The shuffle function on my mp3 player was making me feel international, yesterday, during my bus ride. I heard Korean (임형주), English (Depeche Mode), Portuguese (Elis Regina), Japanese (LAST ALLIANCE), Spanish (Silvio Rodriguez), Senegalese (Youssou N'Dour) and French (Yelle), all in succession. I guess that's cool.
I wonder if I will learn Korean better, or more quickly, if I only eat Korean food? I wish language truly functioned as a disease, as William Burroughs once suggested. I could just get infected, and I would be able to speak it.
