🇰🇷How to learn Korean on your own+tips and resources you need

[@neenobad352]

I’m impressed by those who can self-study foreign languages. I know consistency is key but I find this the hardest to do for me. So I sign up for classes instead. And this is so effective. So I mean find what works for you and enjoy the process❤

[@Ngwezinlinnlett]

Absolutely! Finding what works best for you is so important. Classes can be a great way to stay consistent and motivated, especially if self-studying feels tough. Everyone has their own learning style, so whether it's through classes or self-study, enjoying the process is key! ❤

Indeed. I think accountability is also the most helpful driver when learning. That’s why it’s relatively easier to learn with someone else than on your own. Although most of my learnings are alone, I find that having at least a tutor to help you be accountable can help a lot. And what I’m very noticed is how it’s easier to remember vocabs when you’re using it in convo instead of just memorizing it.

I'm 16 now and i started learning korean this year its been 5 months and 3 weeks im still very low i know fruits, numbers, phrases, greetings, animals, jobs but i still pretty much suck so this tips ARE VERY USEFUL THANK YOU!!!

I now know how to read Korean but not as fast as native Koreans obviously so I read one letter by letter 😶😅and I found out u wrote thank you 😆

OMG TYSM!!! I REALLY WANT TO LEARN!!! 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Lachi-mo-la-la]

Your writing and note are so clean & aesthetic ! I would love if you make more videos on learning korean. Like resources and step by step learning method. I have learned hangul, sino and native numbers, 7days, colors, month and a bit of vocab but really have no idea where to start the grammar from? Also please tell me how can I effectively take notes,, especially for vocabulary does it have to be alphabetical or something? (Sorry if my English is not so good)

[@Ngwezinlinnlett]

For grammar, a good approach is to begin with the basics, like sentence structure (subject-object-verb) and simple particles (like 는/은 and 를/을). Then, gradually move to more complex topics, like conjugating verbs and using tenses. One thing to remember is not to focus too much on grammar patterns; sometimes you pick up more from implicit learning, like listening to podcasts or watching dramas. It helps you absorb natural expressions and makes grammar feel less overwhelming! For vocabulary, you can organize your notes in a way that works best for you. Some people find it helpful to group words by themes (e.g., food, family, emotions) or context (e.g., everyday verbs, adjectives). Alphabetical order is optional-it can be useful for quick reference, but organizing by themes can make it easier to remember related words together. I’ll make sure to share note-taking tips too, so stay tuned for more videos! And no worries, your English is great! 😊

I've been learning Korean language since I was just 11 years old on my own and now I'm 14 I can read and write and I also know some vocabulary now my goal is to learn whole Korean language

[@wookie2615]

Great tips! I love how you broke down the process of studying Korean independently. It really motivates me to stay consistent and make the most of my learning. Thanks for sharing!🌙💞

[@Ngwezinlinnlett]

Happy to help^^

[@kokaylanguagejourney]

This is so great! There are so many helpful resources out there for self study--all we really need now is community! (and a chance to speak with some native speakers haha)

[@StrawberryJamJam29]

I've been self-studying Korean for 8 months and still can't speak a full conversation lol. I can only say random things I learned from kdramas that I've watched for many years and introduce myself. I'm pretty good at listening and getting better at reading. But output is so hard. I don't like language exchange apps. I like iTalki a lot more, but I don't have the finances right now. I need to practice talking to myself more.

[@Ngwezinlinnlett]

It sounds like you've already made great progress, especially with listening and reading-those are huge skills to build! 🎉 Speaking can definitely be the hardest part, especially without regular practice. Talking to yourself is actually a great way to build confidence and improve your output! You can even try narrating what you're doing throughout the day or practicing conversations in your head. Keep going-you’re doing awesome! 💪😊

[@qiqi9860]

Thanks for the great resources. I will try using HelloTalk because I also don't have anyone to practice with.

[@Ngwezinlinnlett]

I hope you find it helpful! Feel free to share how your experience goes! 💬✨

I have been learning languages on Duolingo for almost 5 years now. I started with Spanish and French and now am learning Finnish, Swahili, Korean and German too. My short term goal is to be able to watch web series and movies without sub titles and my long term goal is to go beyond. For Spanish it is to become conversational. For French, it is to be able to listen to podcasts without getting stuck. For Korean, I would like to be able to read and write fluently some day. Do you have any tips on how to learn Korean better while attempting to learn multiple languages? Currently the resources I amusing are Duolingo, web series, movies, podcasts and audio books.

[@Ngwezinlinnlett]

For Korean, especially while learning multiple languages, it’s crucial to have consistent exposure to spoken Korean and to practice Hangul regularly to enhance your reading and writing skills. Writing often is essential-like I mentioned in the video, try keeping a journal in Korean or writing short summaries of what you watch or listen to. Since you’re already using web series and podcasts, you're off to a great start! To further improve, consider incorporating shadowing exercises-repeating out loud with the audio-as well as dedicating time to read in Korean, whether it's books or online materials, two to three times a week. This will significantly aid in your pronunciation and comprehension. Keep up the great work! ^^

How do you know what to put on your notes? 저는 한국어를 공부하는 중이에요, 하지만 노트에는 뭘 써야 할지 모르겠어요.

[@Ngwezinlinnlett]

When learning Korean, I like to focus on key vocabulary, grammar structures, and example sentences that show how the language works in everyday situations. I also write down useful or interesting phrases that catch my attention, and I always make sure to note tricky pronunciation points or common mistakes to avoid. One important tip: try to write your notes in your own words as much as possible-it helps with understanding and retention. I also find it helpful to take notes after language exchange sessions and when I get my texts corrected. Hope this helps!

[@OT7-V1]

Thank you I will try all the tips can you also tell me where you can also copy the words which apps are good for this?

[@Ngwezinlinnlett]

If you mean by note-taking apps, Notion and Evernote are great for organizing vocabulary and tracking your progress. Personally, I just use a simple app like Kilonotes for handwriting practice.

How you take Korean note ideas ? Which app you use digital writing

[@Ngwezinlinnlett]

When learning Korean, I focus on key vocab, grammar, and example sentences that show how the language works in real contexts. I also note tricky pronunciation or common mistakes and write in my own words to aid understanding. After language exchanges or corrections, I add those insights to my notes too. For the note-taking apps, I use Noteshelf and Kilonotes. Hope this helps^^

this is jam ? 점 because ㅈ - j ㅏ- a ㅁ - m I know it’s a weird word and question but these little things could turn into a huge help for the Korean language. Anyways, if so, my favourite food is 점 😂❤

[@dodolala8141]

Actually, “점” (pronounced jeom) doesn’t mean "jam" in Korean-it actually means “dot,” “point,” or even a “mole” on the skin. The sound “jom” (좀) with a softer “j” sound can mean “a little” or be used to soften a request, but neither of these words means the food jam. If you're thinking of the sweet spread “jam,” it's usually called 잼 (jaem) in Korean, which sounds closer to the English pronunciation and uses ㅈ (j), ㅐ (ae), and ㅁ (m). It’s a fun example of how different words can sound similar in Korean, though! 😊

Yeah, it can be easy to mix them up at first! While they share some similar sounds and sentence structures, once you get deeper into each language, you'll notice the differences in pronunciation and tone. It’s all part of the learning journey! 😄
