I think I'm turning Korean.
My laptop goes off, and I scream 'YAH'! at it.
I want to call my mum, I shout 'Omma!'
I keep using 'aish', 'omo' or 'aigoo' instead of 'oh my god' (they all have slightly different meanings).
I think 'otoke' (what should I do) literally all the time.
I use Korean greetings and phrases just as much as the Japanese counterparts, and often interchange them.
I can commonly be found chanting random Korean words, namely 'Annyeonghaseyo, Kamsahamnida, Sarangheyo' (Hello, Thank you, I love you).
Basically, now my parents understand me even less.
I have also discovered they do not appreciate 1am Korean lessons. You probably don't either.

PS While I was looking up the romanicised spellings, I found this website. I can see how every single one of these phrases would come in useful, especially the last one.
