English-language learners might find it interesting to follow Simon Cho in the upcoming winter Olympics in Vancouver. He’s a Korean-born speedskater who lived in this country illegally as a child, but is now a U.S. citizen and representing this country in the Olympics this year (Learning the Language – Mary Ann Zehr).

I haven’t paid much attention to the Olympics since they were here in Utah. I mainly celebrated that one by partying a lot down at the Dutch House (and it was awesome when they won gold). I had to buy some orange clothing so that I could fit in with the crowd.

Anyway, I’m interested to follow Cho this year.
