I had been interested in Korean Pop music since I was in Junior high school. I really like those songs' style and beats when I listened to them. And then after a while, I found that I could sing those songs even I had never learned Korean before. So I started to pay attention on how to pronounce the Korean right and I learned a lot of vocabularies in this way. For now, I can already understand part of my korean friends conversation. I think listening to korean pop music help me a lot. From my opinion, K-pop is not only a culture thing, it is also a useful way for people to learn language. It help me learn more vocabularies and help me know how to pronounce the vocabulary right.
And because I really like K-pop music, I start to like dancing and I joined the dance club in the school. The korean pop dance is really unique and different with other dance style. It is not belong to any other dance style. The dance style of k-pop is really diverse. This is also my favorite part of Korean culture.
At the same time, I also watched a lot of korean reality show on television. Those shows are interesting. But what most attractive to me is the food in reality show. They are quite different with Chinese dishes and American food. I liked eating Korean food a lot. I always went to the korean restaurant in Richmond. And I actually learned how to use Korean to order food from the casher in the restaurant. Because if I am going to study in Korea, I must know how to order food. Now, I already know a lot of food names and I can order food by myself.

Learning a language through listening to songs is a great approach. One of my friends learned English this way and it has really helped him to understand slang phrases and more casual sentences. In schools they oftentimes teach very proper forms of a language, so this is a good way to go around that and it makes learning more fun.
