Hi I am a freshman from Korea where is far from anything about English literature just as much as its distance from American continent or the island. I just found out English is one thing and Eng literature is another thing. My understanding ability in some practical English is not bad, actually good. However, When it comes to literary world where unfamiliar grammar is all over, one verb gets arbitrary with its meanings, I feel so lost and frustrated. Poems hardly reach my heart. As I give a shot to writing any story, no proper word hits my head instantly. Truly painful as if I woke up after massive car crash with memory loss.
I want to know how others in the same position as mine feel or if theres anyone who overcome this kind of pain, want to hear how. Welcome anyone's comments who has experiences of studying literatures not in his/her mother tougue words.
