Live In, Learn Life

 


Live In, Learn Life: Embracing New Experiences

Life is full of lessons, but some of the most valuable ones come when we live in different environments and embrace new experiences. To learn life, you don’t need to rely solely on books or formal education; sometimes, the most important lessons are learned through the experiences we face in our daily lives.

For instance, when you live in a different city or country, you're not just adjusting to a new place—you're also learning life in a whole new way. From understanding new cultures to discovering new ways of thinking, each moment offers an opportunity for growth.

Living in an unfamiliar place teaches you resilience, adaptability, and empathy. You learn life by understanding how different people approach problems, solve challenges, and find joy in their own unique way.

Whether you’re navigating a busy market in Kathmandu or making new friends in a different country, the lessons you learn while living in these environments shape who you become. So, embrace the unknown, step out of your comfort zone, and allow life to teach you its most important lessons.

A Beginner's Journey to Learning Korean

 



A Beginner's Journey to Learning Korean

Learning a new language is like opening a door to a whole new world—and for me, that door was Korean. As a beginner, the journey has been exciting, challenging, and incredibly rewarding.

It all started with my love for Korean dramas and K-pop. I wanted to understand the lyrics, follow the conversations without subtitles, and feel more connected to the culture. That curiosity soon turned into a passion for learning the language.

At first, Hangul—the Korean alphabet—seemed confusing, but I was surprised at how easy it is to learn compared to other writing systems. With just 24 letters, I was able to start reading simple words within a week.

Vocabulary and grammar were a bit tougher. Korean sentence structure is very different from English or Nepali, so it took some time to get used to it. I started using language apps, watching YouTube lessons, and even writing small diary entries in Korean. One helpful trick was labeling things in my room with their Korean names, like 책 (chaek) for "book" and 문 (mun) for "door."

Speaking was the scariest part. I felt nervous about making mistakes, but I reminded myself that it's okay to be wrong—that’s how we learn! Talking with native speakers online or using language exchange apps gave me more confidence.

The journey is still ongoing, but every new word I learn brings me one step closer to understanding the culture and people I admire. If you're thinking about learning Korean, go for it. Start small, stay consistent, and most of all—have fun!
