I speak Polish, German, Swedish and English. 3 of them are Germanic languages so they were easy to learn because they are so closely related. Polish and German I learned as a child so it was kind of automatic.
Now I have to learn Korean and struggle so much! After 3 months I have learned about 100 words. Any tips how to get to the first 1000 words Ina reasonable time? Especially in a language where none of the words seem to resamle anything from my previous languages.
My native language is Cantonese. Our education system has English in the syllabus. I did think I was good at it, until I became REALLY good at it after consuming English YouTube videos for an amount of time.
If you use it frequently enough, you will be good at it.
Don’t know if the same applies for Korean, as the Internet is a very English-centered place.
Yeah, so my question is actually, how do you get to the point where you can consume content in that language? I’m trying to watch videos for babies and struggle to understand it, besides the point that it is so boring that I don’t want to do it :D
It’s the basic English from school. I see you have started learning Korean for some time, so I just assumed you could. Sorry about that.
As for the content part, maybe try TV shows? Some are pretty interesting. If possible, turn on subtitles as well.
And if it’s still boring, don’t stress yourself out. Take breaks and do it slowly
