how i’m beginning to study korean

i’m planning to study abroad next year in seoul, and with quarantine happening, i figured it would be a helpful little pass time to learn some basics of korean. i’m an EXTREME beginner. hopefully this helps other beginners who see korean langblrs and have no idea where to start!! 

my materials:

some fun pens and pencils

a grammar notebook - i put the alphabet, vocab, grammar into this. its like i’m building a textbook i guess? i also write down my sources too so i can easily look back

a practice notebook (this one is a sketch book with no lines!) - i used this to practice the alphabet, write a few sentences, and simply scribble. one messy and one clean notebook

my laptop

earbuds

my sources:

how i learned hangul: korean unnie has a great little series on learning all the letters + a lot of other videos 

how to study korean - this site is from a foreigner and a native, with a great mix of vocab and grammar (the site i’m using the most rn)

@a-pop-of-korean‘s masterlist is also a really nice starting point, she’s got a TON of info

@patrooocle has short and sweet korean words of the day for your dash! sometimes reminds me to study lol

i haven’t used it yet but talk to me in korean has SO MUCH - free and paid lessons, plus you can buy physical workbooks

there are so many youtubers !! usually i will type in like “korean numbers” or smth to find some videos of vocab etc

some apps:

lingodeer* - duolingo but BETTER

memrise - better than duolingo but $$$

infinite korean - a lil vocab game! 

papago (SO MUCH BETTER THAN GOOGLE TRANSLATE)

quizlet - virtual flashcards! use others or make your own

spoon radio* - talk shows in korean

naver dictionary - self explanatory

*i haven’t used all these apps, but i’ve had them recommended to me

also be mindful of langblrs as a lot of them are foreigners learning the language as well. they have a ton of info but take everything with a grain of salt as things might not be 100% correct. as long as you are using multiple resources you’ll be fine!

if you have any helpful resources that you can’t live without, let me know! i’m always on the hunt for more and i will def update this list too.

Another thing I love in fiction is when dialogue immediately echoes the same phrasing used in the narration. It can be startling and funny.

Ex.:

As they made their way back to the car, Farad felt the prickle of eyes upon him. He looked around and spotted the culprits—perched on the roof of a van, a gaggle of dour-faced teenagers was watching them judgmentally.

“Don’t look now,” he whispered to his companion, “But a gaggle of dour-faced teenagers is watching us judgementally.”

5 things I’ve learned along my writing journey

Choose your teachers wisely. Nowadays everyone and their mother wants to give you writing advice. Don’t get me wrong, usually, you will encounter so many beautiful people who are teaching some good stuff. However, there’s also a lot of bro-science. So take it with a grain of salt.

Every writing rule can be broken if you’re brave enough. Rules are great, and they definitely are important. They create a blueprint for your novel. But at the same time, you are the author of your story, and you have to do certain things intuitively. Writing rules are awesome, but the moment they start to block your imagination, the moment they start to stifle your creativity, well, this is the moment when you should ask yourself, ‘Is this really the truth? Can I modify this rule?’ Want some encouragement? Let’s listen to Albert Einstein “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”

You are always your biggest critic. Stop blaming yourself for every little typo, grammar mistake, or roadblock you encounter. Writing is a never-ending learning process. Yes, you will become better, but it does not mean that your writing sucks now. Your writing develops when you work on yourself. Learn how to appreciate your writing style. Why? Because it is YOUR  writing style. There’s no other human being like you on this planet, so give yourself a big pat on the back, you’re doing well.

Clichés are okay, so don’t be afraid of them. Nothing is too cliché if you know how to use your creative imagination. You can turn cliché into something new, you can add a fresh perspective. Enemies to lovers? Having a wise mentor? A hero who always wins? Let me tell you something, people need clichés, people love clichés. Whenever a reader buys a book, he or she has expectations. And these expectations are based on the other books this person has already read. So if you are too innovative, guess what, people will be like, ‘It’s not similar to 253634436 romances I’ve read, so I’m not sure if I like it.’

It’s okay to write in multiple genres. You don’t have to label yourself. You don’t have to be like, ‘I’m a writer of this one genre till the end of my life’. Why would you dictate your imagination any limits? Let her work, let her express anything she wants. I write fiction and nonfiction, and at the beginning, I was like ‘whaaat’, but right now I see that it is working perfectly. My fiction writing allows me to express myself, and my nonfiction writing helps other people. That’s really a win-win situation. So don’t think that you can’t be a fantasy writer and let’s say ‘how to create passive income’ writer, or a marketing writer, etc. As long as you write, you are a writer.

Okay question time for those of you who are non-native English speakers:

Do you mentally read numbers after English letters in English or in your native language?

For example, the band NCT127 is not NCT one two seven but rather NCT หนึ่งสองเจ็ด, and The1975 is Theหนึ่งเก้าเจ็ดห้า

And for the sakes of better understanding since my native language doesnt use Latin alphabet: like, is NCT127 'NCT one two seven' or 'NCT uno dos siete' for you guys?

Reply or reblog with your native lang + how you read them lmao
