For Non-Koreans who only learned the language from watching Kdramas, how much have you progressed?
Before Kdrama, I only know "Annyeonghaseyo" and "Kamsahamnida"
Right now, apart from the words on the attached photo, I think I can now understand 10% if I watch Kdrama without subtitle.
And, when I go to Korea, I can now engage in a friendly tourist conversation without relying on translator app. Like I would now know if they are introducing themselves and that if they being polite or if they are cursing me.
If they state their profession, at least I would know if they are a doctor, a detective, police, judge, etc. and of course I would know if they mention gangster and con artist.
When I get hungry, at least I now know how to order some food without having the need for menu photos.
I am still learning and I wish someday I can watch Kdramas without subtitles :)
