My advice to you would be not to look at ECs a bit differently. I agree, you should NOT go out and join a bunch of clubs that you have no interest in. But you already are doing something you are passionate about – you are learning different languages, on your on and outside of school. That alone is an EC in a sense, or possibly can be made into one. Look around in your community – maybe there is a Korean group that meets once a week or on the weekends; maybe there is a preschool that has Korean children and you can volunteer and improve your Korean – OK, I am totally grabbing at straws. But my point is to STICK WITH YOUR PASSION – which sounds like it is languages - and get broader and deeper there. Don’t feel like you have to find ECs at your school, you do NOT.
