Learn Korean for Beginners: The Ultimate 100-Lesson Course

You learn Korean minutes into your first lesson. Learn to speak, read and write with 100 video lessons by real teachers.

Learning Korean Resource: Can I continue to learn without giving up?

When learning Korean by myself, I often stop learning for a while after every little milestone. I simply don't know what to learn next or I go on a search (mostly on google and youtube) for what to learn next and where do I learn them from?

Eventually, I would stop for a while, then try to get back to learning again but hit history repeats itself over and over again. It has been almost 5 years since I first started to learn Korean but I do not feel that I have progressed much.

Now, I decided to look for courses that cover more topics, preferably with a space where I can post questions to ask for help from instructors or fellow students. That was when I found this ultimate 100-lesson course for beginners.

Perhaps I can watch one or a few lessons each day and build a routine to learn a little Korean each day. Once I've gotten used to the routine, it might be easier to continue learning after I finished the course. This is a course I decided to enroll in to help me build the habit to learn Korean so that I will be less likely to give up after finishing the course. Hopefully, I won't feel exhausted and lost on what to learn next.

Learning Korean: Restart

I intend to restart learning Korean through this course within the month. If you're like me - wishing to build the routine and habit of learning a little Korean each day and get into the momentum of learning Korean, you can try to find a course to enroll in, watch a lesson or two per day, and learn with fellow students :)

Fighting!

Are you tired of learning Korean?

Do you wonder why some people could reach a stage of fluency in Korean in just 1 or 2 years, while you can still barely read and understand Hangul after self-studying for many more years?

Are you sometimes tired of learning the Korean language and wonder why you even started to learn?

Ngl I thought it was an advert before I saw your username and was surprised there isn't a "take a lesson with us" at the end...xD

Don't get discouraged by others, just make sure whenever you see something is not working for you, you experiment with other ways to study.

And set goals, but realistically obtainable goals and try to work towards them :)

And if you need advice, motivation or smth, feel free to send a message. :)

Must-Know Words and Phrases from 10 Best Tales of Korea Chapter 1 Part 2

[alittlediarykorean]

Learning Korean from scratch

Start from: Korean Alphabet a.k.a. Hangul

It is not difficult to memorize and recognize the Korean alphabet in less than a day. But it is a different story when it comes to actually using what you learned or know. 

From a personal experience, my reading and writing of the Korean words only improved faster when I practiced reading and writing words I see on videos and social media posts. 

However when I first started learning Hangul, the resources I learned from only taught the sounds of each letter in the alphabet. I could read them but I was reading them very slowly and had a hard time understanding the sound changes. 

My foundation was not strong. Hence, my learning of the Korean language was very slow and I gave up a few times. 

When I first Korean unnie upload this Introduction to Korean Alphabet series recently, I decided to give it a try again and just learn Korean from scratch all over again. However, I want to build a stronger foundation from the start, so that I do not need to keep going back to learn the basics while learning the more advanced parts of the language such as the grammar. 

Hopefully this series will help you in building a strong foundation in Korean language as well. :)
