anon asked: i am a beginner and I want to learn Korean. I know that you have your masterlist about what to do next and its really good to look for self study resources but i’m only 18 and i do not have money for a course to learn. what is your advice because i know you say to take a class when you can thank you so much
Coming out of this hiatus to say:
Take FREE classes on Coursera. This is not sponsored, not an ad, not a gimmick. If you’re really at a beginner level and you need that Academic Input of any language, please, please PLEASE take free courses where you can. If you want to take TTMIK too, please do that as well! It’s free to sign up and you don’t need the books.
Taking free Korean classes on Coursera has some awesome benefits from a linguistics standpoint. First off, you get a structured curriculum created by language experts who know their stuff. They break down the language step by step, so you can really understand how it works. Plus, the interactive lessons and exercises on Coursera keep things interesting and help you practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing. And here’s the cool part: you can learn from experienced instructors and chat with other learners from around the world. So, if you want to dive into Korean (in a class like setting), give Coursera a shot.
You might have to self-regulate your studying – as in, complete the course at your own pace. But if you’re diligent and motivated, then please check that out.
TTMIK
Coursera Korean Courses (browse a little (because not all of them are about learning Korean) and choose the free option)
Hope that helps! Happy Learning :)
