Basic Info
Name: Seong Im "Diana" Hong [홍성임]
Mother tongue: Korean is my first language, but also very comfortable with English.
Language(s) I'm learning: Korean [brush-up], Japanese [1st year at high school class]
Skill level: Korean- native speaker, but vocabulary level is that of an elementary school kid.
English- I speak English almost all the time, except when I'm talking to my parents or Korean elders in my community, so I'm very fluent. When spoken, however, my grammar is rather bad.
Japanese- My first year. Can speak in simple sentences with limited vocabulary.
Can people contact you if they want to practice your mother tongue? Yes, only if they can speak and write semi-fluent Japanese to "trade it off."

Anything else about yourself you'd like to add: I'm rather forward when talking in Korean. Very forward. It's my Korean personality. I'm very much a teenager when you're talking to me in English. And Japanese... I'll be thankful if a native speaker can understand me, let alone categorize my personality through my usage of the language.
