Ahhh I love your energy! You motivate me to study languages more

[@studywithkelly]

Aww thank you!! Glad I could help!!♡♡

[@wendyscribbles]

I 2nd the "review your lessons" portion. I basically skimmed through the lower beginner in How to Study Korean and am now going back through the beginner levels in Talk to me in Korean to remember the stuff I just skimmed through. Some definite regrets there. I get the review packets that HTSK offer for each group of lessons and review with those.

[@lynnz7501]

7:44 not going to lie I actually laughed out loud here. . .mixing up words or saying the wrong thing or something that differs from how you really meant it is very relatable. And the panicking was super funny and cute 😂

[@Smoothie1025]

OMG! your dimples are so cute!! i really want to study korean, thanks alot for this video!

[@nurkamiliailyana]

You are SO REAL, so cute! i love your energy! Thanks, your tips are very helpful. My progress is a kinda slow, i'm getting into a 'slump' but i will get back in track! Thank you 🥰🌟

[@tahsinoclock]

I’m not sure if im a lower intermediate (I’ve been using solely immersion after I learnt 한글 for 7 ish years) but I understood you completely!! It surprised me really. The grammar is really daunting for me to study unlike Japanese so it kind of sucks, so I resort to kpop or kdrama for learning

[@lynnz7501]

As far as I know the grammar for Japanese and Korean is really similar based on what I've seen. I use Teuida for learning Korean atm and it introduced grammar points in short lessons that are really entertaining. Like today I learned 고싶어요 So like 먹고싶어요 means I want to eat lol Teuida basically teaches through short lessons and mock pre-recorded conversations that you do with the teacher and actor where it grades your pronunciation. And its completely usable for free. You dont have to pay anything you just get a key a day that unlocks a new lesson plus the practice and review quizzes that go with it. . .and new units will have a mini vocabulary lesson with the first lesson of that unit. I've learned so much and managed to keep a 37 day streak as of right now. Its amazing.

[@bl_is_bliss]

Hey Kelly❤ I found you channel through this video (as I looked up for how to study with htsk) and I'm absolutely loving your videos. You really motivate me to keep studying Korean. I have a doubt. In the vocabulary list, for each word, more phrases (common usages) sorta stuff is given (it's kinda a drop-down thing when you click the word translation). Do you study those too?

[@studywithkelly]

Ooh hi!! Glad you're enjoying my content ^^♡ Mm if a word is too vague or I dont know a situation when I'd use the word I look at the drop down stuff, or if it's a word that has two different words in korean I look to see what the difference is, but if it's a word like 방학 or 의사 I dont bother because it's pretty straightforward 😊👍

Can you make a video, how you started with Korean till now. I have a lot of motivation, but I can’t seem to start because I don’t know how.❤

I'll see what I can do, I have a video coming out soon that kind of covers that? I'll see if I can make an actual video covering motivation to studying ^^👍

[@a.dorcas7546]

I really needed this video to begin my Korean language journey 💗 This is the first time I heard someone has recommended using "slowly" for language learning, and its a really underrated resource.

[@studywithkelly]

Best of luck on your future language endeavors!! 화이팅 😁👍

[@vio3366]

Kelly, te perdiste otra vez de KZbin. Espero que estés bien 🙂

[@studywithkelly]

Gracias por su comentario, regresaré pronto! Los videos/proyectos que he hecho requerían todo el mes para cumplir 😁

[@wenslearning]

Hi, I started learning Korean with how to study Korean and your video is very useful for me. But I can't find the memrise course link on their website. Maybe they deleted it?? 😢

[@studywithkelly]

Yeahhh I noticed that recently, to find the courses search them up on google for now: howtostudykorean.com unit 1 memorise and you should be able to find it that way, unfortunately they've taken down the links through the website and replaced it with their new app 😢

[@Help22222]

At what level do you recommend using the korean story books? I want to buy it but idk if it'll be useful for me atm since I'm only starting. -a question from your elder hahha

[@studywithkelly]

I'd say once you can read hangeul you can buy books! Of course buy beginner books, children's books if you can! If not you could watch Korean cartoons and read those subtitles!^^

[@juliananzita7863]

hello kelly, hope ur doing well u haven’t been posting😭, but also may i ask what lesson are you on howtostudykorean?😊 tysm as always

[@studywithkelly]

I knowww, I'm sorry I havent had time to upload life got really hectic for a little bit, I was moving, then it was one family emergency after another, it was just a lot working on getting videos done right now so I can spam post content to make up for my absence :') Thank you so much for your patience!!♡

As for htsk I am on Unit 3 Lesson 68 ^^

[@Julia-qe9fn]

how many languages do you speak/are you learning?

[@studywithkelly]

Fluent in 2, Spanish and English, and seriously studying 3, Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin, I also like familiarizing myself with Italian and Bisaya ^^

[@prerna-0108]

Hello, I wanted to ask you what is the next step after learning Hangul, can you please tell me please.

[@studywithkelly]

If you can comfortably say you've memorized hangeul, I would move on to batchim (받침), it's the pronunciation rules for Korean consonants and they are extremely useful for having better pronunciation in the long run. After that, I would start learning some basic grammar structures such as time/place particles, to be, to be at a location, to have something, and, or, but, past/present tenses, etc! You can find all these in organized lists on howtostudykorean.com or talktomeinkorean.com for free! :)

[@studywithkelly]

Oh and dont forget to start building a vocabulary!! There are vocabulary lists in howtostudykorean.com with every list as well as many apps you could find for vocabulary as well ^^

Does howtostudykorean not have their memrise anymore?

[@studywithkelly]

They do still have Memrise courses for Units 1-3, I haven't gone past those so i dont know about the rest but i would assume so? 😊

Hi I wanna ask you how many lessons from htsk should I take daily? I am on unit 1 lesson 9 and I want passed topic 1 during summer.

[@studywithkelly]

oooh thats a cool goal :o hmmm to pass topik 1? I'd definitely try to get at least halfway through unit 2 if not finish unit 2, also make sure you're using plenty of immersion with other sources like korean movies, podcasts, books, to enhance your vocabulary and comprehension. It'll also help you grasp the grammar and vocab you learn in context! :) as for how many you should do daily is up to you! you could stick with one a day or you could do two a day! some lessons are longer and more complicated than others so you might even want to take two days on those, one to learn the concept and the second to review and practice it, but some lessons are super easy and bie sized so you could probably double up on those. that's what i did anyway, good luck finding what works best for you! ^^
