To promote global awareness, understanding, friendship, and intercultural learning between international students and scholars at UM & greater Missoula.
MIFP is great program that helps University of Montana international students get out into the community and experience the diverse culture of Missoula, MT. MIFP assigns "community friends" to students based on common interests. Community friends do not provide financial help and are not required to host their student friend, they are simply a friend and are there to help enrich the students' experiences here in Montana.

FUN WITH KOREAN FOOD AND LANGUAGE
Kimchi is a spicy, hot fermented pickle from Korea. I make it in a glass jar a couple of times a year. One of the ingredients is gochugaru, which is Korean hot pepper flakes. It is available at the Good Food Store or online at MilkStreet .com
I thought it might be fun to find out how to say gochugaru with Korean sounds, instead of English. It turns out that the G is pronounced like our K.
