Yesterday I became a Korean-language student

I got interested in Korean kind of backwards. I have no previous experience other than being able to imitate Japanese with a Korean accent, as I'm bilingual in Japanese. When I was younger I would sometimes mistake Korean for Japanese until I realized I didn't recognize any words or morphemes. That is the first reason I got interested in Korean. Many years later I was an exchange student in Japan. I was surprised by students from South Korea because they were so good in Japanese. Many of them sound native in every aspect (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation). I've also come across some Korean popular culture in TV dramas, comics and music. Since I first saw Korean script I thought it was beautiful and wanted to learn how to write it. So yesterday I became a Korean-language student.
