I love proverbs, because even though they are short, but sharp. The proverb "Know language, know the World" is my favorite one. In order to understand it , I had and still having a real experience based on that. I couldn't even imagine how helpful it can be until I started learning Korean, one of the most beautiful languages. I started feeling the immediate positive effect after learning Korean day by day. I made so many friends, started learning from them about Korean culture, traditions, lifestyle, everything!
In 4 years of learning Korean I made so many close friends, joined the computer club "SPARCS" being proud to be the only foreigner accepted so far .I'm sure language skills played a big role on it. By learning language you will feel more comfortable living in Korea, Koreans will feel closer while talking in their own language (there won't be a barrier among you). Imagine when some foreigner start learning your own language, you mother's tongue, I'm sure you will feel surprised and happy about that. That's why I always suggest to my friends, especually newcomers the first thing to do in Korea is to start learning Korean. So, if you are going to visit any other country, try to learn their language, because "Zabon doni, Jahon Doni"! :)
