Learning languages is always fun. How i wish i could talk many languages. But there is one language that i would really like to learn very much which is Korean. Predictable reason, because i want to know what they are talking about in their movies and dramas and what the meaning of the songs they sing. I wish to find some Korean Friends so they could teach me their language...If you are Korean, be my friend, ok??? :)
Let's see below some basic about Korean language.
