to start off you need to



Disclaimer: I am not fluent and I'm currently studying for TOPIK exam. I hope these tips and materials will help you too

1. Korean alphabet
I think this is self-explanatory. You have to study νκΈ if you are a beginner. There are a lot of materials and youtube videos which can help you with this. Practice the sounds by listening to natives.
here is a worksheet I used https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-5YLcq4mpU1EWrBJ_2U9PCQ8KEB61b5G/view?usp=drivesdk

2. Korean Grammar
It is quite complicated and different from English. But don't be scared, there is nothing impossible.
Tip: learn a grammar form and write your own sentences, use Hello Talk for checking whether they are right.

5. Vocabulary 
categorize! start off with your house, learn all the words for different objects that surround you i.e TV, shelf, bed, etc. once you learn that category move on to your family, hobby, sports, etc.
practice, practice, practice! use them in your speech



Song lyrics 
write down the lyrics of your favorite Korean songs, translate and learn the words you don't know. It is again a good method to enrich your vocab! I mean who doesn't want to be able to sing along?






Short Stories 
there are some short stories you can read out loud, translate and retell.
memorize some good sentences or phases. it's all about memorizing 
try not to translate everything, stick to Korean more

extra tips:
sometimes not everything will make sense. don't give up! Try to memorize it and move on. Believe me later, you'll use it naturally in your speech
surround yourself with Korean as much as you can i.e. change your phone language to Korean




at first you'll find it very intimidating but it's not that complicated at all! learn about the difference of μ‘΄λλ§ and λ°λ§, about how and with whom to use them! watch videos on YT

7. Speaking 
this is perhaps the hardest point. But no worries.
if you have Korean friends talk with them! you're really lucky! practice your knowledge.
film yourself while talking
talk to yourself out loud
talk, talk, talk

this is perhaps the hardest point. But no worries.



talk, talk, talk


and....


in the end I want to remind you
nothing is impossible! You can do it, just like others could do it. It's all about enjoying the process, learning should be fun!
try to stay motivated and don't lose your perseverance.
it takes time. one step at a time
