The main reason I am learning Korean is that we are *going to Korea for a holiday and I don't just "assume" everyone should speak English, I will try to learn as much as I can, but in the UK it is very difficult - not much Korean here so I am having to teach myself! ( I have never had to learn a language before!)
I love Korean pop music and films (thank goodness for subs), so am completely hooked!
*Update - having now been to Korea - I can't wait to return, so I intend to carry on learning, ready for my next visit!!
*** Updated update*** Now looking forward to my 3rd visit to Korea in September!
**Just got back from 4th trip to Korea - a place that never ceases to amaze me!!!!!!!
(now planning my 5th trip...)
