Hey sam.

I moved to NZ when I was 2. This was a time when there were hardly any South Koreans, yet any Asians around.

My Korean is not good. Trying to speak it with other South Koreans is just awkward. I can speak it with my parents, though it's not fully Korean... a mixture of English and Korean.

There were South Korean videos around when i got older, though I was unable to get them. Hence grew up without any of that.


I don't understand how being an immigrant can be shameful - maybe this is an
American thing... "immigrant shame".
In my opinion, not learning a local language is not shameful, but when you cannot integrate in society, one reason probably due to a language barrier, I think THAT is a shame, and just sad
