네가 좋아하는 한가지 일을 하기위해서는 네가 하기 싫어하는 열가지 일을 먼저 해야한다.
In order to do what you like to do, you have to do ten things that you hate first.
Just because you don’t want to do it doesn’t mean you can avoid doing it – and avoiding doing it might mean you can’t do what you truly want to do. This goes for language study and life in general ㅋㅋ

Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.

If you want to be good at something, you’re going to have to work for it. It wouldn’t be worth it if just anyone could do it easily. Get on that language learning, now!

안녕하세요!
I’ve been spending a lot of time watching endless clips of 나는 가수다 (Naneun Kasu-da. trans: “I am a Singer”) and Immortal Song 2 on YouTube.

You’re probably not surprised that this is what I’m listening to…the whole album is fantastic! Hey, did you know Seungri can speak Japanese? Yeah. In the midst of his busy schedule, he learned a language. And perhaps he needs some work on his English, but at least he’s working on it! You should get back to studying Korean now.
