    I love how open-minded to translated books from other countries he is. It‘s always exciting to watch him talk about books that I read in my native language. I love Kyung Sook Sin very much too. She has the power to lead her story.

    I'm always looking for more Korean authors to read! I'm moving to South Korea in less than a month (omg) and am hoping to one day be able to reread the original non translated versions from all the authors I've read. Currently slogging my way through a middle grade fiction book one chapter at a time but I'm getting there.

    • @chelsey8737

      @terenlarge Před rokem

      @@chelsey8737 I've been learning for about 2ish yrs and it's def not easy but it's also not as hard as you maybe think? I started w picture books, then moved on to books that had English or Korean translations and read both simultaneously, now I can mostly muddle my way through and nothing is as rewarding as reading a full paragraph w/out consulting a dictionary.
      I'd really recommend using programs like LWT (learning with text, has built in vocab tests but awkward to install) or FLTR (foreign language text reader, easier to install but not as good) to anyone who wants to try it. Best of luck w yr language learning journey!

      Also mat I ask you how/why you're moving to Korea? I'm only 15 now but I want to live in Korea sometime in the future (I'm half Korean so I feel like it'd be nice to explore my culture more than just 2 weeks per year)
