I love languages!

I always have. I love words and am always looking for a new word to add to my vocabulary.
My first love was French, and all I could think of since I was 15. I languished for many years because I couldn't go to Paris. Then along the way I learned a little Spanish, then I worked for an Albanian couple and leaned Squip in about six weeks. (Only enough to exchange pleasantries, and then I quit on it.) I dabbled with Portuguese and Hebrew, Latin, and Mandarin then because of kdramas, I fell in love again, with Korean and have been diligently and formally studying for about a year. I have no one to talk to however, and that has been a problem. I get my daily practice listening by watching numerous Korean dramas.

I'm an American Halmoni who is intrigued by all things Korean. I got hooked on Kdrama in Feb of 2008 when I came across Here comes Ajumma on KBC with English Subs. Since that time, I've watched over 100 series I've watched several series more than once. Some up to 5 times, or a favorite episode 10 times. I've also watched about 50 movies. I have developed a mental checklist of things that make it truly a kdrama. (e.g. Amnesia, mistaken identity, a broken heel, a face slap etc.)
My favorite drama is usually the one I'm currently watching.
Right now that would be Queen Insoo, The Client (Movie), History of a Salaryman, Soldier,Syndrome, The Six Martyred Ministers, , Love Rain, and an oldie Did We Really Love?
As a result of the kdramas, I've developed an interest in Korean food, and have been making my own kimchi regularly. I make Pa jun, bulgogi, kimchi jjigae dukkbokki, and braised burdock root, I need to learn more side dishes. Because of QoR I want to try to make Dwenjang Jjigae. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'm taking Pimsleur Korean and I notice I'm understanding more and more Korean.
I also watch Japanese and Taiwanese dramas, although less consistently.
I enjoy tweaking subs so that they are acceptable grammar and comfortable English. I have done some translating to French but mostly I'm an editor. I was official editor for the first time for Prosecutor Princess and PS Man. Now, I'm Channel Manager for the So Ji Sub Artist channel and can always use some help there.
I'm also Eng Mod and Channel Watcher for Protect the Boss
