Welcome to Gaia! ::

EDIT: FFFFFF I just saw that you had a whole subforum dedicated to my question. OTL Sorry. Just ignore my topic.


...Yeah...>_>

I'm Korean. South Korean, to be precise. I was adopted into the United States as a baby, and the only other Korean in my family is my brother, who was also adopted (but we're not blood related).

Growing up, I learned a little bit about my culture from Korean adoption get togethers, but I've forgotten a lot by now.

Does anyone know any good sites, or can tell me something? (And please don't tell me to "google" it, because that can take you to many different sites that might be boring and hard to follow.)

The reason I ask is because, even though I am Korean, I was never very interested in Korea. I was interested in Japan. I learned a lot about it from anime and other people, and I want to go visit it and learn their language. I think it's time for me to learn about Korea though, and I don't know where to start.

Korean is probably an easier language to learn than Japanese anyways, but I don't know much about Korea, so I'm not very motivated...^^;

That's pretty much the concept in all East Asian countries (with the exception of Japan, I believe). In Chinese and Vietnamese culture, you're also 1 years old when you're born and you turn a year older when it's the Lunar New Year.
