22nd Musing: Learning Korean...

It's so hard! I'm not sure which is worse: this or Chinese :P However, the Korean writing system has even less letters than us, which is nice. And, apparently, knowing Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korea) is not necessary to even a native.
By now, I can read generally well...about as well as the average first-grader XD However, when I actually know the word, I can read it as a whole in Korean (though I really don't have much of a vocabulary...).
Yesterday, my Korean friend was helping me with my pronunciation, specifically on the "ng" sound paired with a vowel.

So the first: Muhnchung-ee. (means stupid lol though how I spelled it is for my phonetic purposes, and is not the correct romanization!)
She said I pronounced it muhnchun-gee, but you have to separate the "ng" and the "ee", which I only got right about 30% of the time? Except when I pronounced it correctly, I couldn't even tell the difference! It was like saying one word over and over in the same way and hearing right or wrong randomly.
(I just substitute this word for the synonym--babo! much easier and more fun to say!)
As always, I'm better at writing (this is every language for me. Is anyone stronger in speaking over writing? I'm curious to know...). Actually it's kind of like a puzzle; some letters go on top of each other, some require a circle, and others go next to each other.

My name: 줄리아 :) (I just realized that I should write Korean characters on my keyboard because they're really hard to find without knowing where they would be.)
Fun!
Well, for some...

Honestly, the accent is really hard because they have a lot of sounds we don't, one of which I've only heard in French. So, unlike Japanese, it is really hard to pick out what they're saying unless I know those words really well.
Said friend is pestering me to watch K-dramas to improve and I want to watch them, it's just...I'm never in the mood for some reason! Some day, 유경, I will get to Coffee Prince!

Maybe I'll talk more about Korean stuff, but I don't know if this was a boring post. :/
Well, for now:
고마워오!
