How to learn Korean well

1. Sustainable "interest" is the key to maintaining learning motivation. Interest is the best teacher" - this sentence has been said for many years. When I was a child, I believed it to be the truth, but when I grew up, I discovered that it is easy to become interested, but it is difficult to maintain three points of enthusiasm. Some people After I started learning Korean, I struggled to memorize words, grammar, and endless repetitions of texts. I lost interest soon after starting and gave up learning. Naturally, I don’t advocate this learning method! ? 2. How do you maintain your enthusiasm for learning Korean? Whatever you care about and love, do it. The key is not to stop!

There must be a reason for learning Korean. It may be because of an idol, a Korean drama, or even delicious Korean food. (I won’t go into details about working dog, you must have to learn it, I understand) Then, divert your attention from endless recitation and pay more attention to the dynamics of your idol; continue to follow various popular dramas; travel around you Korean restaurants in the city where you live (Working dogs should not need to find motivation, preventing unemployment is the biggest motivation...) What we need to do is to stimulate our interest continuously, so as to maintain our willingness to learn and "learn". "Continue with the action.

Three? Force yourself and give yourself a reason. In addition to interest, you also need to force yourself. As a severe procrastinator, in fact, no matter how interested you are, , I often give up (the nature of a bad learner is obvious)... So, if the first one above does not apply to you, please pay attention to this article: If you want to learn Korean, do you have a reason why you must learn it well? Example: In college, all you need to learn Korean is to pass the exam, and it doesn’t matter whether you are good or bad - but when you study abroad, if you can’t speak Korean well, you won’t be able to eat every minute, and you won’t be able to find a job when you go out! You will lose your job in just a few minutes! So, if you are lazy and lazy, you must learn to push yourself and find a reason why you must learn it! Does your favorite Korean school require a Korean proficiency certificate? President of the fan club, do you need to understand some Korean characters? When traveling to Korea, do you want to help with shopping? Do you need to read the instructions to avoid bringing the wrong items? Wouldn’t it be better to have a pleasant chat with a Korean idol when you meet him? ? Psychotherapy is more suitable for foreign language learners who do not have strong self-discipline. 4. Why can’t many people learn Korean?

We have to do one thing in particular. When a big thing requires us to invest our time and energy for a long time, we must first understand some things and some situations, so that we don't have to pay unnecessary prices for our blind enthusiasm. You can afford it, but you can’t afford it.

People, especially those who have not undergone special training or practice, are not very capable of enduring hardships for a long time. Their mental energy is very low, and they often Overestimating their own psychological pressure reduction and endurance, they only vaguely see an air bridge that can be successful in theory, but fail to see the hardships of climbing over mountains and mountains. Therefore, once self-study begins to be put into practice, Very few succeed. This is not only true for learning Korean, but also in other fields. If you want to really learn Korean well, then learn from the experts and let someone with strength guide you. If you just want to learn Korean for fun, you can study by yourself. Most people rarely succeed in self-study. Of course, there are also A very few individuals have really strong willpower and have succeeded in self-study, but after all, it is a small probability event.

Many students said that I don’t want to study on my own, but I don’t know who to teach. I can introduce one to my classmates. I used to take his courses. His lectures are easy to understand and very easy. Understand, it gives people a feeling of enlightenment when learning Korean. He gives free video open classes online every day. Students who want to listen can listen to his courses. It will definitely benefit your Korean learning a lot. Since If you want to learn Korean well, you must take steps on your own.

Students who want to listen can enter the teacher's Weixin* (homonym): The first group in the front is: m6, and the second group in the back is: kaka. Just combine the above two sets of numbers in order. Note: Mingdao.

Even if you still insist on self-study, it is necessary to learn from other people's ideas and essence. Self-righteousness behind closed doors is just covering your own eyes. Our purpose is to learn Korean and use Korean, not ourselves and ourselves. Be serious, time is precious, avoid detours. ?4. Clearly recognize the bottleneck period and do a good job in psychological construction.

If you want to persevere, you need to get through these two bottleneck periods. Can everyone happily start learning Korean? But with a good start, we still need to anticipate difficulties and prepare ourselves mentally in advance to avoid fear of difficulties overwhelming our fragile psychology and causing us to give up midway.

There are two obvious bottleneck periods in the Korean learning process.

The first one happens after learning grammar for a while. After learning pronunciation, everyone will basically enter the simple text learning stage, and accumulate words and grammar through learning articles, thereby improving their Korean language skills. At this stage, personal testing is very boring and requires constant memorization and recitation, which is no fun at all. Especially in China's educational environment, we often work hard for a year or more and end up learning dumb Korean - we can speak some stumblingly, but we can't understand the native speakers at all. This stage may last for a long time. You can change your learning methods, such as breaking away from textbooks and reading some original books (Korean books with inspirational and methodological content are easier to read, but novels are not recommended); imitate classic fragments of Korean dramas, Korean Drama rehearsals; the most commonly used ones are watching Korean dramas and listening to Korean songs; using various interesting apps - in short, you need to use all resources to rekindle your enthusiasm for learning; use the sense of achievement in learning to encourage yourself to continue, so as to get through this difficult period. . If you successfully pass the first bottleneck period, you will basically be able to obtain around CET-4 in Korean (you may know that CET-3 and CET-4 are two different concepts). The second bottleneck period exists in the leap between advanced levels. To describe it in terms of proficiency test levels, it is the leap from Level 5 to Level 6. Many domestic Korean language students can graduate with a level of around CET-5. Only a very small number of outstanding graduates have achieved CET-6 and have listening and speaking skills that meet the requirements of the translation industry. If you want to complete the leap between this, you need to make some "intensive materials". If there is no such condition, you can increase your contact with Korean as much as possible in your life, such as using Korean to communicate, browsing Korean websites, playing Korean voices, going to Korea for study or vacation, or entering the translation industry for a long time and participating in a large number of translation work, etc. , high-frequency exposure to Korean in a short period of time, cultivating Korean thinking, will lead to a leap in Korean language ability. Due to space limitations, no further details will be given.

When you think that Level 6 is difficult to challenge, or you have already achieved Level 6 but your listening and speaking skills are very poor, you must realize that this is a common bottleneck period for everyone, and you must be brave enough to overcome this hurdle. Rather than just giving up. 5. Diversified stimulation and multi-faceted learning.

Seize every opportunity to make use of the language. I once thought about why Korean proficiency can be greatly improved while studying abroad. Because I am an introvert and do not take the initiative to communicate with others. During my stay in Korea, I was completely passive. In the end, I concluded that during my stay in Korea, whether studying in school or daily life, it was a learning process. For example, when taking the subway, going to the supermarket to buy groceries, or even ordering takeout, you need to go to the Korean website to find a merchant near your home and call the ordering number. I come into contact with all kinds of people - professors, seniors, landlords, part-time shop owners, church sisters, takeaway uncles, etc. In this way, through multi-faceted exposure and application of Korean, forcing myself to use Korean on different occasions and with different people, I achieved an overall improvement of Korean.

Friends who do not have such a language environment in China should also make flexible use of various opportunities, such as Korean language exchange at school, various regional conferences and celebrations between China and South Korea, or translation for China-Korea exchange meetings in the industry, Korean part-time jobs, and the above mentioned All learning methods available, accept the stimulation of Korean, learn Korean in an all-round way, and look for every opportunity to use this language, so that you can master it as soon as possible. Is this better than memorizing and copying words and texts every day, and answering hundreds of questions before the exam? Compared with the latter, the former method can be described as a shortcut. 6. Find patterns in complicated grammar. It is recommended that you use the grammar of Standard Korean Volume 1 as a basis. Each grammar lesson in this book has a focus, which is basically non-repetitive, and is very practical and will always accompany you in the learning process. Use them as the main thread, intersperse the grammar you will learn later, and add examples to compare when comparing differences. These tasks are required for everyone to complete by themselves after class. Many students understand it very well during class, but they neglect to organize it after returning. After three days, they have almost forgotten it, and confusion occurs when they apply it. "Forgetting" is a very normal situation. Language learning is a process of constant repetition, but do you have your own grammar manual that can help you quickly restore your memory when you forget? 7. Understand the language habits of Koreans. For a Korean, to judge his level of Mandarin, one is to see whether his conjunctions are used flexibly and appropriately, and the other is to see how long the sentences he writes are. If a logical meaning appears several times in a conversation or sentence, he may choose to use different conjunctions to avoid repetition. There is not much difference between these conjunctions themselves. Which one to use first sometimes depends on personal habits. To deal with such grammar, after understanding the meaning, just read more example sentences. If you encounter the same situation, it will be fine if you can imitate it yourself. At the same time, Koreans are also accustomed to the form of long attributives, such as this sentence: "Korean was founded by King Sejong during the Joseon Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years." If you follow Korean habits, it will usually be written as : "The Korean language founded by King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty has a history of hundreds of years." This is one of the reasons why the sentence is relatively long. For sentences like this, we have to work hard to find the center word, and those particles that usually bore us the most come in handy. First remove the adverbials of time and place. These words usually have a ? after them. Then find the attributive part and mark it. Then remove the adverbs ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, and adjectives and adverbs ending with -?, -?, leaving There aren't many things left. The second step is to determine the logical meaning of each part based on the meaning of the connected word endings. Generally speaking, words such as ?, ?, ?, etc. are often symbols that divide a sentence into two parts before and after. One final reminder: if the attributive in a sentence is too long, you can mention it during translation and separate it into a sentence. This will make it easier to understand the meaning of the sentence. 8. Use the law of time. Sometimes when you are really confused about some grammar, you can ignore it for the time being, record it down first, and continue to study. After a while, when you look back at it, you will often have some understanding and solve it easily. This is the magical power of time, which gives your brain a process of understanding, absorption and sublimation, and the correlation between various parts of language helps. 9. Clarify the purpose of learning grammar. Grammar serves language. Always learn grammar in context, and don't be afraid of making mistakes. Grammar that is corrected by others is often the most impressive, and it is also a mistake that will never be made again in the future. Once you have clarified the grammar rules, find someone to practice them with and try writing an article.

Summary: Strategically despise, tactically pay attention; understand habits, look for patterns, grow through practice, and advance through mistakes. 10. The oldest method - recitation method. The last method for learning a language, especially a new foreign language, is the well-known, oldest, most time-consuming, most painful but most effective method - the memorization method.

I believe everyone is well aware of the benefits of memorizing. It can help you build a sense of language, understand the relevant context of the application of sentence patterns, and form a system of many vocabulary. It can also exercise your memory ability? Although this method is the most time-consuming at the beginning , but in the long run, it is the most time-saving and effective. 11. Learn flexibly, apply what you learn, and master it. Memorizing the whole text according to the text is only the first stage. You also need to apply what you have learned and integrate it. Start by practicing substitution of sentence patterns in the text. Replace words as much as you can, even the simplest sentence patterns. Don't do it even though it's easy. This kind of practice will strengthen the impression of the sentence pattern in your mind, directly connect Korean to the event, and reduce the involvement of Chinese. Everyone must have had this experience. You know in your heart that you have learned this sentence, but you can't remember how to say it. Replacement exercises help you minimize the occurrence of this situation. You can do the exercise with a friend, you can say it to yourself in front of a mirror, or you can practice it by yourself in different roles in the imaginary context in your mind.

In the initial stage of learning Korean, almost everyone will find it difficult. If you open an English book at this time, you will suddenly find that you love English a lot, and you will feel more familiar when reading it. . This is something everyone has, a kind of rejection of new things. As long as you persist, at most a month later, when you look back at what you learned in the first week, you will find it very simple. This is what is called getting started. After you get started, please quickly find a Korean friend, open an original Korean drama, and give it a try. The romantic and beautiful South Korea is already open to you. 12.? Solve pronunciation problems in Korean learning. With the advent of the "Korean Wave" and the "Korean language craze", many people have devoted themselves desperately to the craze of learning Korean. Language is a bridge to another world, but language conveys thoughts through sound. If the pronunciation is inaccurate, the effect of communication will be greatly reduced. It can be said that learning any language starts with pronunciation and continues throughout the entire learning process. Therefore, the quality of pronunciation plays a vital role in foreign language learning. Chinese people are prone to many problems in Korean pronunciation. How can we avoid and correct these problems?

Problem 1: Adding tones arbitrarily.

Every word in Chinese has one, two, three, and four tones, but in Korean, each word does not have one, two, three, and four tones. According to the habits of our mother tongue, we will consciously or unconsciously speak Korean according to the Chinese intonation and rhythm habits, which sounds stiff and unnatural. ? Problem 2: Can’t distinguish between loose and tight sounds.

Korean consonants are divided into lax, tense and aspirated sounds based on airflow and tension. When Chinese people pronounce Korean consonants, they often tend to pronounce them according to the Korean initial consonants, so they cannot distinguish them well during pronunciation.

? Question 3: What should I do?

There is a key point in pronunciation that is easily overlooked by everyone - that is, the tip of the tongue should be placed near the upper gums, and then the air should be blown out to make a vibrato. Tongue position is the key to determining whether the pronunciation is accurate. Only when the tongue position is correct can you not pronounce the wrong sound

Question 4: Who is who between the vowels ? and ?

Affected by Chinese habits, there are many people who can’t distinguish between the pronunciation of Korean ? and ?. When pronouncing the vowel, the most important thing is to press the lips forward into a round shape and keep it unchanged. If you can't insist on keeping it unchanged, it will naturally be pronounced as "ou" in Chinese Pinyin. 13. How to overcome these problems in learning?

①Listen first and then speak.

First listen repeatedly, feel the speaker's words with your heart, and observe the mouth patterns of others when they pronounce the words. Then imitate other people's pronunciation, pay attention to mouth shape, tongue position, and phoneme. You can observe yourself in the mirror while practicing.

②Open your mouth.

Not opening your mouth is a taboo in learning a language. Overcoming shyness and throwing away face is the first step to learning a language well. No one who is really good at learning foreign languages ??is thin-skinned.

? ③ Practice pronunciation by combining words and sentences.

Simply blasting out sounds one after another from your mouth will become boring after a long time. It doesn't matter, we can take out the newly learned words and texts and read them.

? ④ Practice reading.

When you have read to a certain level, throw away the material and read it completely along with the recording. Reading along as a whole without pausing can help you feel the coherence of the conversation better.

? ⑤Self-examination→recording.

Maybe you will feel that the reason is very different at first, but slowly you will find that you have been making progress, which will help increase your enthusiasm for learning.
