I am champing at the bit to learn Korean*, but continue to stick to my resolution not to study it until I've finished the novel. In the meantime I continue to absorb an eccentric vocabulary. Onew from SHINee's adorable combination of randomness and clumsiness is jokingly referred to as "Onew Condition" - 상태, "Onew Sangtae". At the Sydney Aquarium yesterday, a display had been switched to Korean, so I had a crack at sounding out some of the the Hangul, and suddenly realised it was telling me the conservation status of the platypus - its 상태. Hee hee hee!


* Also German, French, and (properly) Ancient Egyptian, Sumerian, and Akkadian. Wouldn't mind a crack at Mandarin, Latin, and Classical Greek, and I'd like to at least be able to sound out Hebrew, Russian, and Japanese. The list's got way less insanely ambitious thanks to my meds.
