The past few weeks I’ve hinted, well if you count flat out stating what it is, at what my next language is going to be. Yes, I know, I still haven’t completed my HSK Exam and am not yet even conversational in Russian. But when a language calls to you, a language calls to you. So, not-so-surprise! I’m going to learn Korean! Why? Well, mostly...

Over the past few years I’ve collected quite a few fond memories of time spent in the cuisine with friends and family, stirring crêpe batter over friendly banter.
