"Huh... I suppose I should be grateful it wasn't anywhere else. I may not have ran into the garden and been taken captive." *She teases gently.*

Ah, here we are!

*Laito, his grip on Bella’s hand, brings her into a seemingly normal-looking cafe. It’s bustling with customers and the smell of sweets fills the air. Like any other cafe.

Except for one thing: the waitresses are all wearing maid outfits.

Laito looks at Bella with a sort of teasing grin; this is what she gets for letting him choose.*

King Sejong invented Hanguel in the 15th century. His goal wasn’t to inflict another language on his subjects. Rather, he created a 28-letter alphabet that was simple enough for even the lower class who didn’t attend school to learn. (Four letters were eventually dropped to its current 24-letter count.) Until then, most books and documents were written in classical Chinese, which was complicated and accessible primarily by the privileged upper class. He wanted everyone to be able to read, write and communicate in a common language. Knowledge would help equalize his people.

Of course, some of the nobles were angry about this. They were afraid the peasants would be able to figure out that they were being taken advantage of.

I hope I'm not being rude but how did you have the time to do everything on your bio when you're only 24? Can you share how you learnt a lot of languages?

It's fine. Believe it or not, people ask me that A LOT.

I'm born in Myanmar and only spoke Burmese until I was 10 and my mom decided her children should be able to speak English. She sent me and my sibling to an English Summer School and then started speaking English at home. I've been bilingual since then. Burmese people are very good at English (read: we were colonized by the British) I started learning Chinese at age 12, I think. Then at age 14 and 15, while writing novels and fanfictions, I taught myself how to read hanguel (korean script) and hiragana/katakana (japanese script) then started studying formally after graduating highschool.

In Myanmar, until a few years ago, high school students used to graduate at age 16 and go to the university. So when I graduated high school, I went the distance education route in University and became a freelance translator and interpreter. I also did some transcribing and content writing. Then I went to Korea and studied in a language program. I came back after nine months and at age 19 I just started taking things seriously and self studied everything to pass all the language certification exams.

In 2021, because of the military coup, I dropped out of high school, realized my freelance translator job is not really going well due to the dictatorship, so I started to branch out. Now I read tarot and interpret astrological birth charts, teach classes and tutor people, sell books and ebooks. That's just how freelancing is. I think.

Anyways, all these things seem a lot until you realize I just spent a decade of my life just doing things I want. A lot of people tried discouraging me of course They're always like "choose a language!" "choose a path!" but I just don't like to listen to people. Hopefully, a few more decades and I might become a jack of all trades. And learn a few more languages. And read a few more books. And get into a few more hobbies. Yeah.

I really wanna start learning korean again but I don’t really wanna download Duolingo again. Even though I feel like it was helping me. I just got annoyed with it. Does anyone have any suggestions for apps similar to it? I wouldn’t call myself a beginner. I know hanguel and was learning a lot of words and even starting to get a hold of the grammar.

I just feel like I was getting it better in a game format rather than trying to study on my own. So if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated! ☺️

I made a drawing of wooden blocks with Hanguel letters on them, I also wrote the word for wooden blocks in Korean.

Monday, July 8th

I’m way behind on posting so I will attempt to catch up today.

Monday and Tuesday there was a literal monsoon in Korea so most outdoor activities were a no go. Luckily Korea has an excellent public transportation system that requires minimal walking on the sidewalk, but lots of time underground in the metro. The ceiling or ac unit or something was leaking on the subway so even inside the train I couldn’t escape the rain. I spent these two days visiting museums as part of my quest to learn more about Korean history.

The first museum I visited on Monday was the National Museum of Korean. It is considered the top museum in Korea, and was enormous. It went through the entire history of Korea pre 20th century, starting with the Three Kingdoms (Baek, Silla, and Goruyeo) who competed with each other for centuries until the Goruyeo kingdom took charge. This evolved into the Joseon Dynasty that lasted from the middle ages until the end of the 19th century. This is considered a golden era in Korean history, with an over 200 year era of peace. Korea interacted a lot with Japan and China but fought fiercely to maintain their independence from these two competing powers as well as Russia. They resisted any western influence and were known as the “hermit kingdom” by the west for their refusal to engage. There was huge flourishing of arts and culture and the hanguel alphabet was developed by King Sejong the Great in the 1440s, who wanted to create a Korean alphabet that was intuitive and easy to learn, previously they had been using Chinese characters to write which are very difficult to learn to read and write. He based the alphabet off of the literal positions of the tongue in your mouth when specific sounds are produced. The linguistic nerd in me found that very cool.

In the 1880s due to military pressure from western powers they begrudgingly opened up diplomatic relations with the west, which resulted in a huge influx of foreign influences. Joseon was very strictly divided based on social class, wealth, Confucian social hierarchy, and status, and there was an enormous gap between the rich and poor. Western powers came in with egalitarian ideas of democracy and equality, which were very appealing to people of the lower classes that had been oppressed by the wealthy for so long. There was a big internal conflict between the wealthy who wanted to maintain tradition and protect Korean culture and the poor who wanted social advancement and rights, were interested in the advancements the west had to offer, and demanded social revolution.

Korea was put in a difficult situation with a lot of pressure from surrounding countries. The King of Joseon, King Gojong, declared that he would make a new government called the Korean Empire, in 1895, in order to assert their independence to competing world powers.

The Japanese, Russians, and Americans took advantage of the social unrest in Korea and slowly began encroaching on Korean society. For example, the Japanese eagerly began building railroads throughout Korea, which people were excited about but resulted in the Japanese slowly getting more and more control over the Korean economy and infrastructure.

In 1904, Russia and Japan fought a war to assert dominance over Manchuria and Korea. Both countries wanted to invade these areas. Japan won in 1905, and that is when the Japanese Invasion of Korea began.

This is where the museum ended, tomorrow I’m visiting Korea’s Independence Hall which goes into what happened next.

The museum was really cool. They had a lot of artifacts but they emphasized again and again that most of the historical artifacts pre Japanese invasion had been destroyed by the Japanese, and the only way these artifacts survived was through ordinary people hiding them and protecting them for decades.

The museum also had a cool virtual reality room where they took ancient Joseon art and made it into an immersive experience which was really cool. One of them recreated a painting of a rainstorm, can’t escape the rain even in the virtual reality experience.

Afterwards I went to Dongdaemun Design Plaza, which is a really cool looking modern building that had a lot of modern art exhibitions. I don’t really get modern art, but the building was really cool. I went to a Hello Kitty exhibit that was going on.

For dinner I had pajeon, potato pancake, it is tradition to eat pajeon in Korea when it rains because when it’s cooking it sounds like rain.

Until tomorrow,

I am learning, slowly. I know only a few words, but I am comfortable reading/writing Hanguel!

'SEO CHANGBIN: THE FACE OF HIPHOP, AND HOW IT FEELS'

Cold. Exhilarating. Lonely.

Like flying, only these days, he's looking down and he doesn't know where to land.

The magazines sit just inside the door to the corner shop, staring out at him - his own face, but different eyes, tinted a strange colour by whatever lenses they'd handed him on the day of that shoot. He's on the TV behind the counter too, head bent over a microphone in a music video he shot three months ago. When he turns, there's a small rack of albums against the other wall, his name scripted out across the top of the rack in a font of cursive hanguel.

Behind the counter, the cashier squeaks, a half-strangled noise that she just can't control.

Inwardly, he sighs. Ducks his head and disappears down an aisle, searching the shelves for the snack he wanted with the speed of a blind man trying to search with his eyes. He'd known this would happen, even if he'd told himself it wouldn't. He doesn't go anywhere these days, cap and mask or otherwise, without someone saying his name - he could swear a cat on the street the other day had looked and him and known who he was.

Even if he doesn't say it, lest he be called stuck up or egotistical, the numbers don't lie; he is the face of hiphop, the most successful rapper in the country. The top of the billboard belongs to him, except for a rare month when he might take some time off of producing or touring or promoting, whatever it is someone has teed up for him next. #we'regoingup, he'd written on all his content when he'd first started out, and now here he is - so high, he blocks out the sun over Korea, so bright that even when he walks down the street, people can't help but stop and stare, and he doesn't know why.

And it's not that he doesn't appreciate it, it's just- just for once, he'd wanted to buy a packet of chips and stand out on the street in the sun and eat them, without having to paste a smile on his face and politely greet someone with a name and a face that he would have no hope of remembering an hour on.

Sighing, he takes the chips he'd spotted three minutes ago, and wanders around to the counter, face deliberately turned away from a man that has just entered the store. The girl behind the counter gasps, her hands moving in slow motion as she rings him up. Her mouth opens, but nothing comes out; he takes advantage of that shock, slides the money across the counter and backs away with his chips, thanking her oh so politely as he tries not to abjectly run away.

Outside, alone, he watches a car speed past and pulls in a breath of fresh air, his feet soft against the pavement as he walks away. He gets five steps of freedom before the man in black falls in place on his tail, his hands in his pockets and his eyes sharp like a hawk, scanning the street from beneath a fringe of black and brown.

[dojae-huh]

Correct...when tae said it he wrote it in english. Jae also put haechan story but didnt write anything but in doyoung 's story he thanked him but write it in hanguel why??? He is one of the english trio in the group then why would he type it in hanguel he can just write in english right??? Am I being illlusional?? Anywys I like it....

We can't know, but I can tell you that it is a possibility. It is a guess, not a delusion. Jaehyun does play with words, he likes being smarty like that.

It would be a delusion if JaeDo didn't have any history of being lovers or shown signs of attraction. One operates within a given context. It is Valentine's day, a day for lovers.

The Great Teacher, Homer Hulbert In Yanghwanjin

King Sejong invented the Hangeul letters, But for a long time those was not widely used Even between the people, the transmitters Were the traditional letters, so it couldn't be fused. The great King invented the letters for the people But the missionaries diffused the Hangeul to the people.

Most of the plain people were illiterate. The missionaries translated the English Bible To Hangeul, and taught it, at last they be literate. He researched the letters and taught the people. The Great King invented the Hanguel, so he's the father. Hulbert fostered the letters, he's the mother.

The old Korea was called as the Morning Calm And the most people were poor and lived with no hope, Due to the Hulbert, full of balm Are the letters, and people have the right and hope, For a long time, Korea had received the American assistance. To the other country, Korea can give the assistance.

He'd fought with Korean for many years Against for the old thought, freedom and independence. For Korea, he shouted to the stuffy ears, For assisting Korean to regain the independence. Though, he didn't witness the success of Korea, But the Great Teacher's resting in Yanghwajin in Korea.
