How to learn Korean grammar - my study method | 한국어 문법 공부법

Hey guys! Here's how I create a study schedule to track my learning progress for Korean grammar in preparation for the TOPIK exam. I only create study schedules when there's something like a test I'm preparing for. I also share tips in this video on how to learn grammar specifically.
Since filming this video, the TOPIK exam has been postponed again until July. But anyway, now I have more time to review! Hope it helps and hope you enjoy!
As usual, remember to turn on subtitles for the first bit of the video.

When I learn new grammar, I tend to stay on the topic until I completely understand it.... which is about a whole day. Then, I review everything I have learned so that I don't forget anything. I also make sentences and a diary of the things I did during the day using the grammar structure + new vocabulary words. Studying Korean is fun!

[@Myyyyyyylobeeeee]

Now do you speak Korean language

[@jamsforsale6767]

@@Myyyyyyylobeeeee Yes. I try to make sentences/think in korean as much as I can. Of course, I don't just study and not speak. Practice makes perfect 👍 Edit: on not fluent Though

[@LetsLanguageTogether]

I love how organized your notebook is with the grammar inventory! I need to try this out because I have definitely gone through a book where I knew the grammar at the beginning and started to fall off out of boredom since I wasn’t learning anything new.

[@LindieBotes]

Thank you! I did realize it was a bit silly of me to rewrite the table of contents, but then I looked again and thought it was a nice way to mark off what I've done on paper. Whatever works for you!

Hey Lindie! Great video. As you’ve mentioned before in a video a long time ago, I’m stuck in that “intermediate “ B2 phase, it seems (with French). I struggle with retaining and making use of new vocabulary. For me, the most difficult part is speaking: that is, spontaneously coming up with the words I need to express a certain thought and putting them in the right order. How should one improve this? Finding people to speak through calls, even on hellotalk is hard!

[@sea2488]

Hi! I really find your way of studying really nice! I just wanted to ask how you organize the different grammar structures into the sections you seem to have ? Do you do it by parts of speech or something else? I find myself grasping the different areas of korean grammar really hard. I know I shouldn’t get too caught up in that and just do the grammar, but I find it easier for my brain to understand when it can compartmentalize the grammar into different areas if that makes any sense? Thank you ☺️

​@UC629czp6fFUqjqHvSVlaqEQ I completely agree and thank you for bringing this up, I didn't want to apologise but by doing so it prevents me from getting comments like "grammar nazi" "this is youtube chill" "okay boomer" etc. which spam my mail (this has actually happened). I'd also just like to say that your choice of vocabulary is very interesting and so is your writing style! What comes to mind is "eloquient".

I'm taking a program and they introduce 2-3 completely new grammar forms every day.. a vocabulary test of 20 new words almost every day, homework every day and the program is 4hrs a day 5 days a week. Finding it pretty overwhelming and I agree about not cramming in too much grammar at once. I wish they introduced maybe 1 new grammar form a day at most.

I hope you share some of your French studies if you are still working on that. Do you think your e-book would apply to someone like myself? I am thinking of starting Spanish now to try something new, do you think that it is wise to try adding a third language if you are not at the level you want to be with the first language?
