Learning Korean just because someone likes kpop - the dumbest thing ever?

[bullshitlarry2.0]

I give them max 2 years and they will forget about keypop, it's always like this.

[monochrome.]

Not really... if they really want to learn the language, then I don't see why not..

[strawberry bitch]

Rinon says a Korean word in "beautiful journey", so I decided to learn Korean

[Midnight]

Atleast they're trying to learn something. Hbu?

[myreflections]

no.

actually, wanting and showing interest in a foreign language is most times sucessful if it happens by own interest as to being shoved down your throat in school

 

so people who get interested in a foreign language even because of a car, if you wish, i hope they all succeed because it is wonderful to learn a new language as it comes together with it's culture.

 

wise.

 

 

p.s this is my second time seeing someone writing keypop. lol

It's good to know more than one lang. I don't see that as a dumbest thing...

[Tom Hanks]

Learning something new is dumb? Nice logic.

How about me? I am a teacher.

[Nowhere Boy]

I don't see why not. I love K-Pop and would really like to learn Korean some day.

[Midna]

i learned how to read hangul when I was interested in Kpop lmao

[sane]

It's better than learning a random language you have no interest in because you need the high school/college credits 

[I Killed Your Neopet]

meh nothin dumb about learning a language, i just hope they dont act like koreaboos because that shtis embarrassing. like, take it seriously. 

[Teru]

if you wanna learn a language for whatever obscure or strange reason, go ahead. why should the reason matter? it's your personal choice and it doesn't matter what other people think

 

so long as you're polite and respectful about it - as in you don't drop Korean words into your English sentences for no reason other than to show off or try to "act Korean" or otherwise show your ignorance by invoking stereotypes about an entire nation of people - then there's no issue

 

it's more about your attitude towards it than your reasons for it, imo. same for languages in general

[pimo]

i learned how to read hangul when I was interested in Kpop lmao

lmao who hasnt 

 

Also I think learning languages is great, you can speak to twice as many people

[Jiyu]

Not if you regularly consume korean media. And you can make many new friends, I've made a few good korean friends who are helping me learn through apps and whatnot
