 Re: When to say 'no'.
I understand your feelings LiK about potential kids you may have learning Korean rather than English. That is why I am working ever so hard to learn the Korean language. I spend almost everyday for about two hours studying and spend the rest of the day thinking about Korea and how to construct sentences. It is more habit now than what it used to be.
Anyhow, my son, who is both Korean and English, has had no trouble being excepted in society. He has started Kindgarten and is the most popular kid in school. Any strangers that see my son are naturally curious as well. Ofcourse, there are those members of society that just are racist in Korea and I do sense that when I am with my son.
Personally, I would rather stay in Korea about ten to fifteen years till I feel bilingual in Korean and English. Perhaps return to the UK for short periods and work as a translator or a business consultant for the far east. But this is just an idea. |
