajesshi neighbor who likes to let everyone on my floor know who likes to expel phlegm throughout the night in his bathroom (The echo makes it only worse).
Why are employees here so pushy?? I can't look at anything without the employee rushing up, holding the shirt up to me and saying "예뻐" over and over while simultaneously trying to direct my attention to the other colors. Just leave me alone!
The weather forecast has said it's gonna rain on Friday since freaking Tuesday. But the students are supposed to go on a picnic tomorrow... I was told I wouldn't have any classes because of the picnic, just show up to desk warm... I'm really not optimistic that it's gonna happen. ):

Today's drive to work was a gauntlet of frustration:- Pull up at 4-way intersection, where I must yield to traffic. I want to go straight so I wait for a gap in the traffic on the road I'm driving through and for the car facing me to turn left. It's a quick wait, usually not more than 10sec, to get a gap. The driver behind me, who wants to turn right, is incredibly impatient and can't wait the 10sec for me to go straight so he/she tries to force their way on my right, this driver is in a massive 4X4 and the road is pretty darn narrow, it's not possible for two cars to drive side by side, in the same lane. The driver is forcing their way on my right, coming very close to my car, the car in front of me is turning and this asshat is too busy to notice. Not only is Einstein forced to drive on the pavement, scraping his rims, to get on my inside but he/she turns right at the same time as the car in front of me turns left. The block each other and I shake my head, drive around the car in front and go on my way. - Entering another narrow road, with car parked on both sides, obstructing the view into the sidestreets. I'm always very careful on this road as drivers from the side streets should stop , or at least slow down, to make sure there's no oncoming traffic, yet rarely do. Obviously, an Equus comes charging through one of the side streets, and would've smashed into me if I wasn't driving 30km under the speed limit. - Obviously feeling left out, the pedestrians decide to make their contribution. I'm driving down the same narrow road where I was nearly cut in twain, by an Equus. This HS kid is walking down road, very close to the middle, engrossed in his phone. I slowly begin to drive around him, but he's so oblivious to his surroundings that he begins walking skew and into the path of my car. I hoot.... nothing, I'm driving around him, pushing on my hooter and he comes within about 30cm of my car, his head doesn't leave his phone. He hasn't noticed that he nearly walked into traffic.- A member of team cyclists decide to have a crack at it. After finishing War and Peace, while waiting for the traffic light to turn green, I move off and as I'm changing to 2nd, this cyclist just decides to change into my lane, making me slam the brakes to avoid impaling his silly old ass. Trot music blaring from a radio in the basket of his bike, he decides to over into another lane, forcing oncoming traffic to slam the brakes as well. He gets the special AWDGF award (Ajushi Who Doesn't Give a F)- Finally, before I can pull into the school parking lot, the entrance is blocked by parents, in their cheap little 4X4s who refuse to drop their kids and move off, opting to drop their kids, give them a 30min pep talk, then consider moving off. The school traffic guy goes up to their cars telling them to move and the pretty much just ignore him.F*, I hate driving here.
A buddy of mine and I were thinking about making posters and getting others to also join in on putting them on out cars. The posters will be in order to try to raise awareness, and will be in Korean. They will say things like "I will run you over."...Joking. We are thinking of things like "The left lane is for faster traffic, move over", "For everyone's safety, use your indicator", "Get off of your phone", maybe even "This lane is also for straight, you can wait" (just for you)...
