Great blog. Is reading Korean really that easy? I mean, once you learn the characters how easy is it to translate a line of text into English?

I was always curious. I dont think i'll ever learn to speak korean but reading it would be nice

Great blog, 5/5!


It's very easy to read the characters, but translation is a lot harder because the grammar of Korean is essentially 'flipped' in comparison to English. I'm rubbish at translation, but translating English words which have been put into hangul is easy;

For Example: 뉴스 = (Nyoo Su.) News, 베스트 = (Besutu.) Best.

NeverGG, once you get used to the 'flipped' grammar it's incredibly easy and natural.

God damn Korean is so easy to learn.

Korean food is good. Hangeul is an exceedingly easy to learn writing system (the actual language, a bit harder and/or I'm lazy). However, I come from Michigan, so I have a nearly opposite view of the winter - not cold enough, not long enough, and not enough snow.

AHAHA! I didn't actually notice that until I read you post. That's awesome, I want a fence like that.

The Korean alphabet is very simple and phonetic. It's easy to sound it out and read it, but that doesn't mean you'll know what it is that you're reading.

I was about to tell him there is an actual language to learn first... >.>

There's a lot of people that can read Hangul without knowing the actual Korean language at all.

I can't speak perfect Korean...I'm like at a kindergarten level (my 5 year old niece in Korea could speak better Korean than me...), but my reading has no problems whatsoever...I'm just a little slow.

Like for instance I think Chill can read hangul perfectly fine, but I doubt he can speak the language at all.

how much soy sauce is used in their cooking?


There are many different kinds, but pepper paste is used as the most popular 'sauce' for most dishes.

Great write-up! I'd like to make it to S. Korea some day, but there are honestly a few other places on my list including your native country.

It's very encouraging to read stories about people that leap into the unknown and prosper as you have.

Aww thank you - it was actually my first time outside of England (I've never even been to Ireland!) so it was a bit nerve-wracking at first. Luckily the Korean infrastructure has decent enough support for English speakers to get around even if your Korean is non-existent. Good luck with your future travels I'd like to visit Japan again myself (to photograph it mainly.) as well as America, Australia and other parts of Asia such as Hong Kong.

I've traveled around a lot in my 20 odd years and i've always had plans to live abroad after finishing my degree. All my life i've imagined that place to be somewhere in Europe. Suddenly i'm thinking about Korea. Thank you.
