I¡¯m part Vietnamese and Korean. All of my Korean family speaks Vietnamese, but I would love to become fluent in Korean one day.

I made a promise with my family, that one day, my Korean will be as good as my Vietnamese and French. I think it is very important to not forget where your family originates from.
