Who is Terry

Welcome to LEfF!

HI! I’M TERRY. I work at Carnegie Mellon University as a faculty in the School of Computer Science’s Master’s Program in e-Business.

As a non-native English speaker and working in the U.S., I have learned a lot of useful (?) English expressions from a lot of things around me like work, shopping, school, etc.

But, most of all, there have always been my friends (Andrew, Jake, Patrick, Phil, Alex, Ari, Carol and even more). After having so many funny stories and my own thoughts about the expressions, I decided to record as many as possible so that I can remember and possibly share them with you. My goal is publishing at least two or three expressions per week.

Please remember this is for learning what expressions are really used by people so that we can eventually understand and, if necessary, use them! So, I have to warn you that there might be a few contents which may include Rated-R level (?).

Oh, do you want to know about me a little more? My name is Terry Lee and I came to the U.S. from South Korea in July, 2006 to study. With the MS in Information Technology degree, I started to work for a fast-growing software company from 2007 summer. Many of my friends at work also call me “T-Bone”. In Aug 2010, I started my new career as a faculty at Carnegie Mellon University. Before Terry Lee, there was Eun-Sun Lee (이은선), my Korean name. Not sure how many people could pronounce my Korean name correctly. Well, that is why I decided to have an English name, Terry. One thing I really do not like is being at home, doing nothing. Whenever there is free time, I always try to find something to do like golf and soccer. During winter, I snowboard and go to a climbing wall to rock climb three times per week. I have a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Doe and am a lifeguard. Here is my LinkedIn profile. And, here is the core faculty page of ISR that I belong to.

I know there are so many non-native English speakers out there. So, if you want to share your funny stories in LEfF?

Please, send me your story! I will make sure that it is your story.

I also know there are so many native English speakers out there. Of course, this is America. So, if you want to share your opinions?

Please, feel free to add your comment! I will approve very generously.
