One of my new year’s resolutions was to bump up my language skills in languages I know and a brand new language. The two languages I decided to focus on are Spanish and Korean. After having a great time picking up the basics of the Indonesian language, I thought it would be a good idea to start from scratch on a language that I have a better chance of using in the future. So yesterday I finally got started learning the Korean writing system (Hangul) at work during my lunch break. By the end of the day, I think I’ve got the basics down. I was able to write my own name, and at home last night I was able to read Korean words English origin. Not bad for just a few hours of study.
I’ll spend the rest of the week focusing on Korean, and then next week switch to Spanish for a refresher course. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep all the languages straight in my head.
