My tips for learning a different languange is to BUILD VOCABULARY... I feel like most of the time when you're taught a language in a class you learn phrases but you cant communicate without knowing any words so building vocab will significantly help you form grammatically correct sentences and become more fluent. You can build vocab fast by learning the words for everyday foods, items, people, animals, clothes essentially learning like a baby. Hope this helps!

[@lindavel43]

Same! Even if you don't know proper grammar and all. You can still figure out what's going on if you know lots of words in that language.

[@HmLys]

Everything wrong with this Comment. Learning like a baby - Learn lots of vocabulary" hold up. what? I didn't know babies sit down and learn vocabularies. The most important thing learning a language is not the vocabulary but how it sounds. Babies just listen and pick up the language by listening over and over again. They understand by time each words and give them a meaning they heard alot when that object is there or an action is done. If you never know how a word is pronounced and how it sounds like, you will end up saying e.g. "sink" instead of "think"

[@btstwitterupdates3790]

yeah... and basically to improve korean vocabulary; just watch kdramas

[@layanna8702]

@@HmLys I don’t believe that they meant to learn like a literally baby...that would be a bit slow and inefficient. Learning vocabulary as in, trying to build up on as much vocabulary as you can, your favorite foods, how to say common things you say in your native language, in that language. Stuff like that. Anything you know in your native language, is important for you to learn in the target language :) edit: When you learn vocabulary, you can watch videos or talk to people and use the vocabulary from that. From that, you can know the pronunciation. I think you thought they meant study lists and text books. I don’t believe that’s what they meant.

[@goggle2233]

Also draw out your objects you want to remember rather than write them out in English. It helps your brain to remember objects quickly without thinking it in English.

Then I started watching korean dramas and music. Every language has so many *branches* so no language is *"easy"* it matters on the person- how they learn and how interested they are it- like you could learn formal korean- but *slang- sayings* are an important part of every language. don't be discouraged if it takes you a long time- i was like *1* when I came to america and I didn't learn korean until I was *11.* I'm 14 rn currently and I still get confused sometimes- idk in conclusion: *learning korean differs from each person- and i can assure you it does not take 5 minutes to learn oml*

As a German who is trying to learn Spanish and wants to try to learn Korean I totally agree. I almost picked up all of my English by watching TV shows or KZbin videos in english. What I think is important , if you can't talk to a native speaker, is that you try to get away from not being sure how the language actually sounds by hearing a native speaker speak. Even though speaking to a native improves your communication skills even more, doing something is better than doing nothing.

[@graemep7729]

Find a video series/grammar book and learn 1-3 lessons daily- Whatever you can do and review those grammar structures. Find podcasts for natives or kdramas/ other media for natives to watch and listen to, turn on Korean subtitles and off English if you can do you avoid reading English instead of listening to Korean. Immerse yourself, practice writing, and use a dictionary app on your phone to search up new words. Learn verb conjugations and more, maybe use TOPIK exams prep or practice courses. Find other vids of people and how they learned to find your path, good luck!!

[@graemep7729]

Learn through translating and understanding as well as singing songs!

[@sunstarxx]

If you don't mind how long it takes, but really want to get to a high level, this is my advice: Try to find a book (series), website or app that teaches everything (from a beginner to an advanced level) that you like and stick with it. (If it's a book, make sure it has audio). With every new lesson, you'll know that you're improving. Regularly revise the words that you learn through it (perhaps through memrise, I recommend using English as the word that is already given so that you have to write the Korean word). Say the Korean word out loud when you revise it. For books, book series of a Korean university would probably be good. For example Yonsei (can be quite academic), Sogang (focuses more on speaking) or Ewha (I feel like this one is somewhere between Yonsei and Sogang when it comes to the reading-speaking ratio). And while studying, keep watching some Korean programs, in the beginning preferably those about daily life stuff.

[@JoLimMusic]

1. Fluently learn the Korean alphabet first and all the basic pronunciations before reading sentences or doing any other stuff, like: ㄱㄴㄷㄹㅁㅂㅅㅇㅈㅊㅋㅌㅍㅎ etc. 2. Listen to Korean podcasts or talk shows with English subs

[@joneschyna]

I think its better to actually have a korean teacher, i just recently got one from this language app called Preply it has many language teachers on it however you do have to pay. My teacher costs $20 an hour so I just schedule 1 hr twice a week and I've already gotten alot better. But the best way to get better is to make friends with someone who speaks Korean cause alot of the time koreans don't say the things that are in textbooks. it helps you learn the slang and pronunciation. Also watching reality TV or korean KZbinrs also help with learning new vocabulary, pronunciation and listening skills

Haha the 커피/코피 thing reminded me of when I first started learning and I accidentally said “똥물” instead of "동물” 동물 = animal 똥 물 = poop water The pronunciation difference is ever so slight and if you know Korean then you understand lol

As an Italian online teacher this video makes me so happy, I love seeing language students reaching their goals!! Well done It also shows how learning a language with a teacher will make everything easier.

[@97GoalieGirl]

My goal is to be fluent in Spanish, my fiancés family is from Mexico and most of his family does not speak English. I’m Portuguese and the language is frustratingly similar but also very different with pronounciation. It’ll take me a while to get there but I’m positive I can do it! ♥️

[@TheAngelita255]

It's very confusing!! I totally get you, I speak Spanish but I'm studying Brazilian Portuguese and is soooo hard, I keep mixing the words because they are so similar

[@shellheadmel8938]

¡buena suerte! :-)

[@glassjawx10]

I started learning a few years ago, but life got busy and my lessons fell by the wayside. Seeing your journey definitely has reignited my desire to become fluent in Korean once again. Your hard work was truly inspiring, and I hope to catch up to you at some point! Thank you!!

[@ploughable]

Wow, you did great! I learned English using hundreds of movies with Romanian subtitles at 16, then Italian in 3 months watching TV at 18 and now I started learning Korean ... you did so much progress in only 60 days!

[@enoki_erebus769]

As a native Korean speaker, I find it fascinating when non native people try to learn the language. I think that Inga did incredibly well and I'm very impressed at her progress in only 2 months.

[@WildSkyGalaxy]

Inga’s approach is similar to mine: duolingo, get textbooks, change phone language to korean. Differences: I cant afford to take actual lessons yet :’) hoping someday I’ll get there. Also.. changing phone language to korean is really frustrating so I ended up changing it back to english😂

Yaaaay I'm so happy for you!!! Learning a new language is one of the hardest things to do, but it's also one of the most rewarding. Especially considering that Korean is so different from English, you did an amazing job! I remember studying abroad in Japan for a semester in college and being completely thrown off by the language, but it was so fun and challenging that it really inspired me to study harder. Keep it up!

Tip: Watch a lot of kdramas. I've picked up little phrases and can understand some sentences and I haven't even properly started learning Korean yet! Which kind of makes sense because I'm an audible and visual learner so it's probable why I've picked it up so quickly.

[@Strawberryhyuniee_]

Here are some off the tips that worked for me (it’s been 30 days I stared pertaining and I can say a few sentences in Korean 😬) 1. learn Hangul be perfect with Hangul 2.pronounce everything you are learning ex: 감사 합니디 (it means thank u in Korean ) gamsahamida = gam-sa-hamida and try making a sentence with the word so you know how to use the word in sentences while speaking to someone in Korean 3.for easier writing and pronunciation separate the words like ex: ㄱ+ㅏ+ㅁ+ㅅ+ㅏ+ㅎ+ㅏ+ㅂ+ㄴ+ㅣ+ㄷ+ㅣ=감사 합니디 . 4.practice vocabulary in a book 📖,flowers in Korean ,names in Korean ,places in Korean , and many more and read them out loud and write 5.out a test for yourself every 2 weeks to see how much you have learned 6.never give up on your self 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@hey_romy652]

I’ve been juggling french, japanese and korean and honestly i learnt most korean from watching kpop content 😂 Also french for me is manageable since I’ve been learning it from a young age. Japanese on the other hand is really confusing for me...I’ve memorised the hiragana and katakana and i am learning new kanji everyday. I’m also thinking about picking up sign language. And i also want to add that I have true respect for those who are multilangual. 💕

I've been learning German and Korean off and on for a few years now. Consistency is so important. I really struggle and feel like vocabulary slips from my brain easily when I take long breaks. I'm back to taking regular lessons on italki and have a few apps to practice (Babbel and LingoDeer) with when I'm just sitting around away from home. At times all the media I consume will be in my target languages but during this time with covid I've taken steps back from that so I'm less overwhelmed. Goodluck to everyone kn their language learning journeys!

During my time at home, I have also been trying my hand at Korean. It began because my daughter is really into K-pop, hip-hop and R&B. We also watch a lot of the buzzfeed coverage of Korean artists. Since we are together day in and out, I’ve found myself liking the music and falling madly in love with K-dramas. I started by wanting to be able to understand the shows and zone out to the music if I wanted to, but now I too have fallen in love with the culture and want to move there and explore the culture with my children. I know I have a ways to go, but I’m picking up on things. Hopefully I’ll be able to acquire a tutor/teacher as well once I move to Seattle. I really enjoyed your video and you’ve given me great hope. Keep up the hard work! 화이팅!
