It started just us being in love with Korean Dramas and next thing you knew my sister was already taking a class. Due to my busy schedule I was content to simply watch a few dramas and listen to Korean songs. It helps that may of the sites that we watch our dramas on, have subtitles.

So many people learn a language and can speak it, but can't read it. Can read it and not speak it or understand it, and not speak it. It's really kind of weird I think. I'd love to know another language, but as my grandmother told me she actually forgot much of her language when they came over here to America because if you don't speak it every day you forget.
