I wanted to learn a language so i didn’t get out of ~study mode~ over the summer and i wanted to become an English teacher abroad so i did some research into different countries and found that Korea has good opportunities for teaching. I learnt hangeul and some beginners grammar and have loved it ever since! It’s difficult, for sure, but it’s also been incredibly rewarding. It’s been almost 3 years.

That’s amazing! Don’t worry too much about picking it up, especially since you can practice with your boyfriend. The best thing is to really enjoy your studying and to become comfortable making mistakes so you can practice actually using the language as much as possible. Becoming able to communicate with people and exchange our cultures has been wonderful, so I’m sure you’ll have a good experience and will learn well. Good luck with your studies and I hope you enjoy it!
