I am Korean. I want to be good at English. But English is too difficult. Actually, I'm using a translator to write this article. English grammar is too hard And in fact, Koreans are not completely good at Korean either. So sometimes people say, "Am I really Korean? I should learn Korean again." So let's be confident and get to know each other's languages!Way to go for it!

I am from Ukraine. So i was leaning English too, and I can say something about it. "Readlang web reader" is for your browser. You can turn it on and click on the world you don't know. You will see it in Korean. On the website you can also see and practice the words you don't know. For grammar I can recommend just thinking what is going on in the sentence. I have some books, but I am not sure about language (either Ukrainian or English everywhere, what is not good for you) Also try not to put high expectations. Learn a bit, and a bit.(I was trying to write it as simple as I can. I'm a bit scared to use translator, because sometimes it gives something wrong 😅) I believe in you. You can do it!

"The most important thing here is consistency. Rather than going all-out for a few days and then giving up, it's better to go easy and slow, while also enjoying the process."

[@ayaya1346]

as someone who majors in a programming related course, I can vouch that programming really isn’t something you can learn in a single school year (or more). it’s a gradual process of mastering the foundation and continuous discovery of a language’s features and specialties. Being an instructor right now, I’ve been repeatedly telling my students that the best way to learn programming is simply to practice, the school can only teach you the syntax, you’re the one who still solves the problem. I tend to advice them to solve at least 1-2 programming problems a day (or more if they’re free) and it will comes a time that whatever structure of problem they encounter, they can solve it as easily as breathing. learning Programming is a very challenging but fun process. Good luck and God bless on your programming journey ❤️

I've picked up just about as much Korean from studying as I have Mandarin from watching C-dramas. Relaxing and enjoying the learning makes a 10 Billion percent difference.

So I gave in and paid for online classes. I enjoy it a lot, and even became the Top 1 in our class. ^^ I guess what I'm trying to say is know what learning style you perform best in, instead of forcing yourself and expecting good results because I think learning will only be successful if you enjoy the process. 💌

So, Spanish and French do confuse me because they have the same letter and some words are the same but have different meanings (ex: Nombre which means 'name' in Spanish but 'number' in French) But when the language has different writing systems (Korean/ Japanese/ French) it's not that confusing. What I tend to do is, I learn different sections. Like, if I am doing Japanese vocab today, I'll focus on French grammar today and not vocab to avoid confusion. But experiment with what works best for you and good luck!

My first attempt to learning Korean was back in 2010 when I first got into Kpop. While learning Hangul was relatively easy, the grammar rules have always confused me. Over the years, I attempt to learn the language again and again, but drop it after a few days. It was only with this year's attempt that I had actually made significant improvements, because of something my friend said. "Learn languages independently from each other, not as a translation of each other." I turn my English brain off. Put myself in a Korean context. You'd be surprised by the amount of vocabulary buried behind your mind, from years of watching variety shows. The grammar rules come to make sense eventually. The most important thing is to enjoy in learning, take lessons daily even short ones. Slow and steady wins the race. Hoping one day I can speak as fluently as you, Rhea.

[@kimanhh999]

@South Korea You can learn new laguage easily. You know? I've realized I mistook in learning language. I learn much grammar and vocab, I don't focus on listening and speaking. The first thing we need to learn language is alphabet (writing), sound from alphabet, example and word's picture, and we need to repeat the passage without understanding, for my speech and my ear. Yes! I'm stupid @@

Korean was like the only language I put my heart into. I tried spanish but I got bored of it. Spanish wasnt for me so I dropped that language but some time I will continue it again. Then I found out about korean and was super hyped to learn Korean. I currently on my 4th month of learning Korean but I took a break. This vid is really motivating now. Korean is fun to learn but also sometimes I get stressed out because I realized that I have so many other thing I need to learn. I dont know much about the culture and the food so I'll start researching more. For me I think Korean was the only language I liked to learn so far. Some people might call me crazy when i say this but Comparef to spanish and Korean Korean was like a walk in the park. And it was so exciting to learn it. But theres just to much to learn about. I might not even make it to fluency level but Im just gonna try my best. Korean made so many other languages look even easier lol. I really enjoy Korea and I'd like to travel their some day. Korean is the best. and Thanks for the information and the wonderful vid.

I tried to learn Korean in 2016 but gave up after a few months, my problem is that I want instant results and have no patience at all.. it took me years to become fluent in English so I know I have a long way to go to learn Korean.

I think one thing about people’s faults in education is many undermine their efforts while also believing they haven’t progressed and are not a better version of themselves than before. It is hard to not feel rewarded or proud of yourself when you still have so much more to learn, but it will always be that way in life. Our world is ever changing and progressing. So stop dreading the fact that you will never know all of it and start with the fact that you have come so far from before. It’s all about mindset and consistency, and I believe in you!! We can learn this together. Even clicking on this video and watching it puts you one step ahead of where you were 20 minutes ago.

Ive been "studying" korean for almost 4 years but i get busy and overwhelmed and i have gotten little to nothing done. Of course i know basics but i feel useless and awful for knowing so little after so long. This video gives me comfort to start again taking little, productive steps towards fluency. Thank you so much :) and to anyone out there in the same boat we got this!! Good job getting this far!

[@FierceGinger]

I've been trying to learn for 7+ years on and off, I've tried everything, from apps, video's, audio, writing down everything. But I think the reason why I have failed is one, I have no one to test it on, no one to talk to in Korean (yes I even tried those apps where you do but no one is interested in the actual language, it's more like a random flirting awkward conversation. And second, in a way there is no point since there's no one local or even relatively close to my community learning Korean so I couldn't even join a language class if I wanted to. However there was one method that really helped me when I was studying words and pronunciations and that is when you come across a word that you know the meaning to and how it sounds, go to google, type in, Korean to English, and then hit the microphone button and try to say the word until the correct meaning and hangul come out perfectly. It really helps with being able to pronounce clearly instead of saying it wrong and it ends up sounding like something else with a different meaning. I know everyone is against romanization, but after I would figure out the correct way to pronounce it, I would write as closely to how it sounds as I could. I would write the word in 4 rows, Hangul, English, meaning, and then the personal romanization under all of it. My biggest struggle was sentences and the sentence structure. Even if I could memorize a whole sentence, trying to say it, especially a long one would have me stuck. Give me sayings, expressions, and phrases and I'm good to go, anything longer...forget it. It's just too hard to learn a language that you wouldn't even be able to practice or talk to anyone which is the way to keep the language fresh in your memory. I've just given up at this point.

[@butterfree93148lifestyle]

3 years ago, my only goal was to learn how to read and write in korean( which I was able to achieve in 90 minutes thanks to 90 day korean lol) as soon as I learned how to read I opened naver and read every article i could find just to practice my reading speed and pronunciation despite not knowing the meaning of what I was reading I just kept going I even followed as many korean artists I could just to practice reading their posts ( cause theyd put long descriptions on their selfies in korean) but then reading got boring so after a month I decided to learn new words and grammar from ttmik and go billy ( both sources are extremely organized in teaching you from a to z so I highly suggest ttmik and go billy sources) fast forward 3 months later, I officially joined the ksif level 1 way back 2019 and im currently a level 6 in the institute on top of that earlier this year, i have also won 3rd place at the korean speech contest which was honestly a big acheivement for me especially because I never intended to go this far. I'm sad to say I'm still not fluent in the language. there are still many words and expressions I don't know unless I truly focus on studying but I can proudly say I've come a long way and I'm hella comfortable speaking to my teachers and classmates in Korean. It's second nature to me. all this was made possible by one goal which is to progress. my goal is progress, not fluency cause when you aim for fluency, it'll overwhelm you and will show you how far the road is and how much you don't know, so you'll end up subconsciously discouraged. but if you aim for progress, it'll always show you how far you've come! plus I always tell myself language learning is a lifelong process so go easy on yourself and grow as you go. let's keep learning everyone.! education is brain development no matter the age and the benefits you get from educating yourself, especially in languages is UNMATCHED!
