I can Understand Korean (in progress)

the title is my Goal, not my current status 😭😭😭

been korean duolingo-ing for 2 years liao but 惭愧地说, "no where near conversational"...maybe and only maybe can pick up a vocab here & there occasionally if the speaker speaks super duper slowly and keeps the sentences short & basic...  

expanding my learning with videos this holiday cos duolingo refused to let me practice more unless i pay... nopx, i'm not paying... =S

hopefully i will have more motivation and more determination and a lot more hardworking-ness so that i will be able to understand more Korean by our Korea trip in June 2026...   

 

'collating' all the videos here for easy retrieval for repeated listening... 

this series of short stories remind me of the Peter & Jane books that I had in primary school... i need the repetitions... 😅😅😅

my first korean song from Kdrama Full House 20 years ago... 😂😂😂

Believe in the butterfly effect:
