I'm learning two. I'm learning Korean and Hawaiian. I'm using Duolingo for Korean and Hawaiian. I learned about Drops from Twitter recently and I have been using the app to supplement Duolingo's Korean lessons.

I'm learning Korean because I'm Korean American. I was born in South Korea but was adopted as a baby. So learning Korean is just getting touch with a part of my identity I never explored.

I'm learning Hawaiian because I've always wanted to learn the Hawaiian language. I used to read The Royal Diaries book series and my favorite book in the series was about Princess Kaiulani. At the end of the book, I loved reading the appendix to see all the Hawaiian words and what they meant. When I saw Duolingo released a Hawaiian course I got really excited and just had to do the course.
