"Learning How to Read and Write in Korean"
When I was a child, I already have the passion for learning new languages. The first language I learned to speak was Chinese Mandarin during the pandemic. But when face-to-face classes resumed, I stopped studying (even though I had already made a lot of progress) and focus on my academics instead. You may wonder why I chose to pause learning languages for school. Well, it's because during my junior high years, I was a very competitive student and I used to excel in every class. Because of that, I don't have enough time to learn things that weren't related to school (I even pause my piano lesson).
4 years have passed and now I am back to learning languages again. However this time, I am aiming to learn Korean, not Mandarin. I still remember Mandarin phrases but not enough to hold a proper conversation anymore. Maybe after mastering Korean, I'll return to learning Mandarin again.
I bought two Korean Books for me to master.
You might also ask why I chose to learn Korean first instead of continuing Mandarin (the language I started). The answer is simple: I was encouraged to volunteer in the Korean Group in our religion because they need more pioneers like me. And that's where my journey in learning Korean truly began.
For 50 days, I set a goal: to be able to read and write in Korean. And yes, I achieved it. The results of my hard work were worth it because I can now read and write in Hangul. The next things I need to focus on are grammar and batchim (final consonants).
Learning Korean is still challenging for me, especially when I get confused about when to use certain particles or syllables (like objective markers). But I believe I can overcome these struggles. Maybe someday, I will be able to travel to Korea and finally used what I've learned.
And that's it, I think I've shared enough for now haha. Thanks for reading everyone!
