It's been about six months here and I'm learning how to read Hangul, their alphabet. Almost all the signs are also in English, and nearly everyone wears shirts with English on them. The first time I went into E-mart, their equivalent of Walmart, it felt really weird to see so much English, like they had it all just for me. I haven't seen a foreigner outside of my family in that store in the whole time I've been here.

I only know hello, yes, no, and thank you basically. Every word is extremely phoenitic, which is why you'll notice a lot of words are really long. The proper form of "hello" is 5 syllables.
