Hello ☺

Welcome to Mira + Korea 

I'm Meera or 미라 in Korean 

I have always been fascinated with cultures, wanting to learn all about the world and daydreaming about travelling and absorbing it all. 

One day I discovered a Korean drama, which was the beginning of my interest in Asia. One thing led to another and I picked up the Korean Language as a hobby, because of that I studied Korean culture as well. The more I learned, the more enamored I became.

I have learnt so much about Korea that recently a Korean friend said she felt like I knew more than her. I was flattered of course but I knew it couldn't be so. 

Languages have always been of interest to me, I have learnt Arabic, French, Spanish and German but I never stuck to one for long, i.e before Korean. 

I'd like to think I'm at a basic intermediate level right now, but that is up for debate!

 I love exploring  and learning all that I can about Asia. And I find that when learning a Language, knowing the culture can improve your understanding of it. So studying Korean means I learn about the culture as well. I have never ( Finally visited Korea, read all about it here) been to Korea but I hope to travel there very soon. 

I've had the opportunity to experience different facets of these cultures thanks to living in a multicultural society. I shall use this blog to share with you guys all that I have learned and will learn. 

One of the exciting things that did happen was, I was chosen to be part of the Worldwide Korea Bloggers Program, where I share all my experiences related to Korea published on the Korean Government's Multilingual Blog.

On this blog you will find everything from 

• Language learning resources (I'm currently Self-studying Korean), 
• Adventures, 
• Food reviews and recipes, 
• Cultural tid bits,
• Drama Musings
