Opportunity of the studying abroad, purpose

I have been interested in Korean culture since I was a junior high school student. After I entered university, I took Korean language classes. Through the classes, I became to want to learn in Korea. I took part in the short program in Korea last summer vacation. I saw the active attitude of Korean students and it lead me to apply for the exchange program.

Experience while studying abroad

6 months have passed since I came to Korea. I take the Korean language class 4 hours a day on weekday. When I took the level Ⅲ Korean language class at first, it was so hard for me to communicate with classmates and teachers in Korean. But, I studied Korean hard in this six months so that I can enjoy talking with many friends from other countries now.
It is interesting for me to talk about Korean culture and its way of thinking with classmates and friend.
I am scheduled to take the test of Korean language proficiency in October and November in order to improve my Korean.
I will do my best.

Results of study abroad, future goals

My study abroad is coming to the end. When I came to Korea in February, I was nervous even ordering a drink in store, but now I enjoy conversation with my friends in Korean. I could make friends from different countries in Korean classes. I grew up as not only the language study but also a person. When a problem occurred, I had to solve it oneself while I feel unease.
But, these experiences have made me grow. I had a great time l thanks to friends. I want to continue studying try not to forget Korean that learned here.
