Extra Challenge

Nope. It's not the ever-popular show in GMA-7's Kapuso channel.

It's just that, I've been challenging myself once again. When I was still younger, I always crave for informations. I am very eager to learn. My brain is knowledge-hungry freak. I've always wanted to be an adult so that I can watch or read or experience what adult people enjoys.

The challenge? Learning a new language. Yes, Korean language. Not the Japanese or Chinese or Norsk I wrote in one of my post. Why Korean? I was fascinated with their language. Maybe too much watching Koream movies and series influence me much. :-P

I started my self-study last Monday. And so far, I can write and read simple and not-so-simple korean language already. Nevertheless, I have still troubles translating what it means. Or the proper pronunciation of the words I am reading.

Reason? I don't know. My friend said, "kina-career ko na" (getting at it). Maybe I am. It's quite funny because I am here in Taiwan for such a long time but I wasn't able to learn chinese language so much. Sorry, but I really find chinese character and words hard to learn. Whereas for Korean, In just a couple of hours, I can read, write, and translate some words in romanized form. That's a feat.

It's also strange because I only know like one Korean person comparaed to more than one chinese friend. Odd? Hmn. Maybe yes. But let's see. I have all the time in the world. I have still a long way to go and who knows, I might have the courage to learn chinese in the near future.

Then, in parting, let me just say, "Aja"!
