      You can learn it online actually. Many sites are teaching Korean.
      Just curious : why Korean ? Why you didn't choose Japanese, German or any other language ?

      Anyway, this ajumma loves Korean food and kdrama. Love what you have shared so far. 😄

        Yup. Pronouncing Korean is hard. Korean is not as flat, enhanced and rough-sounding as Chinese.

        For Example, in Chinese, if you were to say a word. For example, Bing for Biscuit (饼). The B sounds really "B". It’s flat and rough sounding.

        Same for English. In English, if you were to say the color Pink. The P sounds really flat and rough-sounding too.

        While in Korean, if u were to use a word, say, Pah (파) it’s not pronounced as PAH nor BAH. It’s somewhere in the middle like a rough P and a gentle B.

        Of course, that’s just one example. There are MANY more hard-to-pronounce Korean letters.

              Here's the site where I learn Korean: http://sweetandtastytv.com/


              It's very detailed and has its own YouTube channel that creates videos. Take a look 🙂

                  :
                  maybe because Ichigokun likes Korean girls, thinking of marrying a Korean wife next time when he grows up. Therefore, he has to start learning Korean language now. Next time can communicate with his future MIL ? kekekekekekeke 😉

                    No lah… XD Korean women are quite fierce. My mom’s fren’s son married a Korean woman. Apparently she’s very fierce and the son listens to whatever she says :x

                      Actually I started learning Japanese before I started learning Korean. But since there are no alphabets in Japanese, it’s rather hard to learn, so I skipped to a new language: Korean.
