Korean is such a humongous ass language because even if I know all or almost all the words thats connected to a sentence there’s like fifty different iterations of it an extra Chinese and English loan version and maybe atleast 10 topic markers and many more conjugations for that word… like lord when I’m fifty I couldn’t even be on the same level as a three year old (but I’ll be fluent or atleast ok soon / eventually 화이팅)

#as you can see I’ve FINALLY actually started to learn Korean #before I would like do one Duolingo level and then give up or find a Korean learning website study one lesson then give up bc I was busy #and this went on for YEARSSSS it was ridiculous #but now I’m actually digging in bc I bought a Korean learning book that motivated me #and now I’m a lot better but still it’s like there’s an entire Great Wall of China behind actually getting on an even early beginner level #it reminds me of when I started to learn French but French was A LOT easier bc we share the same alphabet a lot of French has made it over-#to the English language or to phrases that English speakers understand or the words are the same and the same SVO sentence structure #but Korean is a whole other beast like kpop and kdramas didn’t teach me SHIT #I’m scared for when/if I start to learn Chinese bc it’s basically the Voldemort of languages for English speakers #but Korean and Chinese share a lot of their language so atleast I’ll have that small stepping stone #also I have no one to speak Korean with even tho there’s so many Koreans here I’m just scared #like there’s this one Korean girl in my class and I’m learning certain phrases so I can speak and ask her questions but I’m still super shy #and what if she’s like ‘can this Koreaboo 년 stfu’ LIKE PLS I JUST LOVE LANGAUGE LEARNING
