Learning Korean

I spend a lot of my free time attempting to learn Korean. Learning another language is a difficult thing. At least, learning Korean is- I bet I could be fluent in Spanish in about two months if I felt like it, but Korean is much more difficult.

Anyways, this is my Korean academy, 가나다 한국어학원, or Ganada (ABC in Korean) Korean Language Academy. I have been studying there for about two months. Classes meet Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for 3 hours each day in the morning. I took the placement test when I first went there, so I was able to skip the beginning classes, and started at "Elementary 2, Part One," which basically means that I started in month 3 of a 12 month program.

I wish I had started studying there earlier. I had learned a lot by myself before I started studying at the school, but without being forced to spend 3 hours a day studying, there is no way I could improve quickly like this on my own.

This picture below is not from a bookstore, but rather from my own bookshelf. And this isn't everything- I have had many other Korean books over the years. Whenever I got bored of studying, which was pretty often, I would go out and buy a new book. Throwing money at the problem....



Below is a random page from my new book, Intermediate 1 (No more elementary books for me, haha!). 요즘 밤에 아르바이트를 하거든요. It means something kinda like "because I have a part time job these days." There are far too many ways to say "because" or "so," and too many difficult to remember rules about when to use each one, says me.
