    안녕 from South Korea :)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm currently studying abroad in South Korea (came here in August 2013 and will be leaving some time in July), which turned my "regular" relationship into a LDR. With my SO not being a big talker, I was really scared about how this would turn out, but it's going surprisingly well. But we still miss each other like mad. We talk a lot but it's getting more and more difficult just not being able to touch him, so I thought it might help me to exchange experiences with people who are going through a similar thing. Aaaand here I am

    Welcome
    It is rough being away from the one you love. All of us here understand that. But distance does make the heart grow fonder.

              Welcome to the forum. I love your name. I'm into penguins. Do you care to share something about your name? If not, that's okay.

                  Thanks everyone I love this forum by the way, so much insight and everyone is really nice (as far a s I can tell )

                  Haha yeah the penguins. There actually is kind of a story behind this. I love penguins too nd one day I was discussing with my SO how they would be even MORE amazing if they had pouches. I mean, think about it Yeah and so I started to use something as a nickname online that is loosely translated to "bagpenguin" because in Germany we basically call animals with puches "pouch-whatever animal it is" but there is no specific word for pouch, it's just the same a s the word for bag and it's used a lot more often in the bag context. But "bagpenguin" doesn't really work in English and I didn't want to use the German one, so I had to change it a bit.
                  Does that make sense? A little difficult to explain

                        Yes, it makes perfect sense. Thank you for sharing such an interesting story. I had to smile at the danke you used, too, because my daughter loves anything to do with Germany. She tried studying German online, but she needed a teacher. She learned a few words, so I did, too. We still use danke and Guten Morgen! German is a lovely language. Without the teacher, she switched to Spanish. I think she will always have a soft spot for German, though.

                          Yeah I find studying languages online very difficult, I have tried that a couple of times myself..
                          And the people being interested in German is something that always baffles me I mean I love languages, and it is a language so yay, but if I weren't German, it probably wouldn't be one of the languages I'd pick Also, people tell me it sounds harsh? Does it? I don't get that

                            We don't think it sounds harsh. To my daughter and me, it sounds rhythmic.

                              Rhythmic? That's interesting It's fascinationg how differently people who don't speak a language hear it compared to those who do. For Example, I sometimes feel like Korean sounds like French, that's really weird
