Greetings to all you people!

Hi everyone! The 20-time project fair was today, and hopefully many of you have now found yourself here as a result of that. I welcome you all and hope to briefly clue you in on what all I've got going on here.

I'm learning Korean! Woo-hoo!!

Why, you ask? Well, there are a couple reasons:
  • Learning a new language improves things like focus.
  • I had some prior knowledge of Korean from Tae-Kwon-Do.
  • I wanted to learn a language that was very different from English (a challenge).
  • Its fun!
I've been learning Korean primarily though a program called Living Language. It's a combo of audio, reading, and writing. You can learn more about it here.

I've been exposing myself to the Korean culture more and more throughout this process. Learning a language takes a lot of time, so doing this keeps it fresh and interesting. Listening to K-pop, watching Korean dramas, and watching YouTube videos on Korean Culture are my methods of choice.

If you happened to be at the 20-time project fair, and if you happened to pass by my booth, there is a strong chance that you left with a piece of Korean candy. If you are so inclined, you can check out some more info on the different types of candy I handed out as well as some other Korean treats here.


Thank you for stopping by!
Lauren
