“I knew I loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you.. it’s hard to explain but when I look at you, I can feel a fountain of love deep inside me come alive. It’s that very feeling, that I knew I loved you from the very moment we met..”

I couldn’t do anything but love you cause you’re my soulmate - Eue

If two souls are meant to be together, no matter how long it takes, how far they go, how tough it seems, fate will bring them together to share their love forever.

Before I met you I used to dislike so many things, but now all of those things are my favorites because they remind me of you.

And suddenly, every love song made sense.

Every positive change in your life begins with a clear, unequivocal decision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something.

“You’ll never forget a soulmate, a first love, a twin flame, no matter how hard you try to. They’re etched in your bones, buried in your skin, burning in your chest, always. It’s the type of love that leaves something permanent in you, something you’ll never shake.”

Korean learning tips

To begin you should learn 한글 the alphabet. Learning how to read the characters will help with your pronunciation and will allow you to progress ‘quickly’ compared to using romanisation. While romanisation is useful when you start learning, it is almost completely useless if you were to go to Korea.

Moving on from that, you could learn basic vocabulary like numbers, manners, verbs, adjectives and nouns, we also have two posts filled with ‘useful words/phrases’ that you might like to learn (1,2). You could also learn how to introduce yourself and your job!

Learning grammar will allow you to start forming sentences, to start you should learn present tense conjugation, past tense and future tense, there are also other basic grammar points such as ~고 싶어요 meaning ‘to want’. Particles (1,2) are something you will see all the time, while they can be quite hard to grasp to begin with, it’s useful to know what they are and try to understand their usages in the sentence. You could also learn how to make a sentence negative.

(Here are some other posts that, while probably are not essential to 100% memorise when you start, are useful and may answer some questions about why things are the way they are😊 받침, irregular conjugation (1,2), vowel contraction)

General tips:

1. Making a schedule/planning set time to study will encourage you to work. It doesn’t have to be everyday, it could be just a couple of hours at the weekend - be realistic as well so that it doesn’t feel like a chore.

2. Along with setting realistic amount of study time, you could also set achievable goals to help motivate you. If they are unrealistic it might make you feel like you’ll never reach them, so setting little goals will allow you to feel as though you have achieved something!

3. Write a diary in Korean. This will allow you to practise the grammar and vocabulary you have learnt even if you don’t have any friends to talk to. It will also help/prompt you to learn new vocabulary/grammar as you may not know how to say what you want. It doesn’t have to be a long passage, just a few lines will help! It’s also something that won’t take too long so you could do it daily!

4. Learning from a text book can be boring, you could alternate learning between textbook work and something you find more fun! You could listen to Kpop or watch dramas and learn vocab/grammar that you hear repeated! (I think it is possible to see both Korean and English subs on Viki, a feature you might find useful). You could also try to find your favourite show with Korean subs (search for the Korean title then google “title 시즌(season)x x회 (episode)”, I think Baydrama might be a good place to watch), this will allow you to see how things have been translated - you can look up vocab and grammar you find here as well.
