Why do I want to learn Korean? It's pretty simple: I really really really want to have a nice loooong trip to Seoul and be able to interact with the locals. I want to be able to ask a Korean if this is the right metro line to get to the Blue House in their own language and not have to ask 12 different people in order to find one that speaks English. And besides, I think Korean is a beautiful language. I adore hangul, it's so rational and simple to learn. I love how Korean sounds and the way Korean people talk it, in such an expressive way. You know what I mean, right? No? When a Korean speaks, even though I may understand just a few words here and there, I feel like I get what they're trying to say, because of the way they say it. What? You still don't get it? Yeah, well...Maybe I'm just a weirdo :P
