>Is anyone here learning Korean specifically because of K-Dramas, or for another reason? How is it going for you, what do you like about it?
Incoming blog.
It all stems (mostly) from Kpop for me. Which Im trying to mature my interest in Kpop into liking K-Dramas, Korean history, and eventually learning Korean.
Thing is, learning a language is a time consuming, difficult, high effort, and high maintenance hobby. While my interest is with South Korea right now, overall, I probably have more interest in Japan. Learning Japanese alone is like a full time job, learning both Korean and Japanese is... very unrealistic. I made the decision a while back to cut Korean and study Japanese. Still though, I eventually ended up picking up this Korean language book. Which I havent had time to actually start. Even if not the whole language, I still want to know some basic Korean to understand some Kpop, and maybe some K-Dramas. I like the little words Ive learned already like nugu and chingu, Honestly I just want to go full Korean but I know long term Ill probably return to Japanese interests.

My Korean history is going well though, Im like halfway through that book. Feel like it gives a bit of context to the context of an average South Korean, which in turn makes me understand K-Dramas a little bit better.
