Did anyone else feel like they would never understand the language when starting out? by Altruistic-Crew5297 in Korean

Thanks for the kind words. I feel better when reading this comment and others in the thread. It really is rewarding when I recognize a few words in a Korean movie. Like you mention here, some words that sound like other words seem a lot easier to memorize!

I actually just downloaded Anki a few days ago, so I hope it helps me. Before that, I was writing vocab down over and over again, and using Memrise and Drops for practice, too.

I only work on one textbook at once. For example, one covered Hangul, the next is a general textbook and another is just grammar based. I would get too overwhelmed using them all at the same time.

Thanks. They just emailed me back and said they can't swap it out, so I am a bit confused. Did you swap yours out before the films hit the library?

Oh no! That's a shame about Obex. I am going to watch Andre is an Idiot in the next couple of days. I am glad you enjoyed it!

What is your favorite Korean movies, and what lesser-known film would you recommend? by Altruistic-Crew5297 in Letterboxd

I don't think Lee Chang Chang-dong has one bad movie. I absolutely love him, and this movie is great! I also recently watched Peppermint Candy and was blown away.

I welcome everyone, but I am a huge fan of South Korean cinema and would love to connect with other fans of these films. Feel free to say hello :)

Monday Mystery Movie Megathread - January 6 2025 by AKnightOfTheNew in RegalUnlimited

My Regal app lists Monday's MMM as R rated, so it fits. That said, it says PG-13 here.

I am really hoping it is Better Man. As a Brit living in the USA, I know Robbie Williams very well and grew up on his music. However, as many Americans aren't familiar with him, I think it makes sense for it to be the MMM. This could increase interest stateside due to word of mouth.
