Next : Korea?!

Kuasailah bangsa dengan bahasa. Saya lupa mendapatkan kata-kata ini darimana, yang pasti pengaruhnya kuat hingga sekarang. Apalagi saya percaya bahwa kemampuan berbahasa adalah salah satu indikator kecerdasan. Kecerdasan akademis dan emosi. Maka saya tak ingin bahasa yang keluar dari diri saya adalah bahasa sok pintar yang sulit dipahami. Menulis menjadikan latihan penting. Bagaimana menyampaikan gagasan tanpa perlu tercipta salah paham. Bagaimana menyampaikan tautan di otak agar pembacanya bisa menangkap dari tulisan.

Bahasa tulisan memberikan kesan. Kesan tentang seseorang meskipun belum pernah bertukar pikiran secara lisan. Saya termasuk orang yang tertarik untuk belajar bahasa baru, apalagi yang intensif dan gratis. Maka saya memasukkan agenda belajar bahasa Korea supaya bisa mengerti Kim Yuna ngomong apa. Yahaha... Motivasinya gak bisa ditulis buat personal statement neeh. Eniwei, gara-gara dapet informasi seperti berikut, saya jadi mikir motivasi dan alasan apa yah buat belajar bahasa Korea. Ternyata saya tidak tahu banyak tentang negeri ginseng ini selain kimchi, taekwondo, kungfu Komang, Yon-sama, dan atlet-atlet olahraga yang saya kenal tahu.

Ada gak yah info buat bahasa Arab, German, Perancis, Spanyol, Italia yang gratisan juga? Pengennn.... takut keburu tua. +_+ Intensif gratis 3 bulan saya mau!! Ehehehe (semua juga mau!!)
