      Sure sure, but I love languages in general. Some people learn how to skateboard, I learn Korean. Are they both practical in real life? No. Doesn't mean they don't fulfil a purpose.

    All that hard work! Good job girl! 🙌 Korean is really beautiful sounding to me which is why I am learning it, but to learn any language is a great accomplishment, because it takes a lot of work.

    Yes, I have had several people ask me why I would bother. I tell them that I started off loving Korean dramas and then got curious about Korean history and then wanted to learn more about the culture. After I had been learning the language for a few months I realized how fascinating, logical and fluid the language was and I got hooked. So now I want to speak and read Korean well enough to read Korean history in Korean and eventually be able to visit. There are also several novels I want to read with no English translations and ChatGPT misses quite a bit of nuance in translations so I am going to learn and then read myself!

      Ooh! If you don't mind, what books are those that you want to read? (I can't find any good books in Korean... other than those specifically made for learners of the language...)
      I personally learned Korean for 3 years, from 2018 to 2020 but then stopped, lost motivation and haven't picked up the studying at all... how should I get back to learning the language? I have 0 motivation :/

    My family didn’t want me to learn Korean because it’s not « useful », so we came to an agreement : they finance my Korean learning journey only if I learn another « useful » language. So I’m learning Spanish to be able to learn Korean 😅☺️

    I believe most people have the mindset that you learn a language for a profitable reason. You learn it because you're going to that country for business and want to impress your business partners or be able to order for yourself at a restuarant. Or you learn the language because everyone around you speaks it. They think its a waste of time to learn a language simply because you like it, and look down on languages from smaller countries who have less global influence. Yet korean isn't a small language. If you include everyone that speaks it, either as a first or second language, you'd have about a 100 million people. Plus kdrama and kpop are so popular these days that you hear korean wherever you go nowadays, especially online. More and more business is being done with korea thanks to kbeauty, hyundai, samsung, and other business ventures. So even from a business standpoint, its beneficial to learn korean. Either way, learning any language breaks down the language barrior between you and millions of people and pieces of literature, media, ideas, culture, etc. Language is beautiful and always worth learning.

    I mean it makes sense to ask that. Useful languages are english, french and spanish. Unless you're moving to a specific country. Korean is only good for korea and learning a new language is extremely difficult. Logical question, really

Thanks Korean I met a Korean girlfriend and she will spend Christmas with our family in my country (Czech Republic) this year... 😅 So even though it's hard, I would like to encourage everyone that the time you spend with Korean is worthy... Don't give up! Do what you love! ❤️

    I cannot help but I think expressing the apparent uselessless of learning of their language is kind of rude.
    In particular, the reputation of a country and its language depends a lot of its (positive) influence in the world. As more people speak the language, as more influence the land will have.
