This article has an excellent summary on how to rapidly learn a new language within 90 days.

We can begin with studying the first 600 words. Of course chucking is an effective way to memorize words readily. Here’s a list to translate into the language you desire to learn that I grabbed from here! :)

Oh i love this concept!

I love it too! I love it mostly because it makes me feel less overwhelmed. When you break it down like this, everything seems so much more manageable. Like, hey, I could memorize 20 words at a time (even if ‘at a time’ varies wildly for me), and just do that like ten times. That’s a HUGE chunk of a language.

(And since I have the habit of doing languages that are similar to ones I’m already familiar with, the grammar part usually comes pretty easy, too.)

Learn Korean Online!

Hii guys!! I decided to make this tutorial for online Korean learning, this is a method my Korean teacher gave us, is completely free, really easy to use, and fun! Made this specially for @diaduithannah, hope you like it! 1. You must enter the page sejonghakdang.org and create an account. You can set it for it to be in english so it is easier to use.

2. Click on: Create an account

3. Once in there, click on the grey mark points so they turn blue, and click on General Membership Signup, if you want you can use the Social Media one but I was taught this method.

4. Fill in all the information and remember to select that you are a Student

5. Confirm your accont and go back to the home page

6. Once in the home page, click on Learn and Standard Curriculum

7. Go to the bottom of the page for the beginners option, if you are more advanced look for the one that suits you

8.  There will be an option bar, choose Learn.

9. A tab will open up. Click on the korean “start”, this page will give you animations, conversations, audio, explanations, and exercises for you to practice grammar and vocabulary. 

10. This is a little extra, but I would recommend for you to already know how to read Hangul (korean) in case you don’t know and you want to practice deeper the exercises, the page offers textbooks you can print. Click on search and select the option Sejong Korean Workbook in the ebook section. Choose the one that suits you. The one I pointed is for beginners and explains how to read Hangul! However I do recommend watching videos for learning Hangul as well.

Sincerely guys, this webpage is everything. It even gives you cultural lessons, it teaches you cultural traditions in Korea according to what you are seeing in the lessons! It is really fun and helps a lot. Any doubts about this web page I am all yours! Thank you! Please share if you find it helpful!

Korean Numbers, Days of the Week and Months

I just read through my blog and I realised that I haven’t written anything about numbers, days of the week or months. So this post is dedicated to those people who were like “hEy wHErE DID THE NUMBERS, DAYS OF THE WEEK AND MONTHS GO???”

NUMBERS

Numbers in Korean is actually simple; a lot simpler that English numbers tbh. The only somewhat hard ones are numbers from 1-10 and they aren’t even hard. Okay wait the other confusing thing is that there are two number systems in Korea. The Sino-Korean which derived from China and the Native Korean system deriving from Korea. I’m gonna show y’all both because we use both

NUMBER               SINO-KOREAN               KOREAN

1                             il                                       hana

2                             ee (i)                                 dul

3                             sam                                  set

4                             sa                                     net

5                             o                                       da-seot

6                             yuk                                   yeo-seot

7                             chil                                    il-gop

8                             pal                                    yeo-deol

9                             gu                                     ah-hop  

10                           ship                                  yeol

Numbers 11-19 in Sino-Korean is ship-(insert Sino-Korean number from 1-9)

Numbers 11-19 in Native Korean is yeol-(insert Native Korean number from 1-9)

Double digit numbers that end in 0

Sino-Korean: (insert number of the tens digit. e.g. in 20 the tens digit number would be 2) then add 10 to it. For example, 20 is ee(i)-ship, 30 is sam-ship. If the number is 21 then you add the word for 20 (ee-ship) with the word for 1 (il); ee-ship il.

Native Korean: There is no pattern, nor order in Native Korean, making it harder to use.

20-seumul 30-seoreun 40-maheun 50-shin 60-yesun 70-ilheun 80-yeodeun 90- aheun

For numbers like 21 you add the word for 20 (seumul) with the word for 1 (hana); seumul-hana.

DAYS OF THE WEEK

Days of the week in Korean is also REALLY EASY to learn because you only need to change one word. The name for the days of the week derive from Chinese as well.

Monday- wol-yo-il (wol meaning moon) (yo-il meaning day)

Tuesday- hwa-yo-il (hwa meaning fire)

Wednesday- su-yo-il (su meaning water)

Thrusday- mok-yo-il (mok meaning tree/wood)

Friday- geum-yo-il (geum meaning iron/metal)

Saturday- to-yo-il (to meaning dirt) (to is pronounced shortly so don’t say the name of the letter)

Sunday- il-yo-il (il meaning sun) (This il is different to the number 1)

MONTHS

Months in Korean is very, VERY easy. you add the word for the number of the month (Sino-Korean) and add wol to it. For example, January- il-wol, Feburary- ee-wol, March- sam-wol, ect all the way up to December, ship-ee wol. Can’t be easier than that. Easier to understand and learn compared to October meaning the 8th month actually being the 10th month.

bad study habits to leave in 2017

cramming the night before. do a little every day and get a good night sleep before the test

procrastinating. promise yourself you’ll do 5 minutes of a task you’ve been putting off for a while. you’ll be surprised how quickly that 5 minutes turns into 10 and 10 into an hour and before you know it you’ll be done and able to enjoy guilt-free leisure time

not asking for help. make the most of your teachers and classmates who want you to succeed. don’t suffer in silence

saying yes to everything. it’s important to try new things but it’s also important to have enough spare time to see your friends and get enough sleep

being distracted. turn off the tv. turn off your phone. focus on studying so you can get your assignments done as efficiently as possible so you can enjoy your free time

not having a planner. this doesn’t have to be a beautiful bullet journal. just make sure you have a way of keeping on top of everything you have to do so you don’t get overwhelmed whether that’s in a store-bought diary or in you phone’s calendar

eating (too much) junk. fuel your body and your mind with fruit and veg. if you’re at university try cooking in bulk to keep costs down. you’ll be able to concentrate better if you’re eating well

not taking breaks. your brain needs to take breaks, even if you have a big test coming up. for every hour you spend studying take a 10 minute break and stretch/make a snack/take a shower/call a friend 

not rewarding yourself. take time to be proud of everything you’ve achieved so far. enjoy the success you’ve worked so hard for
