I have heard people speak the Korean language, especially in movies, and I think the one word or phrase I would like to use is "Gamsahamnida". It means thank you.
One of the reasons I chose it is because it's a widely used phrase. It's can be used as a show of gratitude or simple courtesy. I say thank you almost every day and it would be nice to say it in Korean. Besides, Gamsahamnida isn't complicated to say. It's simple to pronounce.
It's the first Korean phrase I ever learnt because I heard it a lot when I watched Korean movies. It captured my interest.
I took some time to learn how to pronounce it, although I don't know if I have gotten right, but I'll keep saying it.
I remember the first time I heard it, the lady bowed with her hands together as she thanked the man. This was in a movie. It was a good way to show gratitude and respect as well.
I love to learn other languages. I believe it's a way to interact with other cultures and just appreciate the variety that comes with it. Language is a huge part of culture. Speaking a certain people's language shows that you're either part of their culture or want to be part of it.
It shows how much you like the culture. It's also a way of connecting with the people of that culture. When you speak a person's language, they become relaxed with you, you easily become friends with them. They can even help you even though they don't know you much.
This is one reason I'm open to speaking the Korean language. It would be a great way to identify with the beautiful Korean culture. In addition, it's an amazing way to relate with and connect with Koreans.
Well, I guess I'll end with saying Gamsahamnida.
