    Korean. Going ok. Hard to find motivation at times, though. I don’t listen to or particularly seek out KPop, which seems to be a major driving force for a lot of non-Korean Americans learning the language. I wanna read Korean theory in the native language and go to the DPRK. With how difficult it is and will continue to be for Amerikans to go, like I said it’s difficult to maintain motivation.

        대한민국에 오기 전에 한국어를 잘 못 했는데 요즘은 더 괜찮아요. 지금 학원 다니고 있어요. 비싸긴 한데 이러게 혼자보다 빨리 공부할 수 있어요. 아직도 많이 몰르니까 매일 부지런하게 숙제를 완성하고 열심히 보카를 옌습할거예요.

      I’ve thought about learning Korean for a similar reason, to understand more about the DPRK and Juche.

      I had a classmate from the DPRK when I was studying in Beijing for a time. We were both pretty advanced in Mandarin, so that’s how we spoke with each other. She actually had me tutor her in English a few times. She was a really cool person and I regret not learning more from her.

      Do you know of any resources that focus on the northern dialect?
