I'm learning Korean so I'm most definitely interested in this! Sadly, my intonation is absolutely awful and I tend to struggle much more with Korean than with Japanese...kanji included and all.

I find Korean so much harder than Japanese that it's not even funny and ironically enough I started with Korean first when I was around 14. But I put it on hold for the longest of times and only resumed it last year. I was never fluent in it and had forgotten virtually everything apart from how to read and write hangul.

I too am very, very lax with my Korean studies to the point that apart from reviewing actual class material for tests I do no actual studying. Unless you count the many Korean movies I watch but sadly those seem to have imparted very little knowledge.

As of late I've started following a few drama series on KBS world but unfortunately I dislike romance so my choices as a bit limited. I stick to historical series and the occasional criminal investigation ones.

I like both languages equally but those Korean combined vowels and doubled consonants really do a number on me. It does not help that when reading Korean I have a hard time figuring out where each word begins and end so that my reading skills are both slow and painfully awkward.
It's even a tad embarrassing how awful I am at it.

Welcome back, wink! Good to see you again! I'll have to check out your blog.
