18 Fantastic Tips to Learn Korean Fast

​From: Learn Korean Fast

Learn The Korean Alphabet (Hangul)


One tip for an easy way to learn Korean is to first study the Korean
alphabet (romanized as Hangul or Hangeul).
It’s much better and more precise than Romanized Korean. Learning
Hangul will make it much easier to learn Korean faster in the long run.
It’s a fairly simple alphabet to learn. Most people can do it in one hour if they
have the correct teaching material.
The correct teaching material means having ways to connect Hangul with
the English alphabet. Most people try to brute force their Hangul learning
through memorization. This is both excessively difficult and boring.

alphabet/

Take Advantage of the Korean-English Union

There’s a special union between the Korean and the English language. Think
of it as a kind of marriage.​
A while back, Korean and English started dating and they hit it off. After
getting permission from each side of their respective families, they decided
to make it official and get married. It was a wonderful ceremony, wasn’t it?
Well, they decided to have a kid. Both Korean and English wanted to pass
on their family names, but they couldn’t agree on what to call the child.
Finally, they made a compromise and called the baby “Konglish”.
Korean + English = Konglish

Use Stories and Associations
Everyone loves a good story. If they’re interesting, they get passed down
from generation to generation and no one ever forgets them.
The same concept can help you learn Korean fast! Associations and stories
are great for remembering Korean words.

Take Advantage of Korean Word Families


The Korean language has word families. They are called “합성어
(hapseongeo)” in Korean, which means “compound word”. The compound
words share some of the same elements in their words.​

Break Down Words Into Simpler Parts


One fun way to help learn Korean words quickly is to break them down into
components. You end up learning a bunch of new words all at the same
time!

Don’t Rely on Korean Phrasebooks


If you’ve ever bought a phrasebook in a foreign language and had trouble
getting the natives to understand you, then you already know all about this.
Korean phrasebooks are full of awkward words and expressions that
Koreans don’t use. If you’re unsure of this, take a Korean to a local bookstore
and look through the phrasebooks.

Use Korean Flashcards Everyday
The one thing you can do to make sure you always get in at least a little bit of
studying each day is to use a flashcard application, such as Anki, Quizlet,
or Memrise.​
We strongly recommend going with an SRS system so you can make your
flashcards as efficient as possible. No matter how well you learn, you’ll have to
build a solid foundation of Korean words to have meaningful conversations.

Use a Little Korean Daily

No matter where you are in the world, you likely have chances to use Korean
daily. Some situations may be easier than others, but it’s always possible. You
just have to be creative!
Here are a few ideas:
Commute: If you live in Korea, make sure you engage people in Korean on
your way to and from work. This could be ordering at the cafe, asking for
your gimbap to go, asking the bus driver if the bus goes to your stop, or
greeting the people at the front desk at your workplace.
Spouse or partner: If you are dating a Korean, ask to speak in Korean as
much as possible. Express your interest in learning the langue, and make an
effort to learn at least a new word or two each time you see him or her. Your
vocabulary and speaking ability will quickly shoot up!

Screenshot Words You Don’t Know


One of the best ways to learn Korean fast is to actually use the words you’re
studying.
So, it makes sense to study the words that you’d use most often.

Enroll in a Course
If you want serious results from your Korean studies, then you need a solid plan.
There is a paradox in learning Korean. In order to learn Korean, you need to know
the language so you can choose what content to study and how to study it. In
order to know Korean, you have to learn it.​
We at 90 Day Korean feel we’ve crafted an effective program for learning Korean
quickly but there is a whole range of Korean learning programs out there, so
make sure you pick one that supports your learning goals. You can look here for a
complete guide with lessons for learning Korean online.

Get a Quality Korean Textbook


If you don’t intend to do an online or in-person course, at the very least you
should consider getting a reputable series of Korean textbooks.
Here are three popular book series:
Sogang University Korean
Yeonsei University Korean
Ganada Korean

Go to Korean Language Exchanges


A language exchange is a fun and interesting way to practice your Korean. Not
only do you get to exchange languages, but you can also exchange interesting
points about each of your respective cultures.​

KakaoTalk Chatting
KakaoTalk is the most widely used messenger application in Korea. Koreans use
it as their main means of contacting people. Phone calls and SMS messages are
rarely used anymore since KakaoTalk came into use.

Ask Around
Don’t just join a Korean language course because it has a flashy smartphone
application or because it is the first one you saw on a Google search.
Instead, figure out what has worked for other people you know. Ask friends,
participate in Facebook groups, and search on the internet. Give Korean language
programs a test drive before you enroll in them. You want to make sure that the
program fits your goals and it’s taught in a way you find interesting.

Make Studying Enjoyable for Yourself


Studying shouldn’t be all grammar and vocabulary. You need to mix in things that
will keep your language learning journey interesting so you stay motivated.
Read Korean books or comic books, watch Korean TV shows and movies, and
talk to Koreans!

Take Baby Steps


Learning a language is very similar to going on a diet or starting an exercise plan.
Many start off too big, get overwhelmed and then quit.

Get Some Accountability

One of the best ways to ensure that you learn Korean fast is to set up some count
of an accountability system.
This means having some plan in place to make sure that you continue to study
even when you don’t want to!
