Annyeong!
I really don't know much Korean, but I am Korean! sweatdrop
I know all the letters of Hangul and therefore I can pronounce what I read, I just don't know what it is that I'm reading.
Hopefully, I'll get to go to Concordia this year and learn some stuff . . . confused

Ironically, there are two kids in my English class that are constantly throwing rapid Korean across to each other. My friends are poking me asking me what they're speaking.
I know what it is because it sounds like it, and can recognize it. But I really want to learn it. Just for the knowledge part, and well, one day, to just start joining in on the conversation just to scare them. XD They're good friends of mine.
