I Have Started

Instant Korean soup

Korean language on you tube today. Very interesting to learn and I am motivated to learn. Watching Korean dramas with English subtitles is wearing my eyes out. I don’t have problem watching while listening to the Korean language and reading the English subtitles. In fact, I have found out that I can read the subtitles faster than before. It seems that my brain has a lot of exercises since I have watched Korean and Chinese movies. My friends and I are already planning to have a few days vacation in South Korea for a few days before going to the Philippines when it is already possible to travel. Besides learning the Korean language, I was able to write for 2 hours on my book this afternoon. These two are my challenges this year. I hope I will be successful. Fingers cross. Anyway, how was your day? Thank you for reading. The photo is the instant Korean soup that I have tried a few days ago. Tasted good but hot.

You have such a gift for languages and I hope you get a chance to use it in South Korea. You’ve had a busy day! The soup looks good.

@DianneN Thank you. Yesterday, I was not doing my schedule. I had to walk to the lake with my friend as the weather called for a walk. So I am doing what I have not done yesterday today. Enjoy your Sunday.

Good that you are motivated to learn a new language. Once the basics are learned, then it will become easy to become fluent by watching Korean dramas.

@thelme55 I became fluent in the Indonesian language in three months. It helped no one was speaking English in Surabaya in the 1980s. I had to as I had started on a job there. I am fluent in two Indian languages and okay with another.

@Shiva49 Wow! That is great. 3 months is a short period of learning but you have done it It reminded me of my German language learning when I came to Germany in the 80s. Wow! That is great that you can speak Indian languages, too.

I think that you are right that I am ambitious to learn another language @LindaOHio. I still remember that I learned Italian language in school for a year before traveling to Italy for a few days. Thank you. Have a wonderful day, too.

That is impressive to know that you are learning another foreign language. I think at my age right now it is harder for me to learn a new language. Good luck on that and hopefully you'll enjoy those Korean movies and series more conveniently if you can understand their language and not relying on the translation below.

Me, too @RebeccasFarm. I hope to go there when the pandemic is over and we can travel again. I am thinking of flying from Germany to Seoul, Korea, stay there for a few days and then continue flying to the Philippines. If that is possible. I hope it would be. It is time to save for my travel plan.
