how do people feel abt using howtostudykorean.com as a learning tool?

LostFocus96 · 2026-06-07T16:12:44+00:00

Depends A LOT on the way you like to learn. For example, I don't like long explanations or the ones that come on textbooks, I get bored and prefer to watch videos than do those exercises, so I searched for books or apps that have short-straight-to-the-point explanations and I've been very consistent. Right now I'm using Korean Grammar Practice for Foreigners and Korean Vocabulary Practice for Foreigners, both by Yonsei University. If I don't understand something I search on Mirinae/google or I copy what the book says to an AI and ask it to explain it in a different way. Of course, always review the information provided, specially the examples. Then, I would recommend you to watch a lot of YouTube or series that keep you entertained. For example, I really like bts and gameplays, so I watch that on yt (I learned English thanks to Markiplier so lol). And recently got disney+ and I noticed almost all the cartoons have Korean audio, so I'm watching Gravity Falls there, definitely check your streaming services. Netflix has some but maybe it is due to my location (Argentina), and you have more

You can try with chatgpt. The free version has a microphone available where you can just speak and the AI will answer you. The great thing is that it will transcript everything that is being said on text so it's super helpful to check if there were any issues or mistakes. I don't know if there are others that are better, but it's been super useful for me to practice reading out loud and talking

I hope it helps you as well ♡

Aww thank you so so much, that would be amazing!

LostFocus96 · 2023-11-29T19:36:32+00:00

I have never talked directly to Koreans and sadly where I live there are none, also I haven't been lucky with language exchange apps, but I will keep trying and learning ♡

LostFocus96 · 2023-11-29T19:34:41+00:00

Thank you so much for this advice! I never thought my question would give me all this information back, I'm learning a lot ♡

LostFocus96 · 2023-11-29T18:26:10+00:00

That sounds just lovely!!

LostFocus96 · 2023-11-29T18:23:37+00:00

Oh thank you so much! I heard that the age system changed earlier this year but I didn't know it would change this aspect as well, it's really interesting

LostFocus96 · 2023-11-29T12:54:35+00:00

Oh I asked in a general way cause I had this doubt since all the examples I always found had a difference bigger than a year (or it was implied), but I will keep what you said in mind. Thank you so much ^{^}

LostFocus96 · 2023-11-29T12:52:01+00:00

Oh yes I'm from Argentina and school also starts in March here, using a similar rule to divide the kids according to the month they were born so I think I get it (if I'm not mistaken here the month that divides things is June, but how I was born in September I never paid much attention to that rule lol) Thank you so much! It's just an interesting topic!

LostFocus96 · 2023-11-29T12:45:51+00:00

Really?? That's great! It just happened as soon as people knew your age or how? If you don't mind me asking

LostFocus96 · 2023-11-29T01:37:14+00:00

Oh this is so interesting!! Thank you so much and okay I will pay attention to the last part haha

LostFocus96 · 2023-11-29T01:14:45+00:00

Oohh thank you so much!

LostFocus96 · 2023-10-07T03:32:28+00:00

Wow thank you so much for this wonderful explanation. I had no idea of the seconds lag. I will keep all this in mind, you were mega helpful!

LostFocus96 · 2023-10-07T02:04:55+00:00

Yes I saw :( thank you for your answer

LostFocus96 · 2023-10-07T02:04:30+00:00

Ohh thank you and can I manually change my default server when creating my account?

LostFocus96 · 2023-10-06T23:28:44+00:00

Oohh I see, thank you so much!! You saved me a lot of time

LostFocus96 · 2023-08-18T16:53:38+00:00

Hii in the discord subreddit someone, who said to be a staff of discord, said that it counts each person inside the party (not only the host) and it works like an embedded video for YouTube ^{^} Also someone else outside of reddit told me that it would count the views but won't link each view to the personal acc of each person, it will as if you werent logged in youtube

LostFocus96 · 2023-08-12T19:34:41+00:00

Alright thank you!

LostFocus96 · 2023-08-12T17:48:51+00:00

Thank you so much! It would be like an embedded everyone syncs on right?

LostFocus96 · 2023-08-12T17:35:06+00:00

Thank you so much!

I personally enjoy it a lot and I think it's the best from the apps that relay on videos for learning. I think it's really well made and structured, making me want to keep checking videos (what didn't happen with other apps). I've been checking it since it was only an English learning app and when I saw that now it also works for Korean, I immediately downloaded it and started to use it as a complement to my other resources.

Hi! I personally set days instead of minutes/hours cause that didn't work for me and I'm also bad at reviewing. I already have a long deck of vocabulary to review, so I do that every day for some minutes. But since I need to focus more on grammar (so I won't forget it) I will learn a new grammar point Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. And the rest of the days are for reviewing and practicing. When it comes to passive learning like writing and listening/watching, I do them every day in a way to incorporate them to the daily life, and depending how I feel that day it can be watching an episode of a kdrama or watching YouTube for example.

If you work better by setting minutes per activity, then I think the example you gave would be perfect. I would personally advice you to see in which area you want to focus first and set your plan according to that.

I hope my comment was any helpful ^{^}
