FAQ
If you are new to the blog and are looking for any information regarding how to learn Korean, travel, or resource material, please refer to my Korean Resource Masterpost and my Self Study Guide.
If your question is grammar related, please check to see if it has been answered. If not, please feel free to ask!
Inbox Rules:
1) I donāt do translations - Translations are not the focus of this blog, and since I receive so many of them, it is impossible to keep on top of. So for this reason, any translation requests in my inbox will be deleted from now on - no exceptions. I apologise for the inconvenience.
2) I will delete repeated questions - By this, I just mean that sometimes I have more than one of the same question in my inbox at the same time. So I will keep the question that was asked first, and delete any repeats within my inbox. So if I donāt specifically answer your question, but I release an answer with a similar question, youāll know why I didnāt respond. However, if you still have something left unanswered, feel free to specify and send me another ask and Iāll do my best to respond.
3) I will link - If I receive a question that has been answered before, I will just do what I normally do and link to other posts that help to answer the question! So donāt worry if you ask something that has been asked before - I am more than happy to link you to the answer, since I know phone users especially canāt navigate my posts easily. ^^
4) Ask box only - If you have a Korean related question, please enquire through my ask box and not my messages. Thank you.
Those are really the only four rules. Thank you for understanding!
Do you use any other social media?
I have an Instagram for Korean Idioms, and another Instagram for all my vocabulary study cards! I also have a Twitter for updates! And a Memrise for vocabulary!
How long have you been studying Korean?
Honestly, not long! Iāve only been dabbling in the language since late October 2015.
Do you self study?
Yes. I try to dedicate at least four hours a week into learning grammar and vocabulary.
What is your native language?
My mother tongue is English!
What is your name?
Most people call me Elle (pronounced Ellie)! My real name is Emily.
Will you add audio to your study cards?
I did consider making audio for the pronunciation, however I came to the conclusion that the quantity of vocabulary Iām supplying each week is already being juggled on top of university work. So making videos or audio would only increase the work and provide difficult to keep up. Although, Iām not completely dismissing the idea, so Iāll see what happens!
Will you add romanisation to you study cards?
I personally donāt think that romanisation is necessary, and quite often, it seems to be that learners can find it restrictive. This is mainly due to the fact that it can actually inhibit proper pronunciation and hinder reading fluency. Romanisation also has the habit of contradicting advanced pronunciation rules, and for these reasons, I donāt like to include it. I also had an open discussion with most of you about adding it - and it seems that a majority would dislike me to include romanisation. I apologise for the inconvenience.
Am I allowed to save the study card youāve made?
Of course. Thatās why I make them! ;) However, I do not allow the re-uploading of any of my flashcards without first asking permission. I put time and effort into these study cards, and itās upsetting to see my work posted without proper credit.
Why did you start learning Korean?
I love language, and have dabbled in many! I decided to learn a language completely different to anything Iāve learnt before, so I picked Korean randomly. I fell in love with it, and from there Iāve found a secret passion for Korean drama!
What other languages have you studied/know?
I have studied German, French, Russian, Japanese, and have recently just started to learn Danish. Although, Korean has been the most fun!
