My children learned English the same way as I did. It served my first three sons when enlisting in the military... I want to learn Korean. Who knows the future.

    I'm korean-american and a year ago, I found this video. My mother is korean and my father is american. Although I was half korean, I never got to learn the language because when I was 3, we left Korea and started living in the states. Every 6 months we'd go to Korea to visit my grandparents but I wasn't really close with my relatives there since there's a language barrier between us, so often when I want to speak to them, I would use translators or have my mother translate words for me since my korean relatives know limited english and the only korean words I knew were 엄마, 할머니, other endearments and basic greetings. When we went back to america, I told my mother that I wanted to learn, she said she'd help me but due to her work she never had the time to do so. I came across this video and ever since then I started learning more and more. This video was literally my stepping stone. When we returned in Korea, my relatives were so happy that we can communicate better. Truly grateful for this, and to everyone who's learning, never give up

    I used to try to learn Korean in 2020, but I gave up since I lost motivation and thought it was abit hard.. at that time, I didn’t think about learning the alphabet first, but I definitely recommend learning it first. And I’m not sure why but, 5 days ago, I started learning Korean again!! (Nov 13) and I have already memorized the whole alphabet. I thought it would be hard, but no actually it really isn’t.. as long as you actually believe in yourself and never give up! Honestly, here’s a tip on how to stop yourself from giving up.. just learn it in a fun way and think about the things you wanna do when you know Korean🤭 I BELIEVE IN YOU GUYSSS, DONT GIVE UP

    •2 - it’s interesting, I’m from Russia , and I think 한글 (Hangul) is maybe easier then Cyrillic alphabet
    •3 - to understand K-dramas without subtitles
    •4 - to understand my Korean friends because they sometimes talk in Korean
    •5 - really... to understand K-pop lyrics

I have been learning Korean for a year and it's still pretty hard to rememebr all the sound change rules. For example 읽다, 읽어, 읽는 all sound completley differnt. Also it takes years to memorize enough vocabulary and grammar to speak fluently.

    Can I just say that Kpop idols literally learn English so they can communicate with their fans and promote their group. I feel like it’s nice/respectful of us (fans) to learn their language as well. Like honestly every other country knows English (it’s ONE OF the most spoken languages after all), so I feel like we need to learn other languages too in return.
    Edit: I am aware that English is not the most spoken language. My apologies. That isn’t my point so pls ignore that from now on.

I’m not saying that every single person needs to learn Korean. It’s okay if people don’t want to. I just thought it’d be respectful since they learn English so they could talk to their fans, why don’t we learn Korean (if we wanted) so we could talk to them in their native language. ^^ I mean when you travel to different countries, it’s nice to know some simple phrases and shows that you’re interested in their culture.

    This is my first day learning Korean, 18-NOV-2023. My passion started when I saw an ig video earlier today of a Korean girl translating the words I know into Korean which made it so interesting to start learning the language. I entered this video as my initial way to start studying a new language and I cannot believe how perfectly he explained every letter, the pronunciation of it and how to put it in syllables. This video made reading and writing Hangul so much easier than I thought and made me love this language and look forward to studying more!! ❤
    I cannot wait to come back and write my progression on it. And for the people who do want to learn but are hesitant take this rule: " NEVER SAY ONE DAY BUT SAY DAY ONE "

      I taught myself to read Korean in a few hours, or so I thought. However, when I tried to show off to a Korean friend of mine, I quickly found that there was more to learn. I learned that the way you pronounce THE SAME SYMBOL changes depending on ??? Now, I'm sure that if I had asked for help, I would have eventually been able to read, but I didn't do that. I was so disgusted with what had been touted as a perfect system that I just gave up and never tried again. I could try again, but I don't live in Korea anymore, so there would be no point. I had no such problem with Hirakana. Again, I taught it to myself in a few hours, but the result was different than with Hangul. With Hirakana, I was able to use it correctly and usefully my entire stay in Japan. That was over fifty years ago, and I still remember it. Sure, it would take me a few minutes to get up to speed, but not as long as an hour. It's that easy. Katakana was a different story. I found its characters were too difficult to learn because they looked too much alike. Another thing is that its usage is so limited, that it's just not necessary to learn. So I didn't take the time. Arabic seems impossible
