Raisa's avatar'

Hi! I'm a Brazilian learning American English by myself and trying to get to the advanced level. I'm not used to writing in foreign languages, but read and write in Portuguese are a big part of my life — as a hobby and sometimes work. I'm super curious about other cultures and I hope someday make the time to learn Korean, Japanese and Mandarin. I can also read and listen to content in Spanish.

How I was dragged into Korean culture

I didn't know anything about Korean culture, until recently — December of 2019, to be exact. It was after reading Nothing to Envy: ordinary lives in North Korea, by Barbara Demick, that I fell in love. Ironically
