My learning goals

I would like to be able to chat with someone in Korean eventually. I'm still a beginner and know very little about the language.

My favorite topics

I enjoy learning about Korean culture and food, however, I'm vegan so I substitute animal products for vegan versions. I also like reading classical literature and doing yoga. Hiking is also one of my hobbies.
