Do you want to learn another language?
Because I do, and the language I chose to study is Hangul. You might be thinking the reason I decided to learn it is because I love K-dramas. And you’re right—but of course, I also have other reasons for wanting to study it.
First, I genuinely want to learn another language, and I believe this one could be useful to me.
This language has market value here in the Philippines. If I can learn it, it could become a potential source of income in the future.
I could teach it, create study guides, subtitle movies, become an interpreter, and many more.
So why Hangul? Why not French, Arabic, or Chinese?
Well, I think Hangul is relatively easy to learn and easier to earn from if I manage to learn it in the future. Honestly, my top choices were Nihongo (Japanese) and Hangul, but I decided to start with Hangul first.
I’m not even sure if I won’t get lazy or if I’ll actually succeed in learning it.
I can read Hangul a bit faster now, but I still can’t construct sentences. I only know a few phrases.
The other day, I was thinking of ways to teach myself Hangul, and I came up with the idea of making a study practice video.
The first one I made was kind of wrong because I didn’t start from the first step of how I should actually begin learning.
, but since I had already started it, I decided to finish it anyway. For the next videos, I’ll make something more suitable for beginners.
I realized I need to learn like how a child learns to speak—so I’ll begin with character familiarization and create a study practice video for that too.
Right now, I only have one video. But this single video will be the start of a new way of learning for me.
