What Can You Find Here?

You can click on the category titles to see the posts under the category:

Korean Through Hanja 한자어 정선: Each blog post will have some Sino-Korean words with a common Chinese character. If I were to learn 5 new Sino-Korean Words a day, that means I can learn more than 1800 words a year.
All entries will use Traditional Chinese, the standard used in Korea. Take note that there will be differences with Japanese Kanji and obviously Simplified Chinese.

Canto Mando Menu 菜單指南 I love Chinese food, and eventually I would like to learn how to read a Chinese menu entirely and be able to order in Mandarin and Cantonese. Blog posts will be in English and Japanese.

Yoji-Time 四字熟語: Learn how to use some common 4-character Japanese idiomatic expressions.

Kotowaza Corner ことわざ・コーナー Learn how to use some common Japanese idiomatic expressions.

Update on Korean Learning

What started out as an attempt to impress a high school crush has turned out to be an on and off obsession. After high school, I eventually lost interest in this person, but my love for her language and culture actually increased day by day. Unfortunately, learning the language of Korea is not as easy as learning the language of it's neighbours China and Japan. By that I mean there aren't quite as many resources for learning Korean (at least in Australia) as there are for learning Japanese and Chinese. I really hope that I can live in Korea at least for 2 months so I can get to the point where I can at least hold a decent conversation. Right now, I can travel around Korea OK. I guess I just need to have more vocabulary. Anyway for now it's time to re-subscribe to KoreanClass101.com. Meeting some fantastic people last Saturday reminded me of just how much I love the Korean language and how I want to experience life there even just for a bit.
