I've been watching Korean TV shows online, and yesterday I decided ? just for the heck of it ? to learn how to read and write in Korean.
And in one day I've managed to do just that.
It's so cool, because a lot of Korean shows have captions ... and now I can actually read them! I still can't understand the language beyond a few words (at least without English translations or subtitles), but now I can at least read what any Korean text says ? and write it out any words I come across, too. I'm chuffed!
오빤 강남 스타일!
