I have a little side tip. It’s simple. Make sure to actually study, distance yourself from your smart phone for an hour or two, and let your brain get a feel for korean.
You need your phone though to listen to Korean audio if you aren't in Korea.I get what you said though so like if you were in Korea or a place with lots of Korean speakers a smart phone would be the best.
The tip about not copying everything you see in a textbook is so important. I used to do it with Genki, and it was so time consuming (and unnecessary). That time could've been put into making flashcards on Anki. Luckily, I realized it wasn't a good idea to do that by lesson 3. Better late than never, I guess.
I have the beginner version of this book and it's totally amazing! It teaches you how Korean sentences are formed and then conjugating verbs and adjectives. What I also really like about this book is that it has colors and illustrations unlike other textbooks that only have full texts which are too overwhelming to read. The old ver. of this book has Audio cd but as for me, I have the new version which doesn't include the cd but allows you to download audio files from their website.
Btw, if you're completely new to Korean and want to use the beginner ver. of this book, learn to read and write Hangul first because this book only focuses on grammar. Good luck!
To those who like writing in pen but hate having cross-outs, I recommend to try Frixion Ball erasable pens--they come in two different sizes and lots of colors, and are higher quality than any other erasable pens I've tried. I make loooots of mistakes while writing so simply being able to erase and end up with notes that don't look like a disaster zone is encouraging. :)
Im learning Korean right now in University. Its a condensed CONDENSED course. So we are supposed to know basic Korean in 11 weeks. Even though we are given resources, its super easy to fall behind. My prof is native Korean, has her PhD in English studies (We are in Canada) so sometimes when she is explaining things, its something we don't know/havent learnt, but she forgets that, because its such a simple concept ( like 이에요 / 여요 ) and we always have to be like WAIT !!! SLOW WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE AND WHEN DO WE USE IT?!?! :P So videos like this, and other resources REALLY help. so thank you (:
I asked a couple weeks ago on the korean language learning subreddit and everyone was pretty much responded like its such basic knowledge. made me feel bad for trying to learn..
한국어 배우시는것 응원합니다! 한국인으로써 기분이 좋네요 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Hello! I'm so happy to see you! I hope that you can learn and use korean as soon as possible. And please visit Korea! Maybe most korean will like you!
I highly suggest you read your syllabus and read ahead. If you know what's going to be taught in the lesson and try and read up on it beforehand it will be easier in class. Also remember if it's your course you should be putting at least 6 additional learning hours per week into it. I'm doing Chinese at university and I spend 3 hours reviewing grammar points and 4 hours getting vocabulary down.
@@J_young_824 The grammar books and accompanying workbooks from TTMIK (Talk to me in Korean) Start with the TTMIK book and workbook Level 1; you can find them on amazon or talktomeinkorean.com ^^ I use them as well and they are the best♡
OMG. Being a perfectionist about my writing is SO ME! I have literally torn pages out of my language notebook because it looked sloppy to me or I wrote a word wrong and I wanted it to look perfect! LOL!
You have some great tips! I just started reviewing my Korean textbook. I love to color code as well! Something new I learned from you is to not be perfectionist because I I’ll literately rewrite my notes if I’m not satisfied with the aesthetics or handwriting.
I've just ordered this book for a main study resource, and am excited to start! I've been studying Korean for a while, but am intent on reaching an advanced level. Thank you for your great tips, and happy studying!
Hey Lindie! I'm trying to study Korean out of my own personal interest in the culture/language, and because I plan on studying abroad in South Korea as often as I can when I get into college. Right now, I am starting my senior year in high school, but I self-study Korean in my spare time. I am very studious and I wanted to know how you keep all of your notebooks organized? For example, grammar, vocabulary, practice notebooks, etc. I still have a hard time pronouncing Hangul, but I write more than I actually speak. As a beginner to the language, what would you recommend I study after Hangul? I was looking at my Korean books (I use a lot of Korean books from Tuttle, like: Korean Grammar, Korean For Beginners, and Korean Flash Cards [+ Korean Verbs (with their conjugations) soon]) and my mind got overwhelmed with reading Korean and all the terms they used, such as particles, infinitives, etc. I know I should take it step by step but I get stressed/overwhelmed easily with the explanations and words. I'm sure I have a lot more questions, but I don't want this comment to be too long. I love watching your videos! ♡
안녕하세요 잉그리드 입니다 😊. I am also planning on studying at SK but I'm already in college. I am a beginner too. I am studying grammar and practical vocabulary that I will use. You know, things I use in daily use AND words related to my major. This is important. I am a violinist so I am learning Music related vocabulary and that even makes it more fun 😊
I actually printed the book (don't judge... It would be a fortune and it would take decades to get it all the way to Mozambique). I am guilty of copying EVERY single word... I knew no better. In the end, that doesn't make you remember stuff... I hardly remember anything I wrote and I never made the effort to write my own sentences. I wasted so much time... :( Thank you for your great tips!
I'm Mozambican. I wish there were more African people learning korean or if there was an actual Korean language centre in the country so we could practice more :'(
@@denimili7659 dá uma olhada no face na pagina coreano para brasileiros, vê o blog coreano passo a passo e o coreano haru haru. Tem bastante materiais de coreano em português.
Thankyou for those amazing tips! I'm trying to get better in talking and reading korean to get a internship there. So, I'm so happy that you made a video about how you learn and what greats ways to learn are❤️
Pastel Peach same. I found the book in google. I have question. Do you take notes from the pdf book or you just study grammar from pdf book without taking notes?
Thank you for this vid! I use the beginner version of this book, which I really like. I'm also a fan of colors though I may not use them as efficiently as you do. I may be inspired by the way you take notes from now on!
I admire your dedication and congrats on achieving your goal of learning multiple languages. I looked the book up and the purple book is for advanced, the beginners book has yellow color.
Audio. I benefit a lot from audio that comes with the book. To me, it is a perfect way to review grammar points when, for example, I am on a train or bus and I just listen to example sentences (review grammar points and any new vocabulary). And grammar explanation in Korean. I completely agree that reading grammar explanation in Korean helps a lot, I do it myself, it is at the back of the book. I even went back to the elementary book to read Korean explanation there as a review.
My grammar notebooks are very simple compared to yours. It means I'm risking learning some incorrect usages, but if I took the time that you do, I would quickly lose interest in using a notebook at all. Mine are actually pocket-sized (and water resistant, made by a company called Rite in the Rain) so that I can take them on walks and hikes, where I make up my own sentences aloud. As I learn more grammar and vocabulary (especially vocabulary targeted to my hobbies and lifestyle), I'm able to express more and more of my own ideas aloud until I find myself talking to myself in my target language fairly easily, and only translating from English when I try to say a sentence which contains grammar or vocabulary I've only half-learned. For me, the most important thing about a notebook is to keep using it (i.e. review), not just fill it up and put it away. However, I'm sure if I did it your way, my Korean and Japanese would sound more correct and natural to a native speaker. So, of course, your tips are good. Everyone should at least consider them. Thanks for sharing them.
Hello my teacher! I am Daro. I'm so happy that studied with you and thank you so much. Also I want to look your videos more study with you my teacher!!!!
Picking resources and materials and study methods and note taking methods and planners and journals etc is so stressful. I need to just pick something and do it 😭
Hi! I started using Talk to me in korean as a reference to study korean language. Well... it helped me but I think the book is not in order? I guess and found a soft copy of this book the korean grammar in use and found it to be organized, likable and easy to understand so I'm buying it. The problem here is now I am overwhelmed of which reference should I use? The old book that I bought that found it confusing or the new book that found it easy to understand? I think I just wasted a lot of money in these books that's why I don't know where to start.
Update: left the level 2 ttmik and just studied this book. I am almost done and learned a lot!!! It was a wonderful experience to study in this book will be buying the intermediate! And advanced!!

우와! 지금 저는 한국말을 공부하고 있었어요! 고마워요 :) This video was uploaded as I'm studying Korean right now! haha I studied Korean in university for 2 years, and after that I didn't have a chance to get back to it for years and years (I just listened to Korean music and had interactions with Korean people occasionally). But recently I bought one textbook and started studying it again. It feels so nice to get back to it because I love learning languages and actually I wasn't forgetting Korean too much. Listening to Korean and some interactions with Korean people seemed to help me maintain the basics at least haha Hope I'll be able to write all these things in Korean in the future 😅
Hi, recently I've been seeing your videos.. great tips and recomendations. I'm studing Korean by myself for 4 months . It had been really amazing thanks to all the materials all of you 've giving to us. I want to ask you: how you improve your speaking?.. In my case I can write much better than I can speak, the words seems like desapear flying off out of my mind when I need to speak. I really need to find a method. Sorry for the long message.😊
I can read and understand a little, write a slowly but I can't speak confidently because I am very poor in listening and grammar. Sometimes, I feel very frustrated and lost motivation. I just do self-study because I cannot go to school. I use other type of book. I am a slow learner so it will take long time.
Hi Lindie! First of all I love ur vids not just because they're useful but there is also some sort of charming energy on them. ❤️ My question is this one; as a self learner, when u are face to face with the book one can start to write down any sentence and try to follow what is on the book but when or how have u gotten the feedback? I mean, where do u get that 'teacherlike' part that tells u if right or wrong? Maybe what I'm trying to say is how to guide ur self? It would be very helpful if u would read this comment! Thank you very much!
wow!! would you mind if i'll ask how many years you study hangeul to be that fluent? i'm amazed.. even your notes are all written in korean charcters and the books you're using. u inspired me. 😍
I'm glad I found this video 😭 I was extremely frustrated and I kept tearing pages even though I just started... Thanks... I'm going to try again for the start without being a perfectionist
I have been learning for almost 10 years now. I don't break up my studying into separating reading, writing, listening or speaking. It's best to practice them together!
I'm pretty sure learning Spanish is more important for me to learn right now, but I really want to learn Korean. How can I get myself more motivated to learn Spanish before I jump into Korean?
If I want to study Korean, but yet to startup, just I have a question, how is a Korean keyboard on a tablet/phone or laptop compares to a Japanese or Chinese keyboard...?
i started using this book but i'm a little disappointed in the jump in difficulty from the first book. it uses grammar that comes later in the book in the example sentences which is really disappointing and makes me feel like i can't really use it... :/
Hello. In my country there is no book in my language and it is very expensive. I found the pdf on the internet, but it doesn't have the answers at the end. Would you or someone who has this book, could take a picture and save to google drive and share the link. I would like to correct the exercises that I answered in the book. Thanks ^^
Hi Lindie. I have a question about using KGIU for TOPIK II exam. Do you think the KGIU series is useful for TOPIK II preparation? I have to get at least 5급 and from where I'm from, there are no TOPIK books sold at all and no 한국어 학원 too ㅠㅠ Plus due to this ongoing pandemic, Amazon etc don't ship them here ㅠㅠ Hope you notice this comment and thank you in advance for your kind reply ^^
I know this is not the right video to ask this question but I desperately need an answer... I would like to learn both Traditional Mandarin and Japanese but I don't know which one to start studying first... I really like both languages and the cultures of the countries equally so I am torn between them... I want to do this right though, not just learn a couple of words and call it a day. I would like to build a strong Hanzi and Kanji foundation, so which one of them is better to start with in order to do that? Difficulty is not an issue for me since I am doing this for fun, not because I have to. I cannot think of a better person to answer this question than you who has learned both of them. Finally, do you like Chinese or Japanese more and why? Thank you in advance!
I can talk from my own experience only. I started to learn Japanese some years ago and I didn't plan to learn Chinese so soon. Actually I wanted to learn Korean but I got the opportunity to join a Chinese evening class last year. First the Japanese grammar is so complicated that you cannot make full sentences and express yourself until you've accumulated a certain amount of sentence structures (not to mention vocabulary) and the way Japanese expresses some concepts can be a little confusing sometimes. This is a bit discouraging at the beginning. I felt that Chinese grammar was way easier. I could make simple sentences after a few lessons only. Then, Hanzi have only one pronunciation so it's easier to remember them as compared to kanji and their multiple pronunciations. Learning Chinese now helps me strengthen my knowledge about the Japanese kanji. I'm not sure I would have learned Japanese if I had learned Chinese before because I might have felt that it is too complicated. I guess that if you learn Chinese first, it will help you to learn the Japanese kanji quickly because you will already know the meaning of most of them. It won't help you for the grammar part nor for the pronunciation (but Japanese pronunciation is easy). Whatever you decide, I would advise you to feel comfortable enough in one language before starting the second one. And now, I would also love to hear Lindie's opinion and tips!
Thank you for the reply. I don't mind if a language is difficult, I am willing to put the effort needed to learn it but I want to do it right. Since these are languages that require a long period of time to master I need to choose the most efficient way and begin from the language which will make my transition to the second language easier. I have 0 experience with asian languages though which makes this decision even harder... Not to mention that there is not a single forum where I can find a definite answer...
i'm working in gorvernment as office worker for south korea and native korean and 29 years old. i want to learn english and exchange language with american. give me a message
Hey Lindie! Im currently actively studying Japanese and Korean (my main focus is Korean) and I dont really know if Ive been making progress or not. Ive been using Duolingo and passing the levels, but I just forget them. How do I make these rules and exercises stick?
Bangtan.Chicken Do them ove again until you remember the structure but tbh I don’t think it’s that good because it doesn’t really explain anything so there’s nothing to remember ( unless you want to be remembering full sentences)
Use what you learn just passing the levels won't do it for everyone. Try to use and pick up what you learned by reading and listening. Even if you can't understand like 90% of what they are saying try to pick up the stuff you learned.
Sofia Summer yes I think you should learn that first since it's how the word sounds it doesn't make much sense to learn words and grammar but then you can't read the language not even a little .
What I do with my book is I highlight the important things and make notes on that. Then I do the example sentences in blue. And I also do the activities. Some are harder than others, but I try and do them without looking at the answers.

The tip about not copying everything you see in a textbook is so important. I used to do it with Genki, and it was so time consuming (and unnecessary). That time could've been put into making flashcards on Anki. Luckily, I realized it wasn't a good idea to do that by lesson 3. Better late than never, I guess.
I'm making this mistake, I'm still trying to figure out what's the most important to write down, I should chill.
I have the beginner version of this book and it's totally amazing! It teaches you how Korean sentences are formed and then conjugating verbs and adjectives. What I also really like about this book is that it has colors and illustrations unlike other textbooks that only have full texts which are too overwhelming to read. The old ver. of this book has Audio cd but as for me, I have the new version which doesn't include the cd but allows you to download audio files from their website.

Lmao
It is very helpful but please do something with the lighting..
Make the same video but about Japanese please! :)

How months did you learn writing, reading and speaking korean ?
I have been learning for almost 10 years now. I don't break up my studying into separating reading, writing, listening or speaking. It's best to practice them together!
@@LindieBotes wooow😱
, You're awesome! 😄💪You are one of my motivation in learning Korean 😊. 감사합니다❤ Take care 😄
@@rej3817 All the best!!
There are no English subtitles anymore :(
I'm pretty sure learning Spanish is more important for me to learn right now, but I really want to learn Korean. How can I get myself more motivated to learn Spanish before I jump into Korean?
Hi Lindie, may i ask which is better korean grammar in use or TTMIK Q&A sentence pattern? thank you in advance! 😘
this is very good book but how can we understand it difficult for non korean people is there any vadio lecture available for this book
please make more videos on japanese
When you are studying, do you choose a random grammar point or do you follow a specific order?
Do you have a on your stationary items? Like notebooks, pens, pencils... that sort of thing? If not I would love to see one !💕💕
Celestine Cortez I've just uploaded one about the stationery I bought in Taiwan!
Lindie Botes thank you! I just finished watching it ! Loved it!
I know this comment is 4 years ago, but here's a list of all the stationery I use! www.amazon.com/shop/lindiebotes/list/CQ5XAFWDBYAW
How you Video Editing?
If I want to study Korean, but yet to startup, just I have a question, how is a Korean keyboard on a tablet/phone or laptop compares to a Japanese or Chinese keyboard...?
"지금 구경해 볼까요? > "Now, shall we watch it."
I haven't dared start this book yet. I finished the beginner book. But I honestly feel like I know so little :(
i started using this book but i'm a little disappointed in the jump in difficulty from the first book. it uses grammar that comes later in the book in the example sentences which is really disappointing and makes me feel like i can't really use it... :/
Does it have a CD which is good for listening?
And does it include all intermediate grammar or not?
Hi Lindie.. Did you learn korean by yourself only? Having textbooks alone?
Hello. In my country there is no book in my language and it is very expensive. I found the pdf on the internet, but it doesn't have the answers at the end.
Would you or someone who has this book, could take a picture and save to google drive and share the link.
I would like to correct the exercises that I answered in the book.
Thanks ^^
Hi Lindie. I have a question about using KGIU for TOPIK II exam. Do you think the KGIU series is useful for TOPIK II preparation? I have to get at least 5급 and from where I'm from, there are no TOPIK books sold at all and no 한국어 학원 too ㅠㅠ Plus due to this ongoing pandemic, Amazon etc don't ship them here ㅠㅠ
Hope you notice this comment and thank you in advance for your kind reply ^^
Hi which book you recommend to about english grammar ?
Man it's so frustrating that there's no subtitles now. Looks like they got deleted 4+ months ago from another comment.
I know this is not the right video to ask this question but I desperately need an answer... I would like to learn both Traditional Mandarin and Japanese but I don't know which one to start studying first... I really like both languages and the cultures of the countries equally so I am torn between them... I want to do this right though, not just learn a couple of words and call it a day. I would like to build a strong Hanzi and Kanji foundation, so which one of them is better to start with in order to do that? Difficulty is not an issue for me since I am doing this for fun, not because I have to. I cannot think of a better person to answer this question than you who has learned both of them. Finally, do you like Chinese or Japanese more and why?
Thank you in advance!
I can talk from my own experience only. I started to learn Japanese some years ago and I didn't plan to learn Chinese so soon. Actually I wanted to learn Korean but I got the opportunity to join a Chinese evening class last year. First the Japanese grammar is so complicated that you cannot make full sentences and express yourself until you've accumulated a certain amount of sentence structures (not to mention vocabulary) and the way Japanese expresses some concepts can be a little confusing sometimes. This is a bit discouraging at the beginning. I felt that Chinese grammar was way easier. I could make simple sentences after a few lessons only. Then, Hanzi have only one pronunciation so it's easier to remember them as compared to kanji and their multiple pronunciations. Learning Chinese now helps me strengthen my knowledge about the Japanese kanji. I'm not sure I would have learned Japanese if I had learned Chinese before because I might have felt that it is too complicated.
I guess that if you learn Chinese first, it will help you to learn the Japanese kanji quickly because you will already know the meaning of most of them. It won't help you for the grammar part nor for the pronunciation (but Japanese pronunciation is easy).
Whatever you decide, I would advise you to feel comfortable enough in one language before starting the second one.
And now, I would also love to hear Lindie's opinion and tips!
Thank you for the reply. I don't mind if a language is difficult, I am willing to put the effort needed to learn it but I want to do it right. Since these are languages that require a long period of time to master I need to choose the most efficient way and begin from the language which will make my transition to the second language easier. I have 0 experience with asian languages though which makes this decision even harder... Not to mention that there is not a single forum where I can find a definite answer...
Hi Lindie, besides the alphabet, is there anything else that you can suggest learning first before jumping into grammar?
Greetings, top 100 words and such!
Hi, Does anyone know if they send the book to Brazil?

No hay subtitulos en español💔😭
Hey Lindie! Im currently actively studying Japanese and Korean (my main focus is Korean) and I dont really know if Ive been making progress or not. Ive been using Duolingo and passing the levels, but I just forget them. How do I make these rules and exercises stick?
Bangtan.Chicken Do them ove again until you remember the structure but tbh I don’t think it’s that good because it doesn’t really explain anything so there’s nothing to remember ( unless you want to be remembering full sentences)
Use what you learn just passing the levels won't do it for everyone. Try to use and pick up what you learned by reading and listening. Even if you can't understand like 90% of what they are saying try to pick up the stuff you learned.
Duolingo is total bullshit, sorry to disappoint you. Probably you should start reading textbooks.
Mennyi idő alatt tanultál meg koreaiul?
Where do I begin to learn Korean? The alphabet? I’m not sure where to start....
Sofia Summer yes I think you should learn that first since it's how the word sounds it doesn't make much sense to learn words and grammar but then you can't read the language not even a little .
Of course. There's many free or paid resources for learning the writing system/alphabet.
Hello~~~ TNX U 4 your UTUBE~~♥
Hi ? How about a person like me don't have enough money to buy online that kind of textbook? What is another book can i buy?
Jennie Flower you can use the pdf version just google it and you can find them
이 책이 나는 삿ㅅ어요
uddin hanif 화이팅 !!!
Where did you buy it?
Are you studying by yourself?
What I do with my book is I highlight the important things and make notes on that. Then I do the example sentences in blue. And I also do the activities. Some are harder than others, but I try and do them without looking at the answers.
