I’m back to publishing my Korean journey, showing how I study Korean and what I have learned/found along the way; to hopefully help other students and connect with all of you! I started studying Korean in 2019. Before I started I was a fan of K-pop, Korean dramas, variety shows, and everything in between since 2009. So while I started with some knowledge I gained through that time, I decided to officially start studying.
My language learning experience was pretty limited. I grew up monolingual, and being raised in Canada, French classes were required, so I took them as a child. Then in high school, I started studying Japanese through classes offered at my school.
Jump to 2019, and I was struggling a bit within my personal life, and being stagnant in my life is something I always wanted to avoid. So to gain some control, I suddenly decided to pick up studying Korean more seriously than the passive learning I was doing before.
Shortly after I started studying, I made a studyblr (study Tumblr) with a focus on Korean to help myself keep focused, connect with more people, and help others learn new things. I enjoyed it so much, throughout my time there I gained thousands of followers and regularly had people asking for my advice and help with their own questions about Korean! I really liked helping others, and researching their questions when I didn’t know, which helped me learn more myself. But sadly, I fell off out of posting when my life got too busy and hectic. I would love to build that up again and create a community here for people to learn, connect, and keep all of us accountable toward our goals!
