Struggling learning my family’s language
Our take
I’m Korean and in college. My family is Korean but we never really spoke it much around the house growing up. Despite both my parents being immigrants and fluent in Korean, me and my siblings are pretty “Americanized” but it’s not as if we know nothing about Korean culture. I love learning languages and usually there are things that draw me to and motivate me to learn that language. Whether it be media, music, food, or simply finding the language itself interesting. For some reason Korean is the language I am struggling to sit down and take time to learn. I feel like if I wasn’t Korean, I wouldn’t even consider learning it at all. I wanted to ask if anyone else has felt like this, where you’ve began learning other languages, but found your family’s language to be something you don’t take to well or struggle finding a connection for. I’m also wondering if you could offer any advice for this particular struggle.
