Hello!!

I was planning to learn Korean in 2025. Any tips that might help me?? (I tried to learn Korean earlier, too, but the pronunciation and grammar were making me go crazy).

Have a good day!! 🍀🩷

Hellooo!

For beginner I usually start with textbook, I'm using Korean Grammar in Use right now. I think the book covers almost all the basic so it's recommended for beginners👌

Some of my tips are:

- Writing: write your own sentences after study a grammar point. I usually try to make 5 example sentences of my own for each grammar point. This helps me remember the structure also understand vocabularies with context. Once you are comfortable enough, you can start write daily journal in Korean.

Oh!! Also it's totally okay to use dictionary/google translate if you are not sure about something.

- Reading: If I want to read a longer text in Korean I usually just type any topic in Korean and click the top website. If you want to challenge yourself try to read instructions or tutorial in Korean. Sometimes I do the silly like 트위터 다크모드 변경 방법 (How to change Twitter dark mode) and just try to read everything.

- Reading (part 2): If you want to read for funsies you can try read Webtoon! In App store it's called 네이버 웹툰. You can start from slice of life genre since the vocabulary are mostly used in daily life. It's so fun to read like this because there's visual to understand the context.

- Speaking/Pronunciation: well technically it's hard to practice this if you don't have friends to talk to but you can try shadowing. Look for any Korean video/vlog and then try to shadow the way they talk. For beginners you can start with 0.25 speed. You can also try to read aloud while reading Korean words. Fake it til you make it.

- Immersion: The point is to use your target language like your native language. Use Korean as your phone language, write your grocery shopping in Korean, play games using Korean dub/sub etc. I know some people always recommend to use language app to study but personally it's more like complementary rather than the main source.

- Last but not least.... always have fun while learning language :D

Feel free to chat me if you still have any questions❤

Day 6/100 of productivity

Hello everyone, how was your day?

Today I revised 5 grammar points from KGIU and then I made shopping vocabulary + example sentences. It was so fun because as I learn new words, I also learn how to use them in sentences by context. I will do this kind of study regularly and see how fast can my Korean improve.

Also... I post my study timelapse on my TikTok just in case anyone want to check it out... here you go...

[floor3a]

Day 5/100 of productivity

Hello everyone!

Ah, finally finished revising KGIU book! I will practice each grammar point while trying to going through TOPIK 1 & 2 vocabularies lol.

Also, I tried to play Stardew Valley in Korean since I want to include the language in my daily life. It's been fun.

Happy holiday all!

[floor3a]

Day 4/100 of productivity

Another study session with BOYNEXTDOOR!

Today I tried to read Korean short story, it's called Hongbu Nolbu. I think it's easier to memorize vocabularies when you study them with context, like in reading for example. Also, when you read in Korean you passively learn how to structure a sentence.

After studying, I went to this dessert shop near my place. I bought this matcha ice cream and it tastes great! Definitely my favorite.

Merry Christmas and happy holiday to everyone who celebrates it!

[floor3a]

Day 3/100 of productivity

Hello everyone!

I'm halfway done with KGIU book. Also today I did vocabulary practice for TOPIK 1 and 2.

Other than studying, today I went to the gym, read a book, and cleaned my room.

I hope I can stay consistent until the end of 2024!

[floor3a]

Day 2/100 of productivity

Hello everyone!

So many things happened in life recently but I'm here again posting about my language learning progress.

I've been catching up Korean Grammar in Use book. I've noticed that I can understand simple Korean sentences here but it took me awhile to make/create sentences. So I'm going to work on that too.

My goal is to finish revising KGIU book before 2025. Wish me luck!
