the days have passed. it is officially my last day in quarantine.
Ada satu pertanyaan kenapa perempuan utamanya yang didominasi oleh mbak-mbak middle age lebih cepat menguasai atau mempelajari bahasa korea.
Saya coba menanyakannya pada beberapa kawan. Lalu jawaban mereka secara tersirat adalah adanya cinta di diri mereka.
Hasrat untuk menguasai bahasa asing tersebut menjadi berlipat karena di dorong oleh semangat tanpa adanya intervensi dari pihak manapun. Jadi enjoy dalam belajar. Walaupun pada konteks ini mereka belajarnya karena ingin bisa bahasa korea karena terpengaruh K-pop culture.
Mengingat kembali era 2010, dimana ada muatan lokal bahasa jepang di pelajaran SMA. Saya ingat betul bahwa saya tidak begitu suka tapi saya bisa dalam belajar. Bisa karena terbiasa, setelah berlatih beberapa kali menghafal huruf hiragana.
Namun, hal itu tidak diikuti dengan cinta. Jadinya pasca pelajaran berakhir, berakhir pula hafalan vocab, ingatan hiragana, katakana, dan pronounciation japanese nya.
Pada kali ini saya mencoba memepelajari bahasa korea dengan cinta. Walaupun cinta ini belum ada di awal waktu, tapi saya yakin ia akan muncul entah kapan waktunya.
First impression, saya bingung, karena zero experience about korean languange. Belajar menghafal hangeul juga secara otodidak. Yang jelas, alasan utamanya adalah agar dapat bertahan hidup di Korea.
Alhamdulilah, sonsaengnim (guru) bahasa korea nya sangat humble, dan bisa menjelaskan dengan baik, sehingga mudah dimengerti. Akhirnya ada alasan berikutnya untuk mencintai, karena nyaman dengan penjelasan sonsaengnim.
Then, pada minggu keempat, ternyata sonsaengnim nya ganti. Bahasa pengantar udah full korean, bukan billingual.
First impression pada sonsaengnim yang ini jadi jelek, dan merubah mood yang awalnya semangat buat korean class, jadi males, dan merasa terbebani. Oh, ini berarti tanpa melibatkan cinta.
Perlahan tapi pasti. Muhasabah diri kembali. Tanjakan selalu naik. Ternyata saya mulai kehilangan cinta pada minggu lalu di kelas bahasa.
Setelah meneguhkan hati kembali, dan berusaha mengembalikan cinta, alhamdulilah ini jadi kembali terasa mudah.
Ternyata, butuh cinta di setiap tempat.
Sama seperti dawuhe Gus Baha, bahwa ciri-ciri cinta itu rileks. Membuat santai, tidak tertekan, dan ikhlas menjalaninya. Dari hal itu kita akan semakin mudah dalam mencapai ilmu, atau apapun yang sedang kita usahakan.
