Hi, I'm American but must have been Korean in my previous life (preferably hot kpop chick). I have been trying to learn Korean for years. Its very easy to learn to read it and lots of fun. I have watched hours and hours of kdramas and am actually going to see a Kpop group in Miami this month, Block B!
I suggest you drown yourself in Kdramas and Kpop as well. The honorifics are really interesting....
