He first studied Korean at the immersive program Federal Service Language Academy (FSLA) hosted by the University of North Georgia (UNG). During college, Andrew studied abroad in the summer of his sophomore year at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. He graduated with highest distinction from Indiana University Bloomington (IU) with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and a minor in Psychology.
While learning Korean, Andrew noticed that many words shared the same root words. He looked into this and learned about the Hanja. Andrew realized that Hanja are to Korean as Latin is to English. Knowing them allows one to figure out the meaning of new words and make connections between old words. To help others become more fluent in Korean, Andrew wrote the book √Root Korean: A Dictionary of Korean Root Words (Hanja) and developed the app √Root Korean: A Hanja Dictionary.visualizza meno
