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!
How long have you been studying Korean?
Honestly, not long! I’ve only been dabbling in the language since late October 2015.
Yes. I try to dedicate at least five hours a week into learning grammar and vocabulary.
What is your native language?
My mother tongue is English!
I use my initials L.E. as a mash up for my name online; so most people call me Ellie or Elle! My real name is Emmie.
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 I’m 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, I’m not completely dismissing the idea, so I’ll see what happens!
Will you add romanisation to you study cards?
I personally don’t think that romanisation is necessary, and quite often, it seems that learners can find it quite restrictive. This is mainly due to the fact that it can actually inhibit proper pronunciation and hinder reading fluency. For this reason, I don’t like to include it. However, for those that like to use romanisation, personally putting in the effort and piecing together the romanisation yourself is a great way to truly learn it by heart! After all, it’s all about practice. ^^
Am I allowed to save the study card you’ve made?
Of course. That’s 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 it’s 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 I’ve learnt before, so I picked Korean randomly. I fell in love with it, and from there I’ve 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!
