lauradi7dwFive years ago I started learning Hangul, to sound out the names on baseball jerseys (and other things)

I am half-watching a game now (Samsung Lions vs Lotte Giants). I can read the names on the jerseys. Without understanding most of the words, I can tell that the play by play people are using the highest formality level (news anchors do that too). If I had studied (really paying attention) half an hour a day, I'd be at 900 hours, almost 10% of the totally made up 10,000 hours one needs to be really good at something.
But that doesn't seem to be me. Still, I have a plan. Before I go back for another trip to Korea, I will study harder, and hike more, and maybe buy a janggu so I can sporadically practice at home.
Meanwhile, I spent parts of two days holding babies after many years of having not done so at all, even other people's children. Now I feel odd not holding one. I'll visit again in a week or two.
