Need help for Learning Korean language

Although I'm not currently learning Korean, I remember seeing this a while ago when I was and found it very useful. It's not too detailed but it's simple and really helpful in learning how to read the language.

Hi there,

I have been living in Korea for almost 7 years. I am not fluent in Korean as I didn't ever attend formal classes. Most of the Korean I learnt was self-taught, or from students, or from my ex-boyfriend who was Korean.

I know enough to get by using taxis, subway, shopping etc. I can't do anything about doctors though.

Korean is a tricky language. The grammar is pretty difficult. Verbs go to the end of the sentence, adjectives conjugate like verbs (eg - She is pretty would be 'she is being pretty' in Korean). There are subject, object, and topic markers. Prepositions attach to the back of the words.

A typical sentence like "I am going to the shop to by bread" would basically be "I shop-to to bread buy am going".

The pronunciation isn't too bad, Vowels and consonants only have one sound. The double letters are tricky but with practice they're manageable.

There are great books available in Korea. I bought them at Kyobo Bookstore. The one I found best was Talk to Me in Korean. It's fun and explains things really well. They also have a website.

Good luck

 

All I can say is good luck.

 

To mods: I hope this, my post doesn't count as advertising. If it does, please remove.

I recommend the site Italki, a (mostly free, entirely free if you want to) language learning site. I'm learning Japanese there.

 

Hi! I read your wall post. All I can really say is that you should watch TV shows often or listen to their radio stream. Korean dramas are really popular these days such as the "Descendant of the Sun". There are free radio apps for you to download.
And if you just started learning Korean, take one of the language learning programs!

Good luck

 

My cousin is really interested in the Korean language and it culture, and he recommended to try this website out for leaning some Korean, the only thing on there that you may have to pay for if you want it are the workbooks, but they aren't essential really, as you can get some other notes from other sties if you look around hard enough. I found it to be super awesome for learning the basics. Have fun with it!!

(Oh also i would recommend listening to some K-Pop, BTS are awesome!)

This helped when I was interested in Korean. Good luck!

 

I can't speak for Korean, but for learning languages in general you've got to be consistent and dedicated. There's no point in taking breaks for weeks because if you don't have to speak the language in your day-to-day life you've got no other way of retaining all of the lingo you've learned.

 

Ah, I see somebody already suggested watching Korean movies. That will definitely help, since they use everyday phrases that will be used in casual conversation. I'm not learning Korean, but I am learning Mandarin, and doing this has helped me tremendously.

Have you heard of Lentil? I used it to study Japanese, but it also has the option to study Korean. I had very good experience with the Japanese section so I would imagine the Korean section is the same as well. I recommend you give a try.
