Slowly, Harin.
A millennial mum learning Korean one word at a time.
Why Harin?
I first learnt words like 안녕 and 사랑해 during the second-generation K-pop.
Years later, I found myself wanting to understand the language more deeply.
Not because I needed to.
But because learning something new in my 30s reminded me that growth doesn’t have an expiry date.
My Korean Journey
From my first Hangul character to future TOPIK goals, this is where I document the journey.
Hangul Learning
Learning Korean started with Hangul. This section documents my progress, study notes, vocabulary lists, and small milestones along the way.
Korean Through Music & Drama
Some words came from second-generation K-pop. Others came from dramas and everyday exposure. This is where language and culture meet.
Korea & Travel Dreams
From Seoul memories to future travel plans, this section captures the places, experiences, and language moments that inspire me to keep learning.
Learning As An Adult
Learning something new in my 30s reminded me that growth doesn’t have an expiry date. This section contains reflections on consistency, progress, and starting from zero again.
“조금씩.”
Slowly.
One word.
One sentence.
One conversation at a time.
