Alright, here's my first blog post :DD

So in order of the title...

First, I was high D- in iccup, and last week I got to 28 in my diamond division at 750. I know it doesn't seem like much, but considering I play random and lose as zerg 78% of the time, it's not that bad. I feel pumped. At this point I feel like my macro is finally half decent, and I'm super excited, even though I know it means nothing :DD

Secondly... I've been wanting to learn korean for a long time. (I actually ran into starcraft through korean language starcraft stuff) However, I"ve never gotten past the basics, and I'm unsure how to progress. It would be great to learn a decent amount by the time I leave so as to not be a stupid scrub. Where can I find good resources?

Lastly, I leave you with a replay I won (yes, I messed up the description) because the other guy didn't expand despite the fact I was incredibly screwed. (and got mined out...)

I think few youtube videos can help, but watch arirang tv. I think they cover Korean stuff in English, as well as few lessons.

Yeah. The main problem I ahve is I get started, but then I feel like although I know phrases I don't know grammar. And then I start the grammar part and I"m lost rofl.

Only way you will get progress with learning Korean is meeting people. Find a class / tutor or do language exchange.

Yeah. I know at least 50 people that live really close to me that speak, so if I started working with them.... It's how it works with spanish too tbh. Although I"m taking Honors spanish, I don't feel like I speak that well..
