Why I started studying Korean?

My vision of urban planning (something I study and I like both and interest) is that society is reflected in the planning and vice versa. In order to expand knowledge and not staying with the biased view of just knowing English or European urban planning, I wanted to learn about one that was totally different and because Asia has always interested me, in fact see Asian cinema will VOS from over 9 years, I chose to learn an Asian language. Because learning about a culture, learn their language is one of the key points in order to have a better understanding.
So after an initial selection process were the three major languages: Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
The Chinese were the first to be discarded, because of its difficulty and I heard he was no more difficult to learn.
"Japanese or Korean? not take long to decide. Although years ago had tried to sign up for Japanese courses at my university with my best friend, provided we got when the squares were covered, so the logical thing would have chosen this language, not only because it had been considered previously but because it is much easier to access their learning by having classroom courses at university, EOI and in case of not getting seats in private schools. For it was just that
what made me even more by opting Korean. There is a tactic when you awake very bad start and all the other competitors are far ahead of yours, is to go by the board that no one will, hopefully there is a wind shift and favors because you go where you go all the stragglers catch up and even get to half but it is difficult to reach the top, at least for a normal person.
And I do not regret, with the first "class" and I began to see that I loved the language for end to end completely in love and enjoy much of his study as a hobby.


Why I decided to do a blog?
Show

Because when I started studying Korean, I realized that the network could be a problem since there were many unfinished resources, especially English. Also, I thought that sharing my experience and help others in my situation would be a good idea.

Almost all good resources are in English. I have no problem with understanding the language but I know that many others do have.
is Talktomeinkorean.com A great place, thanks to people with ideas like Hyunwoo Sun (선현우) and his team, who share and teach for free, many others can learn Korean. I share this idea seems wonderful and I decided to create the blog. I must say that after he was born TTMIK blog but I already knew Hyunwoo before other projects with the same philosophy applies, that is not the only person who teaches and shares, such as Professor Hyun, another pillar in my learning.

And the last reason was that knowing me if I started a blog and readers appeared to be unable to let me out due to the commitment made with them, also born a small community of students and we would not be so alone in our self-study learning.

I started with zero knowledge about being a blogger, blogs and HTML but I'm learning on the basis of trial and error.
What

makes me study Korean?
Show

lot and as I always say, no one knows that the future holds.
Now I hear a lot: "Korean?, You're wrong, Chinese is the language of the future. I guess for someone commercially oriented itself but not what I was looking for.
and work ... you never know what might happen.
But at least I'm experiencing a great personal growth, learning and making great friends, planning, starting and carrying out interesting projects, etc..


Which brings me to keep this blog?
Show

Economically, nothing. Personally, a lot. And keep a blog
ordered removed a long time.
Interact with other Korean students is always good, I know more people interested in language, some come and go, others have a strong start too soon fades and others stay. Also, I'm learning a lot in other fields and not growing much thought.
never know what I have prepared the morning but can be upgraded with more or less frequently, will not abandon aprenspan. I am not saying the blog because at this rate I will be little place with all the ideas that haunt my head.


What study?

* My advice to learn through self
* * My method of study *


A word that defines me: responsible.
Show

When I start something I am responsible to 100%, which means you will not abandon the project as soon as I get bored, I become lazy or leave me better. Leave without finishing something I started is stored in my memory as something negative so unless force majeure put every effort on my part for the project that I embarked to a successful conclusion.
Being responsible also means that in addition to the things I have to do them well, but not only well, but the best you can, striving to learn and improve during the process so that it affects the quality of the product and make me grow. And there's nothing better to learn to listen to opinions, suggestions and investigate more experienced sources. I am always open to listen and debate, an idea that can not be applied now may be a key point in the future.
Being responsible also means that I'm thoughtful when choosing if I do something or not, should I be sure I will develop a good work according to my ability and that the end result is less satisfactory.
