      Cleverbot is More Intelligent Than I Remember, But That’s Okay

      What I really enjoy about my language learning style is I take a very free-form approach to gathering details and understanding concepts. It’s not that I don’t want to put effort in–I absolutely do.

      Strengthening Your Skillset in Time for Accomplishing Goals

      Ah, a new year, new goals. I wonder, do you have a resolution in place for yourselves regarding this turning of the clock? It’s been well-documented that a lot of people aim to do better, but never actually get to a point where they’re happy with what they’ve done. Luckily, I don’t set goals. But…

    • Language is a Tool, But It Does More Than Just Your Average Wrench

      Language is a Tool, But It Does More Than Just Your Average Wrench

      They say all it takes is a little confidence to make a name for yourself in a new language. Forget the hours spent practicing, if you don’t jump on an opportunity to speak and interact with the people of your target culture(s), all can go for naught at the drop of a hat.

    • On Being Humble and Dusting Off Old Realities

      I grew up in a house where literacy and literature were highly valued. Intellectualism for its own sake was not, however.

    • Seeing the World Through Another’s Eyes

      All bloggers start out with day jobs, unless they’re perennial introverts who won’t leave their parents’ basements. And no dig at Jung’s favorite home-bound, reflective, quiet types. I can easily count myself among them with how I get overwhelmed by people. Or maybe, that’s just an excuse for laziness I can’t shake.

      Growing Pains: Beginner Struggles

      Like many beginning monolingual Spanish students in the United States, I was overwhelmed at first by the sheer amount of conjugations and vocabulary we had to memorize in order to pass an ever-increasing number of quizzes during the semester. I didn’t think I could hold a conversation, let alone ever get rated B2 by my…

      Analysis Paralysis: A Book Is A Book, Or Is It?

      I loved to read as a child. My imagination was average; however, I managed to enjoy books for children my age and get inspired by them for when time came to play. Despite that, for the longest time, I didn’t think about literary symbols. I didn’t worry about the significance of themes. Jokes with any…

You may already be rolling your eyes because of the association many people have nowadays with the popular culture of South Korea. Maybe you’re thinking of the geography and politics of…
