Short key for switching from English to International Language?

Hi Everyone,

I'm not very tech savvy so I'm not sure if I'm explaining this properly but here it goes: I usually type in English, but sometimes I switch back and forth between English and Korean in the same sentence. Is there a way I can use a short key instead of clicking on the international language icon on the top right (next to battery life) of the screen with my mouse every time I want to switch between English and Korean?

I'd really appreciate your help!

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Go to system preferences/international/input menu and down to the bottom and you will see the info on the keyboard shortcuts for changing layouts. Apple/Command + Space normally.

Yay~! It worked!! Thank you, Tom! I really appreciate your help.
I had asked a guy working at the Apple store here in Honolulu yesterday the same question; he actually told me that it's not possible to do that (?!). But I've seen it done before so I thought I'd ask online. Thank you!!
