Last Korean class

" 안녕하세요 부터 안녕 히 가세요 까지 이 여행이 너무 예쁘고 재미있었어요"

From learning how to say hello in Korean to our last class today it had been a beautiful journey for all of us. I still remember (and I think will always do)  how the first week of Korean class was so scary for me. I used to feel like crying sitting in the class because there wasn't a word of it that I could possibly understand. I thought I would never be able to learn it.

But our teacher never gave up on us and we began to learn things gradually. In the first week we began by learning the Korean alphabets, then words and   sentences. 

My name is a bit long and sounds a bit weird in Korean. So, during the first couple of weeks, one of my teachers shortened my name to "나비" i.e. Nabi which means Butterfly in Korean. Now actually a few people call me Nabi here. I actually think its sweet (because of its meaning) and I like it. Coincidentally, even some of the things I bought or got here had pictures of butterfly on it.

I  still remember when each of us made a small video of self introduction. I think there were just three lines that we spoke but I still remember being proud of it and laughing at ourselves at the same time. I even went ahead with sharing it with my family and friends and even some of my professors. I guess that was one of the first steps that motivated me that I could do it.

As the days went by, those strange words began to make sense and it became the one class we guyz enjoyed the most. From eating to sleeping, homeworks to tests, singing to playing and videos to outings there is nothing that I haven't done in this class in the last ten weeks.

I might not know even the proper basics of Korean but for someone who knew nothing when she came, knowing atleast this much is definitely a big deal. Thank you so much Sir for encouraging me and emphasizing on my learning the Korean language. I am so glad that I took this class and learnt Korean.

Tomorrow I have my final exam for Korean class and yes I am scared. It feels like all I have learnt in the last ten weeks is being put to test tomorrow. So, now I am just gonna rest it here and go back to my room and study. I just hope it goes well.
