I just wanted to say "thank you" and wish you the best of luck. Hopefully, you have stayed with Korean over the past 6 years and are much more fluent.Gerry Bevershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311939520870098017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9424060.post-48628746334102223632010-02-22T02:03:04.509-06:002010-02-22T02:03:04.509-06:00I just wanted to say thank you for linking to my b...I just wanted to say thank you for linking to my blog in this post - I feel flattered and pleased by your observations.<br /><br />For at least 2 years, I have had your blog in my "list of useful places" that I use when I'm searching for answers to some abstruse Korean grammatical question. Despite this, I have to confess that I rarely visit your blog, for a rather selfish reason: I find it so discouraging to my own efforts to learn Korean, because when I look at your posts, I realize just how much about the Korean language I still have to master, and how insubstantial my own progress feels, especially given the time I've spent here.<br /><br />But regardless, I really like to see that there are other non-Koreans who have fallen in love with the language, specifically. It's possible to meet many non-Koreans who love the country and/or the people, but very few who have what might be called an aesthetic yet linguistically sophisticated appreciation of the language, specifically. I like the country and its people well enough, but it's the language that has me hooked, at this point. Hopefully someday I will reach a point where I could begin confidently to write even something as simple as this comment, in Korean.<br /><br />~CAVEAT DVMPTRVCK (aka Jared)jaredwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131694691810046472noreply@blogger.com
