It sounds interesting. I've checked it out and they have an alphabet!
Besides, it's not that difficult as I imagined, that's really funny.

Yeah, I wonder why people make such a big deal out of it. It's a rather efficient alphabet in a sense that there
aren't too many irregularities like in English. The alphabet is mostly phonetic.

I actually learned more about S-Korea through Hapkido. I'm baffled why I didn't mention that
sooner. When I'm older I'm going to start Hapkido, I like it.
The language too, piqued my interest. But first German and French!

Why learn Hapkido when you're older when you can learn it when you have enough time and resources to spare?
Anyway I hope you progress on French and German. II hope you can handle two languages at the same time.

You're very thoughtful but I think it's going to take more than prayer to fix their problem. Those people have
been under heavy control for a long time.

I wish I could start with Hapkido tomorrow, but there's no school close to me.
Therefore I'll have to wait, because I simply can't drive 200km to the nearest school.
I know it's going to take more than a prayer, I've seen a lot of documentaries about the country. It's simply the least I could do, because I don't have the resources to pull an entire country out of it's misery.

Their alphabet is really efficient, but I think the reason it still scares people off, is the fact that it looks just like Chinese.
Though both languages have a lot of regular systems, they don't look easy and first impressions often are a deciding factor.

Can I ask one completely unrelated question?
Why do you and some other people have a sign telling us to ''call you''.
I don't understand, I mean, I don't mind, but it looks curious.
