What do I start with if I am starting Korean and how to I find out how to speak the basics. Can you help or give tips on how you started out??

안녕하세요! There are some great sites to help you get started on your Korean journey! The best way to study a language is to expose yourself to it everyday for at least 30 minutes to an hour. If you watch some Korean dramas, you can pick up some phrases. When I first started out, I learned how to write my name, then I got a white board and wrote down the alphabet multiple times until I memorized them all. When I would watch dramas, I would write down simple vocabulary that I heard.

Here are my tips for you:

Make sure you master the alphabet. I don’t recommend just reading how each letter is pronounced but to actually hear it being pronounced. Here is a good video.

There are some good sites out there that have great Korean lessons. Here are some:TalkToMeInKoreanHowToStudyKoreanSejonghakdang - Free EbooksTHE CYBER UNIVERSITY OF KOREA

Watch Korean language videos. (YouTube is going to be your best friend). KoreanUnnieSang-Seok YoonTalkToMeInKoreanKoreanClass101BASIC Phrases24 Hour KOREAN

Download the app HelloTalk and HiNative on your phone. You can talk to natives who can help you learn the language!

Download a Korean dictionary on your phone. Naver Dictionary is very good!

Download a Korean radio and podcasts. I recommend Radio Korean (Coco) and Player FM.

Follow Korean Instagram accounts.

List to KPOP and read the lyrics in Hangul. You can learn new vocabulary and how things are pronounced!

Practice your listening and speaking skills. This is the hardest thing to do but many neglect doing this and find themselves only studying vocabulary and the grammar. Don’t make that mistake! From the very beginning you should force yourself to speak it EVERYDAY no matter how awkward and bad it might be. So how can you practice if you don’t have any Korean friends? Here are some tips!

I would recommend recording yourself and posting it on HiNative and/or HelloTalk. People can give you feedback and tips. (Don’t be discouraged if they can’t understand you at times, keep working hard!).

If you have Netflix, there are some Korean dramas that have Korean subtitles. Watch the drama with… Korean subtitles!!! NOT English subtitles. When you put English subtitles, you aren’t really active listening anymore. BUT when you watch with Korean subtitles, you see how the sentences are pronounced, and you learn new grammar and vocabulary. You’re probably not going to understand much at first, but you should try to write down SOME (NOT all) the vocabulary you aren’t familiar with. These are bound to come up again in the next episode or even other dramas.

There are reality Korean TV shows on Youtube. They usually put some Korean subtitles.

Lastly, listen to Korean fairy tales on Youtube. Not only are they interesting, but they put Korean subtitles as well! So, after each sentence, pause the video, read the sentence, and repeat what the narrator said (You can also do this with Korean dramas). This will help you with your pronunciation. Here are some Korean books with audio and subtitles:BOOK21선녀와 나무꾼재주 많은 다섯 형제 곰 세 마리

Learning Korean is going to be like a roller coaster but you can do it! Enjoy the process and don’t get discouraged. Don’t give up! You’re going to need confidence in yourself, and you’re going to need to be okay with making LOTS of mistakes, speaking awkwardly, forgetting vocabulary, and MORE. If you find yourself becoming discouraged because other learners are doing very good and you feek behind, don’t watch their videos and try to only watch videos of native speakers teaching Korean and giving tips. ^-^ Good luck and I hope this helps!

Annaka, babydoll, not once have I compared you to the upper realms’ goddesses - but I don’t believe I’ve ever explained to you which and in what way you freakin’ rock my world.

I figured now’s a good time as any to write it down fo’ ya.

You are the Ceto to my Phorcys - Both descendants of Gaia, the Titaness of The Earth and Pontus, Titan of The Sea.

As Phorcys It is not only fuckin’ kickass to have the red, tough skin of a crab [I might as well be his reincarnation, as shown by my fiery red hair ;)] and have the body of a fucking monster but more than that - the dopest thing ‘bout that bastard is that we are specifically in control of the hidden dangers of the sea;

‘Controlling and creating the submerged and unseen abominations that Greek sailors would come to fear.’

And I’m lookin’ it up right now but look what else they’re writin’ bout us.

‘That’s a deity and danger you would hope stays hidden in the depths.’

As true to life as can be, huh? 😏📛💔

But you, as Ceto, the steelingly ferocious and erotic goddess of the sea monsters - were the only one in the whole wide world that I could ever connect with.

To tears I felt the electrification of our fierce union, and I would eternally do anything and everything from murdering till soothing, to be able to be here through every single thing you may go through babe. I will stand by you through scorching hell or choke-full, engulfing waters over and over again.

You are Eos, Daughter of The Heavenly Light (Hyperion) and Theia (Titaness of sight and the shining light of the clear blue sky)- Goddess of the Dawn and Mother of everything within the Dusk and The Dawn ; The Bloody Gorgeous Twilight, The Winds that brought me to your side, with the simultaneous force to cause dastardly storms 👹🌪 as well as soothe us with your gentle breezes 🌬🌫🌦🌈🌤 ; You are the mother of the Evening Star 🌟 that sparkles and guides me through the darkness of my life no matter what.

You are Iris: The dance of Gravity, The Winds, Sky and Earth that grabbed my burned hands from the deadly clutches of hell and made me learn how to crash and soar into the godly paradise that is you, and life’s ethereal greatness.

The link between Heaven, Earth and Hell - The Gods and Humanity, you had the ability to defy the weighing gravity of hell’s deathly grip on me. Bring me to this other world with you.

We fought the merciless realms to be here together, and I’d do it again and again, staining my hands with the blood of our enemies, and your Honey’s nectar for you, peachcakes.

You are more than Ceto, Eos and Iris combined - You’re the wild concoction of all these wickedly tenacious goddesses, the Goddess I worship more than anything.

You are more than all of Mother Gaia’s fearsome power of life combined; You are the deep, bottomless and starry ocean of the universe to all of the scorching, scathing comets that have burned my mind and body all throughout my fucked up life.

Only you made it possible for me to learn how to breathe easier in this chaos. With you- Hah! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but.

It’s like there’s nothing I’d ever be more honored to do than let our worlds completely intertwine and ruthlessly clash, tenderly drown and thaw bit by bit and then submerge all at once into our drug addictive pomegranate love.

Fuck, I can’t even begin to explain, but you make every paradox I’ve ever fuckin’ known make sense.

I’m drunk over you, Anni, Cinnabon, Angel, Goddess dearest. In a way that’s far more blissful, sour, disastrously yet heavenly sweet, shockingly powerful and tart; Teeth Rottingly pomegranate-addictive, more powerfully raw and so much healthier and juicier than every god-awful disgusting cactus juice of a human relationship I’ve ever had to taste in the desert of my life.

I’m on my knees for you, Annaka. I can’t wait to continue to light the fire of your heart and heat it up with all the life that is within and beyond me.

Through every darned thing in this world, none will ever matter as much as you. I swear this to you by my swords’ inherent bloodthirst to deplete every fire of my life should it ever turn untrue, my Erinyes, which it never, in all of time’s existence ever will.

Sidenote ; Pf, I was dashing here and away from saying this but Anni, babe, you’re also quite similar to Hygeia and the curvaceously tantalizing Love and Sex Goddess Aphrodite herself ;)

Call me when you see this, Mwah Mwah 😻😽🔥💋❤️🌖🌑🌊🌌☄️👅💌]
