I decided to start a Korean learning series on YouTube. The idea was that it would sort of chronicle my learning experience, organize it, and help me to reinforce what I’ve learned so far while also giving me opportunity to practice speaking Korean.
I feel so alone being the only one in my life even remotely interested in Korea.
There’s more videos to come in the future (some have already been made). Check the video’s description for relevant information and links for further learning.
I’m using my decks on TinyCards to go along with the series as well: tiny.cards/users/figbeater

    Awesome! Your pronunciation seems really good!

    Thanks @Eden, this is amazing! And your lowkey acting, so cute, hee! I’m so happy to realize that I recognize quite a lot of common sentences, I’m going to watch this on a loop and do the thing with google translator, never ocurred to me, also, thanks for the cards! My reading is slowly improving, so I’ll surely use them for practicing

      Awesome! I’m glad you found it useful. Some of these phrases I wish I knew when I first started learning because I couldn’t get them to come up on google translate. For instance, 좋다 (joh-da). That one took me forever to realize what they were saying in those instances when the weather was nice or they felt good.

        I’ve been using lingodeer! It’s all game based and it’s actually quite addictive, when I’m bored I just cram in a 5 minutes practice or a grammar revision. I like it that it works on a building blocks logic: it feeds you gradually words and grammar structures and combines them in different ways, so that you don’t forget past lessons and manipulate the language instead of repeating the same sentences over and over again… But LD has two obvious limitations for me: oral practice and reading practice, so your materials and GT suggestion are really useful to me, thanks!

          I’ve heard of LingoDeer before but I could’ve sworn it wasn’t free. Now it looks like it is? Or is only some content free? It seems like a good way to hear pronunciation and test your learning progress. Duolingo is very similar.

            LD has a subscription fee, I chose 40 USD/year. Yes, you get to hear a lot of the language -syllables, words, sentences, short videos- and, as I said, it’s all about short games. You get to test your knowledge after every 4 or 5 lessons, but you can choose practice tests and vocabulary/grammar revisions too whenever you want… I don’t think you can get to be fluent by using this method (or any other that doesn’t envolve having frequent contact with another fluent speaker – as in language classes or going to Korea, *wink*), but it’s a very cost- and time-effective way to get the basics
