Hello all! I finally decided to make a blog since my first attempt at using LJ as one failed miserably. Oops! So here I am!
My name is Alisha, I'm an American living in Utah. I'm 21 and feel so far behind I might as well be 30. I am actively studying Korean, I have studied Spanish in the past and use it at work frequently. I am working on my bachelor's of English so I can teach English as a foreign language in other countries. My current goal is to obtain my Associates at Salt Lake Community College before moving on up to the University of Utah to finish my degree and to get into the student exchange program.
This blog is dedicated to my study of language. I have had a life long love affair with language, there was a trial separation after all my friends and family tried convincing me we weren't right for each other and that language would be a dead beat and wouldn't be able to support children...but we are back together now, and nothing can ever come between us again!
I owe a GREAT debt to the many Korean international students I work with who have helped me get back in touch with my long lost love and give me hope that my future with language may very well be a bright one. 김 지해, 김 륜태, 김 현태, 이 은경, 김 지영, 정말 감사합니다! and most of all I have to thank Raphel for taking time out of studying for an important final in advanced physiology to teach me about Korea, from a Korean's perspective while somehow managing to be fairly unbiased. I wouldn't have regained my lust for language without his always patient help. Thank you Raphel, and I hope we can meet again someday and you will have achieved your dream of becoming a doctor. I would be honored to have you as my family doctor.
Anyway as it should have been obvious by now I am focusing my studies on 한국어 and have been studying since 06/20/08 although I have yet to take a single class. I also used to study Espanol, but had given it up and need to re-learn much of it. I hope to finish my studies in both Spanish and Korean and to hopefully move on to Japanese with the help of my brother who is currently studying it.
If I can die being fluent in Korean, Spanish and Japanese I'll die with a bright, huge smile on my face.
Anyway, I'll be posting here my progress, thoughts and pretty much anything that has to do with some language here. Hopefully within the next 3 years I'll have successfully attained my Associates of English and will be eligible for the Student exchange program for South Korea. I want very much to attend school there to be truly immersed in the language and culture.
Wish me luck, but more importantly focus!
