I’m currently studying Mandarin and plan to live in China for roughly two years. After that I’m considering spending some time in South Korea and studying Korean. I was originally thinking I’d start learning in China shortly before I’m ready to go to So. Korea. I know a lot of people think it’s a bad idea to study two languages at the same time. However, I’ve read other people have had success with two languages at once, so I figure it can’t hurt to try. If it doesn’t work out, I can just put off Korean until I’m more comfortable with Mandarin. So I think I’ll start this fall studying on my own. I’ll probably start off light to keep my main focus on Mandarin, which I’m taking formal classes in. I have actually already learned some Hangul, because it was pretty easy. I think one of my friends is a native speaker, so maybe she can help me with it.
