As a grammar nerd myself, I loved learning Korean grammar. It felt like a puzzle... as I learned new "pieces", I could understand more and more of what I was hearing in TV shows, and like you mentioned -- that's such a good feeling! Best of luck continuing on your journey!

[@BecomingaPolyglot]

Then you totally get what I mean indeed!! It’s really fulfilling as well, idk how to explain it. Makes me happy every time that I am able to read something new! Oh and by all means, I never implied being a grammar nerd as something negative (maybe it came across that way). I reaaaaaly envy you for being able to understand such complicated grammar so easily! Amazing! Keep it up ☺️

[@SomedayKorean]

@@BecomingaPolyglot Yeah, I didn't interpret what you were saying as a negative comment towards people who don't like grammar - just that you aren't a person who usually loves grammar. :) Also, I don't think it was necessarily easier for me, but because I had fun doing grammar stuff, I ended up pouring a lot of time into it, so I ended up picking it up easier haha.

I would love to see a video of your study schedule! How you fit all of your languages in 😅

[@BecomingaPolyglot]

Hahaha it is more empty than you think 🫣😄 but I can definitely make a video on casually learning languages between your day to day job or studies!

[@user-rq2hg4to9b]

I don’t learn korean, but in fact, your videos are charming. Quite good practice for my English. I do love polyglots and I also try to learn some languages simultaneously, so you’re an inspiration for me

[@BecomingaPolyglot]

Wow that’s an amazing compliment! Thank you so incredible much. That means a lot to me. Good luck on your languages! Curious to hear how that goes ☺️
