I must say that I’m a language geek, I mean I’ve learned 3 languages so far but there’s this language I’ve always wanted to know for so long, which is Korean. Like Chinese and Japanese, the Korean language has its alphabetical system and uses a variety of characters in its writing, which is different from my mother tongue - one of Latin languages.
And about its speaking, the pronunciation and stresses are way more challenging than our language. Korean has a lot of similar sounds, and only when you pay close attention to them do you realize the minor differences between those sounds. So I guess it’s going to be kind of a big deal when I learn how to speak Korean, cause I really can’t tell the distinction.
The rich Oriental culture of Korea is probably the reason why I am attached to this language so much.
I remember vaguely when I was only 4,5 years old, that was the first time I ever watched a K-drama, and I was hooked right away, after just 1 episode. I started listening to K-pop when I was in middle school, and at this time Korea drew me in with its addictive melodies and slick choreography in its music. And what’s even more intriguing is Korea's exploding flavors and nutrient-rich food. I’m a sucker for Korean food, and I learned how to cook some traditional Korean food to indulge myself in this outstanding cuisine.
I wish that someday I could be fluent in Korean so that I could travel to this beautiful country, talk to its lovely people and enjoy authentic Korean food.
