I really enjoyed your pictures and video from your days as a reporter; just wanted to say your hard work is very well appreciated! The figure maniacs thread was not very long-lived, but real fun! By the way, "puchi" in British accent is incredibly cute  | ||

TBH I doubt even with constant study and/or a natural affinity for language learning I could have become fluent in Korean in five years. I don't socialize with Korean people/non-english speakers/people in general enough to make it worth learning more than I need to. I can write/read hangul, order food, use public transport (well it is in english) and do most of the other things I need to without help (aka. visiting the pharmacy etc.) I never saw this as a super long term life change for myself, so learning Korean became a very low priority. If I need to do something special (visiting the doctor etc.) then I'll check out the correct sentences etc to explain what I need. Other than that I'd rather not waste my leisure time learning a language I'm never going to use again ^^; | ||

If you wanted to socialise with English speaker mostly would it not have been better to just stay in the UK? I say this without having a dig at you. I just find expatriates that seem to live in their own little bubbles in the major cities of East Asia a puzzling breed. | ||

Learning a language is super hard and your gonna at least have a year or two concentrating on just trying to learn it. And most people that are busy with their academics, work and etc. doesn't really have time to learn the language and even if you try to speak to locals what they usually do is giggle and laugh on your face and try to speak English..... Fact is some people are good with languages some are not its just the way of life... | ||
