Cultural Post #1 - 110

[Abigail Sohkhlet]

I like learning new scripts because I love being able to read languages even if I cannot understand them. Learning new Korean vocabulary would also be a plus point but mastering the script is my main goal. This may seem futile because if I were to go to Korea I would not be able to communicate if I do not know the meaning of each word but learning foreign scripts and being able to write them in a credible and sophisticated manner is something that has always interested me. That is why for this course, I hope that when I write my letter, I will be able to write it meticulously and neatly (while also understanding what I would be writing of course). Apart from learning the Korean script, I want to be able to communicate with my friend in Korean to show my respect and appreciation for her since she took care of me during the years we attended a boarding school. I feel that learning someone else’s language and cultural is a very good way to show respect for someone.
