I have studied Korean for about 7 years now. I studied the language for one year in the classroom (intensive study), and since then I've just been trying to maintain it on my own. My speaking/writing skills are very poor, although my listening and reading skills are fairly high. I would say my speaking skills are close to a beginner level, but my listening/reading is maybe upper-intermediate. I would also like to start learning French. I took one semester of college French just to pick up the basics, and now I'm trying to expand on what I've learned on my own. I'm a pretty boring person, unfortunately. I don't have a lot of hobbies. I love dogs, and I have one dog named Ella. I like to cook when I have a chance, and I like to read although I'm a picky reader. I've also started learning to play the piano recently. I love to travel and stay active, so I like visiting places with mountains. I love hiking! I would say my favorite vacation spot is Colorado, but I also like New Mexico. I like running, although I haven't ran much since I sustained an injury. I like listening to podcasts and watching TV when I feel lazy. :)
