𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫:  V + -(으)ㄹ 만하다 ✏️𝐔𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 - This expression is used to indicate that something is worth doing. Thus, it is mostly used to recommend something to someone. E.g. A: 이번 연휴에 어디에 가면 좋을까요? B: 설악산이 요즘 단풍이 아름다워서 가 볼 만해요. (Where should I go during this holiday? Seorak Mountain is worth visiting because the autumn leaves are beautiful these days.) ✏️ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 V + -(으)ㄹ 만하다 가다 -> 갈 말하다 (be worth going) 먹다 -> 먹을 말하다 (be worth eating/ edible) 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 V + -(으)ㄹ 만했다 가다 -> 갈 말했다 (was worth going) 먹다 -> 먹을 말했다 (was worth eating / was edible) 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 V + -(으)ㄹ 만할 것이다 가다 -> 갈 말할 것이다 (will be worth going) 먹다 -> 먹을 말할 것이다 (will be worth eating / will be edible) ✏️ 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞 - This expression is also used to indicate that while the speaker is not completely satisfied with something, it is still worth doing or paying attention to. E.g. 며칠 전에 만든 음식인데 아직 먹을 만한 것 같아요. (This food was made a few days ago, but it still seems edible.) → The food might be not as good as when it was freshly made, but still worth to try - It's often used with "아/어 보다" to form "아/어 볼 만하다" = worth to try doing something E.g. 혼자 하는 여행도 해 볼 만해요. (It is worth to try traveling alone.) ✏️ 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 1. A: 읽을 만한 책이 있으면 소개 좀 해 주세요. B: 이 책을 읽어 보세요. 배울 게 많아서 정말 읽을 만해요. (A: Please introduce me if you have any books worth reading. B: Please read this book. It's really worth reading because there's a lot to learn.) 2. 친구가 만들어 준 김치찌개가 좀 맵지만 먹을 만했어요 The kimchi stew which my friend made was spicy but worth eating. 3. A: 이 프로젝트에 수지 씨를 참여시키면 어떨까요? B: 수지 씨는 성실해서 추천할 만한 사람이에요. (A: How about we let Suzy to join this project? B: Suzy is sincere, so she is worth to recommend.) 4. 정우 씨는 믿을 만한 사람이니까 힘든 일이 있으면 부탁해 보세요. Jungwoo is trustworthy, so you can ask him to help when you have difficult tasks. 5. 일은 고생할 만한 가치가 없으니까 하지 않는 게 좋겠어요. That work is not worth the effort, so you shouldn't do it.

goals for 2024

2023 has been a very tumultuous year for me, for a variety of real-world reasons, and i wasn't able to reach a lot of my goals. in light of that, i want to list out the goals i have for 2024 and how i plan on reaching them as a way to keep myself responsible.

first of all, i have a number of language goals, where i would like to make advances in a variety of languages:

- i want to reach an hsk 6 level with my reading and writing. in order to reach this goal, i plan on reading two articles per day on dot, and two articles per week from TCB, and add terms i don't recognise to my TOFU deck, as well as write down example sentences using these vocab/grammar patterns, and go over them with my tutor. i also want to read the entirety of a cnovel in the original chinese. - i want to reach a basic level in korean and kazakh. in order to do this, i plan on completing the mango korean course, and the first two units on the kazakh course. i also plan on completing through the topik 2/a2 level on lingory for korean. - i want to work through the kurmanji textbook i've been using, and look for ways to continue learning on a more formal level, such as through online courses.

additionally, i have some other academic goals for uni i'd like to meet:

- i'd like to keep all my grades at or above 90% for my classes going forward. my biggest obstacle to this in 2023 was that i didn't want to get up early and actually go to class, instead watching the lectures afterwards from the recordings, and this made it harder for me to absorb information (since i usually take notes by hand while in class), as well as reduced my participation grade in that class. in order to do this, i plan on giving myself an 11:00 hard bedtime, at which point i have to turn off all my devices and lay down and at least try to go to sleep. also, i've chosen classes that are scheduled for later on in the day in the winter quarter, which should help with this. - i want to start utilising office hours and study aids more frequently. i've occasionally used office hours, but i've never taken advantage of study aids, and while i don't think i necessarily need them to keep my grades up, i want to have time to go over class material and make it stick more firmly in my mind.

i also have some miscellaneous goals:

- i want to look for a penpal programme aimed towards international penpal connections, specifically for a chinese penpal, because one of the things i need to do more is actually write in chinese by hand to make characters stick in my muscle memory, rather than just relying on my computer/phone to choose the right character while writing. - i want to write at least 20k of original fiction, and i'd like to plan out a novel at least at an outline level even if i don't manage to write it. - i want to be more consistent about posting language/uni updates on tumblr, as a way to keep myself accountable for being more purposeful in my studies. - i want to find student/interest clubs that are relevant to me and join them, and i'd like to be more involved with events and activities on campus.

that's everything i can think of! i hope that in 2024 i'll be able to meet these goals :)

I was searching for some grammar stuff and stumbled upon this Korean textbook (e-book) designed specifically for self-studying!

It’s from EPS (the employment permit system), which has their own Korean proficiency exam for foreign workers. The EPS-TOPIK is pretty different from the regular TOPIK, but this textbook seems like a really great resource! It starts with Hangul and then covers a whole bunch of grammar patterns while also teaching cultural stuff. There’s a lot of industry-related vocabulary and phrases because it’s designed for migrant workers in Korea, but even if those sections aren’t personally relevant, the grammar is still useful!

(I also think a lot of people don’t realize/forget that the majority of foreigners who live in Korea aren’t teaching English or working white collar office jobs; they are working in industrial factories and agriculture, often in shitty conditions. This textbook gives a glimpse into the hiring process and the kinds of situations migrant workers need to prepare for.)

Also it’s free!

TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean)

Today I took the TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) at the Korean Educational Institute. I could not sleep properly due to my anxiety about the test. I woke up at 6 a.m., did gymnastics, and washed my face. Also, at 7 a.m., I ate breakfast and headed off to the (Korean Educational) institute.

I entered the classroom. It seemed like all of the students were nervous.

In the 1st period, there was a vocabulary, grammar, and writing test. I wrote my name on the answer sheet using the marker pen, wrote down the test number, and started solving the questions. The questions, however, were not so difficult. In the 2nd period, there was the listening and reading field (of the test), but maybe since I often met with Korean people, the listening portion was very easy. Despite that, I was short on time for the reading portion. The sentences were long, and there were many words I didn't know. Regardless of any possibility, I had no confidence in the reading section.

📝 제가 배운것

So I am learning Korean as well, I am able to read and write...I understand the Hangul chart fully I mean and I have studied most of the grammar as well...and I am a bit confused on how I should move forward...Do you have any Ideas? Since you are a b1 in Korean...hehe

first i wanna say my b1 level is self-assessed. i mean, i feel pretty confident about this assesment, but i havent taken an official test or the topik yet.

i feel like moving between levels is the hardest part tbh...i felt like i hit a wall when transitioning to intermediate..but what i found helped me the most was really figuring out where i was lacking and working on that. just doing random lessons isn't helpful and i think you really need to structure your learning in a way that's super personal to you.

-for me, i know listening and speaking are my hardest areas..so i put a lot of focus on listening by listening to podcasts and watching youtube videos about things i like (makeup, skincare, kpop content with my fav groups) and use active listening..i usually watch these videos more than once too, one time without eng subs and then with to gage my initial understanding. i also take note of new vocab or grammar points. make sure with content like this though that it's just above your level. listening to things where you don't understand literally anything is not helpful. you need to be able to get the jist of what is going on even if you don't understand every single word/grammar.

-i also do tutoring once a week (sometimes twice if i have the time. i use the website preply) and we focus on my speaking and comphrension. she gives me sentence building and dictation hw too. i also ask her for regular assessments and what she thinks i can improve on. i just joined my korean language club at school so that's another way ive been exposing myself to korean and working on my speaking. i alsoooo speak out loud..anything i'd think or say to myself in english, i try to say in korean. not only does it help me get comfortable forming sentences, but it's a good way to pinpoint vocab/grammar i may not know.

-i try to make time each week to write in a diary (i used to post on here but not as often recently lol) and i also read in korean on different news sources. im slowly working my way thru 죽고 싶지만 떡볶이는 먹고 싶어 as well.

i guess tdlr; assess via a tutor, teacher, or just yourself and figure out what areas you're lacking in and build a plan around that. if you feel like you've progressed outside of just relying on textbooks, find other ways to supplement your learning like tutoring, language club, youtube/netflix, etc. exposure/immersion is key.

this was so long im so sorry but i hope this helped!!! you can message me too if you'd like!

𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫: 𝐀/𝐕-(으)ㄹ 텐데 ✏️𝐔𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 - This expression is a combination of “~(으)ㄹ 터이다” which expresses a particular future situation or intention to do something, and “~(으)ㄴ/는데” which expresses the background situation or state of affairs related to what is to follow in the sentence. As such, it is used to express an expected or intended future state or affair. - In the first clause of the sentence, a strong intention or expectation about a future event or situation is given, and in the second clause (following ~(으)ㄹ 텐데), a statement either related or contrary to the first clause is given. - This expression can be translated as "would, suppose… so/but", “it is probable that… so.” - This expression can also be used at the end of a sentence in the form -(으)ㄹ 텐데(요) ( = would, think that, suppose that). In this case, it can express the speaker's supposition or assumption about the situation being discussed. ✏️ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞: Adjective/ Verb + -았/었을 텐데 작다 --> 작았을 텐데 가다 --> 갔을 텐데 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞: Adjective/ Verb + -(으)ㄹ 텐데 바쁘다 --> 바쁠 텐데 가다 --> 갈 텐데 ✏️ 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞 - For Noun, Noun + 일 텐데 will be used. - ~(으)ㄹ 텐데(요) is tended to have the overall worry tone. Therefore, it is usually be used in situations where you afraid/worried/ that something will happen. E.g. 대출을 못 받을 텐데 (I will probably not get the loan.) Besides the expectation of not getting the loan, it also expresses the worry as “I’m afraid that I probably won’t be able to receive a loan” - Moreover, the combination of 았/었 더라면 and the ending 텐데 (요) is used to express regret about something that did or did not happen in the past. E.g. 아침에 비옷을 가져 왔더라면 비를 이렇게 안 맞았을 텐데. (If I had brought my raincoat in the morning, I wouldn't have gotten rained on like this.) 열심히 공부를 했더라면 입학시험에 합격했을 텐데요. (If I had studied hard, I would have passed the entrance exam.) ✏️ 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 1. 우유가 없을 텐데 하나만 사세요. (We probably don’t have any milk, so buy one.) 2. 퇴근시간이라서 길이 막힐 텐데요. (It's rush hour, so the road would be jammed.)

3. 날씨가 추울 텐데 따뜻하게 입고 가는 게 좋겠어요.(It's going to be cold, so you'd better dress warmly.)

4.  내일은 바쁠 텐데 다음에 만나기로 해요.(You'll probably be busy tomorrow, so let's meet next time.)

5. 지금까지 아무것도 못 먹어서 배가 많이 고플 텐데 많이 먹어.(You must be very hungry because you haven't eaten anything so far, so eat a lot.)

  ✏️ 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧  𝐀/𝐕-(으)ㄴ데 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀/𝐕-(으)ㄹ 텐데 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐬

1. A/V-(으)ㄴ데 grammar: provide background info about the current topic or introduce information following in the next clause.

(지금) 비가 오는데 우산을 가져가세요. 

It’s raining (now), please bring an umbrella with you.

2. A/V-(으)ㄹ 텐데 grammar: express an expected or intended future situation.

(오후에) 비가 올 텐데 우산을 가져가세요. 

It is supposed to rain (in the afternoon), so please take an umbrella with you.

My 2023 language goals

(A little rant about goals [feel free to skip ahead]:

If you don’t have a goal in mind, you more than likely won’t be able to learn a language. It’s important to have goals so you can work towards them… do you know how satisfying it is to see yourself fulfill a goal that you set?

However, if your goal is too extreme, you also are likely to not succeed in your target language. Maybe your goal is to become fluent in 1-2 years… and so you’ll study for a year, and you’ll see that you’re not at all fluent. You’ll probably think: “Why am I not fluent? I studied so hard to get no where near what I wanted.” But you did get somewhere, your ambitions were just too strong.

It’s important to set small and achievable goals and if you want to set a big goal like “Become fluent in _____,” don’t set a specific time frame. Allow yourself to slowly work towards the big goal. The small goals will still satisfy you while you work towards your bigger goal.)

[gretheresa]

Hey could share some tips abt learning new Lang you seem to have good grasp by now and I m willing to start Korean so maybe some advice would really help I g.

Have a grt day :))

I would love to! My advice won't be too structured so please bear with me 😭💕

New Script

First things first your target language has a different script. Since you've written your ask in English I understand that you're familiar with the Roman script. Please understand this, when you're learning a language and it has a script you're not familiar with, drop everything and familiarise yourself with the script first. A lot of students tend to develop a tendency of relying upon the script they already know to be able to read the text of their target language(hereinafter mentioned as TL). I'm in my third year of studying Japanese. Japanese has 3 scripts. Students who didn't familiarise themselves with the Japanese scripts still rely on writing the pronunciations of words in English. The learning of the Korean script is not just limited to memorising the letters, but as far as I can remember, the positions of the letters also matter. Essentially, you need to know the script like the back of your hand. Since the Korean language has gained a lot of traction in the past few years, there are now a number of apps for you to practice writing the script and provides flashcards for you to retain the script.

Gather Study Material/Make a Study Plan

If you're planning on self studying, do extensive research, on YouTube, Tumblr, find other people who are learning the same TL as you are, ask them what resources they use. As far as a beginner is concerned, most platforms provide basic learning material for free. If you need to get a basic framework or a goal to work towards, look for the proficiency test of your language and if it is conducted in your country. For Korean it would be the TOPIK test if I'm not wrong. The lowest level is 1, highest 5. Jot down the syllabus or print it. And start researching on gathering the material to cover that syllabus. This way you won't feel like you're arbitrarily studying whatever you can get your hands on. It'll give you a goal to work towards. For TOPIK level 1, I believe you'll easily find free resources online.

Understanding Sentence Structure

Grammar structure that is whether your TL is a Subject+Object+Verb(eg. Japanese, Hindi, Korean) or a Subject+Verb+Object(eg. English, Chinese). If you already happen to know a language that has the same sentence structure as your TL, take that language as your base language to learn the TL.

Input vs Output

When you're learning a new language, there's two things happening. One is Input, the other is your Output. Input would include reading and listening and output would be writing and speaking. Please understand that it might be a while before you can fluently create output. When you're starting out, a great amount of input is needed to "create" output in your TL. And by create I mean being able to create sentences in your TL as opposed to creating a sentence in your native language and then translating it to your TL. Being able to intuitively, effortlessly create sentences, or think in a new language takes a LOT of input. Think of how long it takes babies to speak because they don't have a base language from which they can translate. They gather input for such a long time before they can string two words together. So don't feel disheartened when you sit down to write something in your TL but words just won't come to you. It's fine. Put your focus into gathering a lot of input.

Kind of Input to Look For

An important thing to consider when you're in your quest for gathering input, is to gather such input as would be useful to your level of understanding of the TL. Imagine if a lawyer started talking to a baby to increase the vocab capacity of the baby. it won't work. Find materials suited to your level. If you're a beginner read children's books, watch children's cartoons. The good thing about being an adult is that we can learn faster than a baby, so naturally we might progress on to intermediate level more easily than a kid but that doesn't mean we can skip the part where we have to read kid's books.

Overcoming the Intermediate Level Boredom/Lack of Motivation

The true problem arises when we're at a lower intermediate level. So now we know more than just the basics, but not enough to be able to understand our favourite shows or read the novels or comics we'd like to read. The solution is to remind yourself again, that lower intermediate level requires reading and listening to content of that very level. This is the one place I've seen so many students give up because language does get progressively harder from here. And most people who are relying purely on studying grammar and cramming vocab from a boring list tend to feel super burnt out. The solution is to read and especially read fiction. Fiction will naturally create interest in finding out what a particular word means. I've never managed to learn vocab from a list. It's tedious, boring and I always run the risk of ending up hating my TL. So read, and always read the stories suited to your level of understanding.

Same goes for listening. Immerse yourself in podcasts, youtube channels of your TL. Again at the level that suits you. Being able to understand something in your TL gives a confidence boost and motivates you to study more to be able to understand even more complex grammar, which is why I'm focusing so much on gathering input that is suited to your level of understanding of the TL.

This got a bit too long than I had planned😅 I hope this helps. I might add something later on. I'd love it if other langblrs would like to add to this.

Learning a new language is soooo exciting but you must MUST know that it requires a tremendous amount of patience. When you're starting out and feel frustrated that you're still not able to understand movies or books in your target language, remind yourself that you're the equivalent of a 6-7 year old student when you're studying the language and be kind to yourself as you would be to a kid. I hope I was able to help you out, sending all the love for your language learning journey💕

How did you start learning Korean? I want to start but have no idea how 😅

Hi anon, I'm so glad that you do, and I want you to know that it's totally possible as long as you have a burning passion for learning the language! If you're up for it, I have a lot of points that I've attempted to put down here to help you - and anyone reading this - because all of these have immensely helped me throughout my journey in learning Korean.

An intention to learn Korean:

I think one of the most important things to keep in mind while you begin - and continue - this journey is that you have a passion for it. Treating the language and the learning process as a compulsion or a 'have to do it' mindset will only limit you, so I suggest that you don't create a routine if you're learning Korean as a hobby. Simply enjoy the process. Remember, it must always be, 'I'm learning because I want to, and not have to.'

Some people will suggest being consistent - which is indeed necessary and helpful in learning anything for that matter - but learning a language with a whole new alphabet can be challenging and discouraging when we don't see progress. People appearing for language tests like TOPIK require consistent efforts and loads of practice, but since you're just starting, I suggest you take it slow. One step at a time. One achievement at a time.

Tbh, the decision to start learning Korean was instantaneous for me. I was watching a k-drama one day (Dr. Romantic) and saw something written in Korean that I couldn't read. I remember thinking, "How cool would it be if I could read that?" and bam, I immediately went onto YouTube and learned the Korean alphabet.

As much as I emphasize taking things slow, in no way am I suggesting that you take massive breaks from learning because it will not only weaken your memory but you could also forget things that you've learned, which might lead you to feel discouraged and frustrated. Setting aside at least four hours in a week would be great for you; one day study - one day break - one day study - one day break - one day revision - one day break - one day of active recall. This is how I worked my way through it :)

First things first: The Alphabet

My number one recommendation to anyone who wants to learn Korean is the memorize the alphabet.

The Korean Alphabet is called Hangeul (한글). It constitutes 24 letters (14 consonants and 10 vowels - excluding complex/tense consonants and complex vowels which are basically a combination of the simple letters). This is how it looks:

"Pronunciations shown here are only rough approximations." This is why it is absolutely necessary to learn the alphabet first, before diving into grammar or sentence structures. Many Korean Coaches often emphasize how important it is to strengthen your basics when it comes to the Hangeul, so instead of depending on Romanizations, please spend a few days learning the Korean Alphabet first.

You're halfway through once you've accomplished this. And go slow with this too, replay pronunciations until you can repeat them perfectly, practice on a notebook with a pen - trust me, it works wonders - and keep dodging back on what you've learned.

Use this video as a reference to perfect your pronunciation and listening.

Taking the next step:

Once you've mastered the Hangeul, instead of jumping straight into language basics, I suggest you practice your reading for a few days. This could be any script that you pick up, or even signs/boards or even subtitles (if you're up for the challenge) that you can find on k-dramas or shows that you commonly watch.

The goal is not to understand what you read, it's to be able to read and perfect the ability to do so. Remember, it will take a lot of time, but it's an excellent investment and I'm sure you'll thank me later. There's nothing like the feeling of being able to read a foreign language (even if you don't understand it at this point lol).

Jumping right in:

Now that you've accomplished two things: writing and reading, you're ready to take the first leap into your journey of learning Korean. There are many ways you can do this:

TTMIK (Talk To Me In Korean) is a platform that I've made maximum use of while learning Korean. It's not only available on its own website which is talktomeinkorean.com (where you can create an account for free and begin your learning journey and also shop for books/courses that are more detailed) but also on Youtube in the form of short interactive videos and on Spotify in the form of Podcasts.

During the initial days, I was on fire for the language and would spend hours on end simply learning - listening to podcasts while I worked at home and studying the lessons in depth during sleepless nights. I'll attach a few pictures of the notes I used to make at the end of this to show you what it felt like firsthand.

You're free to purchase textbooks that teach you the language which would be awesome- but you can also find everything that you need for free on the net, so make maximum use of that. If you're up for it, buying Korean grammar textbooks from reliable sites that are dedicated to Korean Teaching Institutes would be a great idea. It's always better to have a hard copy when you're learning something for the first time, but if you can't then don't worry, you can do it all by yourself, just like I did!

Apart from TTMIK, once you start actively learning, you'll be able to do a lot of research based on what exactly you want to learn at a given point in time. For example; you could either continue learning from TTMIK until you finish all the 10 levels, but if you're interested in actually doing something with this skill, you can even choose to prepare for language tests that could even get you admission to a school/uni or a job in Korea! Of course, knowing the language isn't an absolute necessity, but interviewers (either for universities/jobs or scholarship embassies) would most likely pick you over someone who doesn't speak/understand Korean.

Please do feel free to reach out to me if you need help in any way! I'd be more than delighted to help you out. It's always good to have a fellow Korean learner that you can converse with and strengthen your skills!

Here are some pictures from my initial days learning Korean :)

I hope I could be of any help!! Lot's of love and well wishes <333
