I still haven’t found the key. It’s only been four weeks, but damn, beginning a language with a totally different writing system, pronunciation and grammar is a mighty challenge.

4. There’s Korean heritage in my extended family
5. Lee Byung-Hun ♥

Are you learning immersion-style with only Korean in class? If I was wearing a hat, I'd take it off to you and your new language endeavor. Rock on sister!
You are really updating this blog
everyday!! Wow...
Anyway learning a new language is hard and I just admire you for doing this. I'm sure it is interesting, but I always like your positive energy for new things.
