One Excellent Walk in the Park
I took the scenic loop around the park this morning, hitting all the exercise equipment I passed. As I stopped to take a photo, I heard a cheery "Hello!" from behind me. I turned around and replied in Korean, as I always do here. That set off a flurry of Korean, and I had to explain that I really don't speak the language. "But your accent is very good." (I suppose it's easier to have a good accent when you speak only a few words.) In any case, the woman is a French professor. We had a delightful chat in French, English, and a bit of Korean as I completed my walk.

Shame on you that you haven't managed to learn some Korean yet ! I'll make you awager: you learn Korean (spoken) and I learn Japanese (spoken as wll). Let's see who comes out better!
ReplyDeleteI do actually know some Korean. But certainly not enough to carry on an intelligent conversation. Let me know when you can do that in Japanese!
ReplyDeleteI am way, way behind you, my Japanese totalling about 20 words, but it's a language and a culture that has always fascinated me, so I've been thinking it was high time I seriously got started...
