were close to non existent so i didn't want to at first but my partner covinced me and i'm so glad he did bc that experience will stay one of my favorites even if it was very scary. he had to repeat himself more slowly a few times but all in all we could communicate
and i was so happy and proud of myself bc wow!! that's a huge accomplishment!! i felt great until it was time to hang up and my brain stopped when i noticed that i didn't know what to say when u hang up the phone 
my mind was so blank that i couldn't even come up with a

simple 안녕! so i just hung up without saying anything a minute later he texts me like "why did u hang up like that lol" and when i said that i forgot what to say and panicked he laughed and gave me the word. no matter what, i'll never forget 끊을게요 i'm always ready

it was a really embarrassing experience but i'm also grateful for it bc it took a lot of my fear away. you're learning a whole new language!! ofc you would make mistakes. that's how we learn. keep making mistakes and i hope they're funny bc those make u smile even years later ^^
