studying + chimmy (mental support) + studying

배우기와 치미와 (정신적 지원) 배우기

~안녕~ many of you asked me how i study korean and what sources i use, so here is a small post about it :>

so first of all i learned hangul (한글) with the korean book „pons“, it’s german so I don’t know if it’s available in other languages but I don’t recommend it either so nvm. I actually used the first 10 pages and then quit it because everything after the hangul introduction was just weird...

I‘d recommend learning hangul with „howtostudykorean“, a website with over 100 free korean lessons in multiple languages. This is my main korean source they are amazing. They start at level 0 and explain everything from hangul to advanced grammar. Nevertheless they are more focused on the grammar and after a while I felt like I needed to add some everyday language to my word pool.

So I decided to add this beautiful book to my shelf:

it’s from „talk to me in korean“ and wow. this company is so sweet. I ordered this book and they accidentally sent me a wrong one. I emailed them and a few hours later (it was Christmas my friends) they wrote back, apologised, giftet me the book they accidentally sent me and shipped the right one immediately. I received it a week later with a signed card of all coworkers where they apologised again. (<3)

but back again to the book:

every chapter starts with a short dialogue and a longer one and goes on with vocab, an explanation of the grammar and pronunciation and ends with a long version of the dialogue where you can test your reading/ speaking ability. every chapter has a audio file on their website where you can listen to the dialogue to work on your listening comprehension. Its great guys 10/10 recommend. You learn so much everyday language which boosts your motivation to the max.

but I would recommend knowing the basic grammar rules of korean before using this book. otherwise it might be confusing at some points. (e.g. why does 오다 + -아도 돼 becomes 와도 돼 etc.)

Next one is the book which talk to me in korean sent me by accident.

i only worked through the first story but it’s basically a book full of short stories to embrace your reading skills. It’s kinda cute but I feel like if it wouldn’t have been a present I wouldn’t have spent money for this (crying in poor)

the last book is more a joke but it was a present and it’s funny but yeah I wanted to add it because I actually used some vocabulary of it already (it’s a vocabulary book) :‘)

the title sais it all. it’s really dirty.

so that was everything :> if you made it this far im reall proud and you can feel hugged. I hope this post could help and might motivate you to study this beautiful language <3 if so, pls let me know it would make my day ✨
