Yes, it is true that television plays a major role as a language influencer. Based on my own experience since I came here in the country I am currently living for the past 6 months everyday I am watching their Korean teledrama, news report, cooking shows and I am really learning from them especially the pronunciation of the words. Its amazing and in just a span of time I am already able to speak the language even just a few words and construction of sentences. And I feel so excited to learn more about the language.
