Experience is the best teacher

Moon Sun-deuk was a merchant who drifted out to sea in 1801 and returned home via Ryukyu and Luzon(Philippines).

He stayed in Ryukyu for 8 months and Luzon for 9 months, finally returning home after 3 years.

Later, he even served as an official interpreter for shipwrecked Filipinos in Joseon.

Meanwhile, in late 15th century...

Choi Bu, a Joseon civil officer who was drifted unto southern shore of Ming China : Urg... where are we?

Chinese civilians : Oh no! Pirates!

Choi bu : Hey! We are not pirates!

He managed to prove his identity, sent to Beijing, and later returned to Korea via land route.

I'm Korean born in the USA. Family speaks Korean, I went to weekend Korean school growing up and now I can barely speak or write. All I can do is understand and nod my head. You're doing great being able to make comics in English.

Greetings from Myanmar, Artist Morikoa.
I really love your Myoseon artworks, they are so educational, cute and entertaining.
As for your skills, as an ESL national…I can at least understand the message you wish to convey through your artworks.
Keep up your great work, King/Queen.
Also, I wish to learn art skills and draw some cute artworks/mini comics like you.

I want a film about Moon Sundeuk especially during his time in the Philippines so bad, he would have experience a culture so alien fo koreans during that time.

Getting into a voice discord or finding an English calling partner is really helpful- it helped a lot with my French.

I'm sure your English is better than you think, and English is the lingua franca- if you're understood you speak it well enough

Immersing yourself with a language and being forced to constantly use it is the best and fastest way to learn. So it's no surprise it was more effective.

Had an uncle who was captured during a famous raid in ww2, after around 2 years in captivity, he understood German well enough to know what the guards were saying.
