The Studies

It's been nearly a year now since I first began studying Korean as a language. First independently then moving on to a classroom setting. I have to admit that it was a big commitment on my part. I was doing well in studying Spanish, hardly did I ever study or care about the upcoming exams. But when I switched my academic language to Korean it all changed for me. I am consistently pushed to my limits to curb my learning, replace English words such as "Library" with "도서관" and phrases such as "where are you going" with "어디 가 세요?"  Dedicating about at six hours to studying or practicing.  This incredibly different language is incredibly difficult.  Spanish was easy and I would of became an awesome fluent speaker in Spanish  if I would have kept with it, but It wasn't rewarding to me and I actually grew a bitter hatred for it. So I dropped it.
