Both of my parents immigrated from Bolivia so I grew up having them mostly speaking in Spanish to me. I learned how to understand the language fluently, however, I rarely spoke it so I had trouble speaking conversationally. I studied Spanish in high school in order to improve on this and learning came easy to me because of my exposure to the language while growing up. I quickly improved on my grammar which allowed me to construct sentences to speak conversationally.
All of my experience in language learning has been “easy” to me so it’s definitely a new experience trying to learn Korean. Everything is completely new including the alphabet so it’s difficult forming patterns to help me memorize words. I’ll have to really devote my time to studying and practicing if I want to make significant progress in learning the language.
