Learning Korean

Hello! I'm Lilly, an INTJ Ravenclaw living in Serbia. I made this blog to help me learn Korean. I'm far from fluent so in case I make some mistakes, please let me know. I speak Serbian, Hungarian and English and, besides Korean, I am learning German, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin (Jap. & Mand. absolute beginner)  :-)

A German phrase says "The cat does not need a man and lives alone"

[yourhealingjournal]

you can always start again. clean up your socials, make new playlists, donate clothes you no longer wear. try out a new recipe, move to a new city and make new friends, pick up new hobbies you never thought of before. there is no limit to how many times you can press the reset button. it's okay to change and start over. you don't need anyone's permission to do it.
