Of course the problem with learning it instead from being immersed in speaking and hearing it, is being immersed in making all those odd mistakes... Interesting blog I came across last week is called "Ask a Korean". I haven't yet pulled together an actual question to pose there, as vague nebulous stuff looks pretty silly when diced and sliced with that kind of wit. Back to the point, he had a post talking about the problems with current models of acquiring a new language as an adult, and how by brute force memorizing/hard work he became proficient in English at a college level in two years from pretty much nuthin'. http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2010/01/koreans-english-acquisition-and-best.html
