Here, in school, we consider English as the easiest subject and also sometimes, attend the exam without even studying for it😂😂😅😅😁

Honestly most people learn English because of the business, money, experience, or to build a better future for themselves and their families.

Parents Pressurizing there children's is a common thing in ASIA😂

In India we are taught english since the first day of our kindergarten and it is a compulsory subject throughout our 14 years of school. And so we do not need to join any academy to learn it. It is not just about obsession but easy communication on global perspective. But no one should feel ashamed about not being able to learn it because it is just a language.

Me: Learning Korean is hard because I'm 52yo and its not so easy to pick up a new language at this age😂

I'm learning because my daughter and her friend introduced me to BTS in 2018 and I've been actively trying for about 6 months. I haven't been as consistent as I need to be, but I'm having fun!

Tbh i also want to know how to speak korean😅 But it's so HARD😭

[LaLeLu]

Interesting development. I also meet Koreans in Germany who learn German (and they learn it impressively fast).
It is so great to learn other languages (and I love Korean). 💜

[joanbell]

I speak English and me speaking Korean is fing hard then their was BTS thank god I'm leaning a tiny bit of Korean 😂😂😂💜💜❤

[harisankar]

English is actually one of the easiest subject to read and write....but when it comes to speaking we slightly suffer😂

Koreans learning English
Me speaks English and learning Korean learning Korean is so heard but BTS are learning English for us so I'm learning Korean for them Fighting!!

I mean it’s good to learn English, not just to go to America, if you go anywhere in the world someone will know English wherever you go. Even if English isn’t their national language. Look at Holland for example, their language is Dutch, but everyone there speaks English too. It’s the business language of the world, and if you want to work in Aviation you have to know English. I think it’s smart to know English, Spanish and Chinese.

아이 엠 러닝 코리안 랭귀지. ^ ^ 영어보다 한국어 더 어려운 것 같아요. 하지만 한국말 그렇게 좋아하니까 언젠가 잘 이해하도록 계속 배울 거예요. 또한 쉽고 재미있게 가르쳐 주는 제 선생님 덕분에 포기 안 할 거예요. 제 선생님은 큰 체널 운영하고 이 체널에서도 일해요. 누군지 알아요? 당연히 한국언니예요. 한국언니 짱이에요!
열심히 별로 하지 않으면 혹은 바쁘면 시간이 더 많이 걸릴 거예요. 하루마다 한 시간이나 두 시간 동안 공부하면 더 빨리 다 배울 수 있어요. 전 천천히 해요. Enjoying the process. 파이팅!

No one can deny they love SKorea more because of BTS and thanks to this boyband!
