오랜만이야~ 🫣

요즘 너무 바빴어! 그게 대해 말해줄게.

여행 드디어 끝났어! 집에 있어! 집을 진짜 그리웠어! 마지막으로 여기 있어 ㅎㅎㅎ

이번 주에 다이어트를 잘했어. 16-18시간 단식을 하고 있어서 보통 아침이나 저녁을 안 먹었어. 하지만 안 힘들어! 🥹

피부가 너무 안 좋아서 피부과에 갔고 치료를 시작했어요. 화이팅! 😩

오늘은 5시에 일어났어요.

아침에 커피를 준비했고 너무 맛있었어. 설탕 넣은 음료를 안 좋아해서 내 커피하고 차가 설탕를 넣은 없어요. 그리고 칼로리가 없어요. ☕️

이 여행에서 살이 쪘어서 다이어트 시작해야 해요. 😩

살을 빼려고 샐러드를 많이 막어 있고 자전거를 타고 있어. 점심으로 샐러드에 식초를 넣었어요, 그렇게 맛있는 줄 몰랐어요! 🥗

2025년 3월 31일 - 일요일

오늘은 6시에 일어났어요. 그리고 대학의 숙제 끝내고 보냈어요.

오늘은 뭐 할지 모르겠어 🤷‍♀️

점심만 먹으려고 아침밥 안 먹었어요. 나는 점심으로 흔한 브라질의 식사를 먹을 거야. 🍛

아마 하루의 나머지 시간에 대해 나중에 돌아와서 쓸 거야. 😅

Quick Funfact & tip:

Did you ever realise that different languages use different parts of the mouth/throat to make sounds? Once you realise that and identify where the sound comes from, it gets easier to learn pronunciation!

For example, English is spoken using the back of the throat— while Korean is spoken using the front of the mouth. This might explain why Korean-speakers pout so much while talking ahahah! Give it a try!

나는 Darakwon의 ‘토끼전’ 책을 읽고 있어요. 진짜 재밌어. 읽고 이해하는 기분이 좋아했어요. 한국어를 잘하게 되려고 더 책이 읽어야 해요. 📚

Free Korean Learning Courses! : Part 1

-> These are some free resources I used or heard about a lot to learn Korean and what they include, there's probably way more! I'll make more parts in the future. There's also ratings and pesonal notes about each one, but again they're 'personal' so it might not be the same for everyone! That's why you should always try it yourself first.

-> These resources are or were fully free when I used them, if anything changed and they're no longer free I do not take any responsibility for possible accidental purchases, I recommend to always check first before processing with it.

Here we go:

GoodJobKorean — Full free Hangul Course, 12 Lessons, Videos (with pronunciation, etc) + Pdf Practice sheets (with some vocabulary) + Quizes to see if you understood each lesson.

Rating: 100/10 I tried and loved it, easy to understand and explained nicely. Really useful for beginners learning hangul!

A/N: You may have to rebuy it after a month (not sure because I finished it in less then a month and never logged back in) but It's still free (if not you can always just make another account to get it free again)

GoldenKeyKorean: Free Hangul course, pronunciation + 2H long master course (advanced and basic levels) with 2 pdf books

Rating: I personally did not try this one, but I'm pretty sure it's fully free (at least that's what I've seen), but he often does limited editions/limited time special free courses so it's better to check if the offer is still active and follow his instagram for future updates and courses.

Now Korean Class: Fully free 9 Korean courses with different levels (1-9) with multiple videos for each, explains sentence structures, grammar, counters, numbers, and way more.

Rating: 100/10, It really is free, multiple levels, sooo many different things to learn I absolutely loved it!!

A/N: You just have to rebuy it after a month but I'm pretty sure it's still free (if not you can always just make another account to get it free again). I recently lost acess to it, idk why I think my phone is lagging... It tells me something went wrong to try again later, lol, just in case some content changed etc I wouldn't know.

Koldoristudy: 3 different Free Korean PDF study sheets, 1 Hangul, 1 Vocabulary and 1 winter study, includes Grammar, stroke order guides and syllable blocks,

Rating: 10/10 Loved it, I thought it would be just some pdf files to boringly write hangul/words but It's actually way more! it explains grammar and some useful language rules!

Talk to me in korean: Multiple free podcasts on different platforms + PDF with grammar and vocabulary explained for different levels of learners, 7 days free trial with possible cancelation

Rating: 9/10 It's really good, I'm just not a big fan of podcasts as I have a short attention spawn LOL. I personally didn't try the 7-days free trial but they do have LOTS of different lessons and videos that seem to be amazing and useful.

A/N: personally I find their website really confusing, to make things easier you can try things like just typing "Talk To me In korean (Pdf level _)" on google and the first link should be the free pdf file, etc etc.

Loescen Learn Korean Website: Free Interactive web-based learning, important vocabulary, pronunciation beginner to intermediate level, basic conversation courses and dialogues

Rating: 8/10, so good!! It surprised me, I just wish it went more in deep about things like sentence structures and grammar instead of blindly learning dialogue lines or words without breaking them into steps for deeper understanding of the language.

A/N: works for other languages too!!

Live Lingua: Multiple free ebooks and audio files lessons, grammar, vocabulary, hangul, etc, beginner to advanced,

Rating: 9/10 Covers up a lot of different things like I said, grammar, vocabulary, etc etc, but AGAIN each course covers many subjects and it quickly feels heavy and too long/complicated/takes too much time (personally for me, as an individual with ADHD)

How to study korean: LOTS of grammar and vocabulary, beginners to advanced, multiple lessons, linked YT videos to reinforce lessons, PDFs, etc

Rating: 100/10 explains really well, SO MUCH STUFF, different levels, it's really awesome! Lessons are available in multiple languages and not just English!! However again I find it a bit intimidating as it really has LOTS of things to learn which make it seem hard and heavy...

A/N: Personally I find the website complicated to navigate 😭 just type "how to study korean lesson _" for easier access if you want and It should be the top results

Udemy TOPIK grammar through 100 patters: TOPIK vocabulary, grammar and conversations, 100 grammatical patters koreans use a lot

Rating: 8/10 really good, well explained, but again personally it feels pretty heavy and long, videos in Korean with English subtitles, however there are no English subtitles for "example sentences" which sucks, you need to know some basic vocabulary to really understand the example sentences used there.

Tomi Korean: Free PDF with 430 basic korean vocabulary (words, verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc) with audio files, free PDF Worksheet for hangul learning

Rating: 8/0 Love it, really nice for useful vocabulary but you'll have to willingly study the words cause the pdf only makes you write it once and it's really just Korean-English translations, but it has images so its good for visual learners too! Personally I also found it takes a lot of storage to download everything lol.

A/N: I did not check the hangul worksheet as I can already write and read hangul but little personal opinion/tip; I think GoodJobKorean is the best option to learn Hangul here, specially compared to this one. Yes I did not try this Hangul Worksheet but I believe GoodJobKorean offers more variated content and help (videos, quizes, etc) than what a PDF sheet has to offer, that's my opinion.

That's all so far!

Many of these courses have social media accounts where they post different content and tricks to learn, I'll be making a post about those in the future too!!

If anything changed since I first used these resources or if there's any misinformation in this post, please let me know!

Learn Korean with Korean Children’s Shows

Many children’s media is easily accessible too, with a lot of shows officially uploaded to YouTube for free so you don’t have to hunt down resources or pay for a specific subscription or platform. They are great for beginner practice because of the easy-to-follow plots, simple dialogue, and story!

Hello Jadoo – 안녕자두야 The plot focuses on a young girl in Seoul and her antics with friends and family.

The Youtube channel Learn Korean with Jadoo is a good resource, with both Korean and English subtitles (with subtitle options for more languages too!) in short 10min episodes.

Pororo the Little Penguin – 뽀롱뽀롱 뽀로로 The most popular recent Korean children’s TV show, Pororo has hour-long episodes uploaded to YouTube for free as well; but the official channel doesn’t come with English or Korean subs so keep that in mind.

Dooly the Little Dinosaur – 아기공룡 둘리 A late 80s to 90s Korean kids’ TV show, Dooly is also an official South Korean citizen

Anpanman – 안판만 Popular children’s show about a bread superhero, it’s Japanese but still big in Korea (and dubbed in Korean), also referenced in the iconic BTS song

Pinkfong 핑크퐁 No doubt you probably know “Baby Shark”, which craze was started by the Pinkfong channel originally in Korean and then into English. They have a bunch of Korean songs and short stories on their channel.

JunyTony 주니토니 Channel about animated twin wizards with animal friends, who go on magical and musical adventures, using their spells to save the day.

yearimTV 예림TV This YouTube channel has many short stories and songs like the others, but also has a focus on traditional Korean stories.

2000+ Korean Manga/Manhwa Words

ONGOING POST:

One thing that has really helped me with learning Korean has been reading manga & manhwa. So I decided to rank most of the things I’ve fully read in terms of difficulty, and include general topics for the story / vocabulary. Difficulty will vary per person due to what they are familiar with, generally “Daily Conversation” tended to be easier, where as “Supernatural” stories were much harder. 

LINK: https://tinyurl.com/TKBWordLists

There are 3 types of word lists, 

1) FULL List: Includes every word that I looked up in order of how it showed up in the story. 

2) INCOMPLETE List: Same as Full List, but I am still updating it.

3) NECESSARY List: Just has the most important words that repeatedly came up through the story. Ideally these will all be eventually updated to full lists, but this may take a while!

THESE RATINGS ARE ALL BASED ON AN INTERMEDIATE LEVEL. 

SOME MANGA ARE “MATURE”.

Now this is an ongoing post so it will be updated with new series and word lists, but I wanted to get this started now. There are still many left blank as my note for certain series are still in the US, and I did my best to make sure that there are no typos, but if you happen to find any or have suggestions on what to add please let me know!
