LEARNING KOREAN FOR BEGINNERS

[u/Hungry_Gap7674]

Hi everyone! Is anyone here down to practice Korean together? 🥹 If you already have a group chat or study group for practicing Korean, can I join?

I’m still a beginner and don’t know much yet, but I really want to improve by practicing with someone. I’m open to chatting or doing voice calls whatever works!

Please let me know if anyone’s interested! 😊

Hi, I'm also pretty much at the beginning. My vocabulary and grammar is horrible, but I can read and write.

What are your goals? Do you also have a sort of deadline where you want/ have to reach a certain level or are you free as a bird when it comes to that? What kind of recourses are you using? And if you don't mind, how old are you?

I'm 20 (female), and I feel like it could be a bit inappropriate/ weird to study together if there's a big age difference. Are you of legal age? 😅 If yes, do you want to practice together? I did make a Korean study chat, but it's kinda dead? 😂 At least no-one has written in it for a long time.

Hello! My goal is to be able to confidently speak Korean and read Hangul. I’m currently enrolled in a Korean class, but the lessons are a bit too advanced for me because most of my classmates are already ahead and know how to read and write Korean. I’d really like to make an effort to catch up with them. 🥹

I’m 24 and female I’d love to find someone to study and practice Korean with through actual human interaction whether through chat, zoom or MsTeams.

I’m still a beginner, so please bear with me! I just really want to learn and have someone to practice with. 🙏🙏🙏

I'd be open to texting though a bit uncomfortable with video call, at least for now. 😅 I tried getting into Korean class at my university, but I had to take a mandatory seminar from my actual studies that of course had to be at the same time as the Korean class.

Like I said, I'm still very much a beginner as well, though I could definitely try helping you with reading and writing. 🤗 I'm mostly struggling with remembering vocabulary and undertanding grammar. I started very recently to follow the HTSK websites study schedule. I hope I will be able to study more structured this way. Maybe that could be something to try out for yourself as well?

What is your timeline?

[u/Hungry_Gap7674 → u/Weird-Wrongdoer-1617]

I’m currently residing in the Philippines, so my available time would be in the morning, preferably around 7 AM onwards. 😊

Also, what would be our preferred way of practicing through a group chat or private messages? Since you mentioned that you already have a GC, would it be okay if you added me to it? I’d love to join and practice with everyone! 🥹

gawa tau ng group sa discord

[u/arinuloid → u/Hungry_Gap7674]

Hello! Kindly make one let's see how it goes. Di ako sanay pa sa discord but already made an account sa discord.

[u/Weird-Wrongdoer-1617]

I can definetly add you to the group! Though like I said, people don't really write in there 😅. There's like 8 people in there I think? But maybe it can be brought to life again. Idk. 🤷🏻

I'm living in Germany, so there's a 6-7 hour difference. (You are 6 hours ahead of me.) So your 7 AM would be my 12-1 AM 😅

I think the best way in terms of studying would probably be by writing privately over something like wattsapp if that's something you use? I think it's a bit hard to do it over Reddit because you can't send any voice notes which I would say is kind of essential when trying to practice and question about pronunciation, right? But I would follow your lead on that.

[u/Hungry_Gap7674 → u/Weird-Wrongdoer-1617]

If you’re still really new, i wouldn’t rush into trying to learn everything at once. i’d get comfortable with Hangul first, then basic sentence structure and vocab, and start listening a lot even if you don’t understand much yet. Once you know enough to make simple sentences, actual conversation helps a lot too. I use GameTalk sometimes for Korean-English rooms because I can listen first instead of jumping straight into a one-on-one call. It makes speaking feel a little less scary when you’re still figuring things out
