How to learn Korean quickly for beginners

The school gives you a place to use your talents, and you give the school a useful talent. Korean is a very popular language now. Learning Korean is as useful as learning any other language. First? To learn Korean by yourself, confidence is more important than method.

Many students feel confused and confused about self-study. These are normal phenomena. What is self-study? There is no teacher's guidance, no teacher's correction, everything depends on oneself, and oneself opens a strange door. Therefore, those of us who learn small languages ????from teachers will greatly admire those who learn by themselves. They have overcome many difficulties to reach the same level as us. But the experience they gained in this process and their experiences are beyond our imagination. The road they have traveled is a different scenery, worthy of our exploration and appreciation.

Learning Korean by yourself is a long journey. Although it is "difficult", I am fearless because I love it! Precisely because it is difficult for her, doing this has great value and significance, isn't it? We envy many so-called English masters, Japanese masters, Korean masters... The results they have achieved look good, but they are all accumulated little by little by insisting on doing the same thing every day for a long time. Wouldn't they encounter difficulties for such a long time? Have they given up?

Therefore, when I first started learning Korean by myself, I personally believed that confidence is more important than method. If you do not correctly understand that you are studying on your own without the guidance of a teacher, you will easily become confused and have the idea of ??giving up. So here is a large paragraph of text above to cheer you up! ! Second? Have you determined the motivation and goals for self-study?

If you just want to sing a simple Korean song at the venue, you only need to master the phonetic symbols and diacritical rules;

If you want to take the junior certificate and know some basic spoken English, go to Korea to try it. If you want to take a self-guided tour, then your goal is the elementary level;

If you want to study abroad and understand variety shows or Korean dramas, then you have to learn the intermediate level;

If you like this very much If you want to learn a language at the highest level and even want to challenge simultaneous interpretation, then you must be prepared for a protracted battle, and I will accompany you!

No matter what your goal is, in fact, during this period of time when you insist on learning Korean, I believe that just like someone who insists on running every day, your life will definitely change little by little, such as in In the morning, you will remember that you have to practice Korean, so you get up early, have a delicious breakfast, and are not late for work. The whole day becomes better because you learned a Korean song in the morning. This is what I expected.

Learning a boring language may be the only motivation when you are shaken. Therefore, you must take your motivation seriously. Whether it is because you simply like languages, or because you want to understand Korean written by idols, or because you want to study abroad or travel independently, you must take it seriously and take your dreams seriously! Persistence is valuable because the results achieved after perseverance are very gratifying. When one day, you can speak fluent Korean, watch Korean dramas without subtitles, or sing a few Korean songs in front of your friends, I believe that at that time You will definitely thank yourself for persisting in learning Korean for a long time! Third? Who said you can’t conquer Korean with zero basic knowledge? The world is like my generation, so I can learn Korean with a smile and let me do whatever I want.

Many students feel that their foundation is poor or they have no foundation, and they don’t know if they can learn it.

Excellence is achieved through constant trying, trying, and trying again. . Do you still look like a young person when you are grinding and chirping? Fourth? Is Korean easy to learn?

1. Korean is a relatively easy language to get started with.

After learning for about a month, you can understand all the words and be able to pronounce them. The elementary level is somewhat similar to Japanese grammar, but it is very different after the intermediate and advanced levels.

2. Korean text,

the structure is relatively simple. The structures include horizontal and vertical folds, circles, and horizontal folds. It is quite consistent with the Chinese principle of yin and yang. Korean is a relatively scientific language, and Korean is one of the fastest languages ??for computer input in the world.

3. Korean grammar

It may be a bit difficult to use honorifics, just get used to it. For example, the same content is expressed differently depending on the object. No matter what language, it is a system. It cannot be mastered overnight. It requires a lot of hard work, listening, reading and writing. Fifth? How to learn Korean.

1. Master pronunciation and expand vocabulary

Korean is an alphabetic language, so mastering the pronunciation of Korean letters is a top priority for beginners. We can choose video learning or follow a teacher to learn. The advantage of the former is that you can learn repeatedly according to your own needs; in the latter, with the help of a teacher, beginners can learn more standardized pronunciation of human voices, and can also get corrections from the teacher, which will prepare them for the future. Lay the foundation for learning; dictation while imitating is very helpful for consolidating memory. Furthermore, words are the cells of language, so what we have to do is to memorize words as we have learned any language before... But we Chinese have an innate advantage in learning Korean. In the composition of Korean words, 70% are For Chinese character words, it is not a problem for us to master the skills of Chinese character pronunciation during the learning process.

2. Summary of grammar

Korean grammar points are numerous and complicated, and many beginners are overwhelmed by the oncoming grammar knowledge. However, there may be multiple Korean expressions for the same Chinese meaning, so we must first understand and summarize based on understanding. As a beginner, boring grammar and rigid rules are not your destination. Lively spoken English and wonderful conversations are your pursuit. We need to conquer grammar and make it a tool for learning Korean.

3. Cultivate interest?

Some friends who are new to Korean will find that facing a new language is not as simple as imagined after they have just started learning Korean for a while. In severe cases, they will Have thoughts of giving up. At this time, we need to stimulate our own interest. Watching Korean dramas, following Korean TV series, following Korean stars, etc. are all extremely effective ways to increase interest in learning Korean. While having fun, we also stimulate interest in learning, which is also very helpful for Korean language learning.

4. Use the Internet to enrich knowledge

You may complain that Korean is not as ubiquitous as English, but don’t forget the wonderful world of the Internet. You can download it Various Korean-related software, learn basic knowledge of Korean, enjoy Korean music and movies, listen to Korean radio and television programs, let you appreciate the style of Korea without leaving home, and create a Korean-speaking environment.

05 Combine yourself and seek help

There are many friends who are new to learning Korean and should start learning with interest. Like Korean celebrities, follow Korean dramas, and like Korean songs ~ these are all motivations for learning Korean. But sometimes when you try to learn by yourself, you often take many detours. For example, every word in our Chinese language has a tone, and the one, two, three, and four tones are the pronunciation rules that we are very familiar with, but in Korean, each word does not have the one, two, three, and four tones. This makes us unable to find our way for a while, and we always consciously or unconsciously say Korean words according to the intonation or rhythm of Chinese, which makes it sound stiff and unnatural. When starting to learn Korean, be careful not to fall into the quagmire of being influenced by Chinese tones. If you want to adapt to Korean language habits as soon as possible, you can consciously carry out forced training. The best way is to listen more and read more. The materials should be dialogues or articles that meet your own level. Korean drama scripts, texts and even news can become Our weapons to conquer Korean.

So, when we encounter difficulties or don’t know that we are on the “wrong” road, it would be nice to have someone to help you correct it in time. This is also what I said before. When learning a language, it is best to put yourself in this language environment, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort. Sixth? The prospect of learning Korean.

With the rapid economic development and the increase in cultural exchanges between China and South Korea, many Korean companies are building factories in China, or many domestic companies are developing in South Korea. The need for Korean talents is gradually increasing, and many large companies are involved in The demand for Korean-speaking talents is also very popular here, and some places cannot meet the job needs of major companies. If you like translation, the market demand for Korean translation is very high in many cities. Of course, if you are purely interested in Korean and want to learn, it would be perfect.

1. Korean-speaking tour guide

Whether you are a tourist who likes to travel to South Korea or to China, a group hopes to have a tour guide who understands Korean. However, due to limited talents, Korean-speaking tour guides It is difficult to recruit tour guides, so many travel companies are basically passive. The job of a Korean tour guide is easy and the salary is relatively ideal.

2. Korean translation

Foreign companies need a large number of Chinese and Korean translation talents. However, due to the limited number of people learning Korean, many foreign companies must have this position vacant, so many foreign companies will They chose to recruit employees at Korean language training institutions, but the problem of Korean language talents still cannot be solved, and many positions remain vacant.

Seventh, have you really memorized 40 phonetic symbols? ,,?,?,,,,,?,?... Can you reflect the correct pronunciation of these words or short sentences in one second? If not, please continue reading~

The 40 phonetic symbols, rhyme endings and diacritical rules must be remembered thoroughly at all costs. These are to Korean what the fifty-syllable diagram is to Japanese and Chinese Pinyin. to Chinese. After learning or mastering these, it means that you can easily spell out all Korean words. Of course, these are the inevitable results of mastering them after a lot of practice! Its importance is self-evident.

Among so many relatives and friends who pay attention to me, I believe that most of them can already read Korean slowly and spell it. At this time, some people started to get anxious. In the group or They asked me in private messages what should I do next, what books should I buy to study, are there any books that collect all grammars, how should I practice listening... There are many, many similar questions. Everyone is too anxious.

Grammar and listening are all parts that should be considered for improvement after having a certain foundation in Korean. In the initial study, the focus is mainly on words and texts. I will explain to you in detail about the course selection book in the second part. So how to keep in mind the 40 tones and their changing patterns? I have the following methods to share with you.

01: Treat the 4 lines of consonants and the 3 lines of vowels as jingles. Whether you are walking or before going to bed, you can read them forward and backward, and "carry" each phonetic symbol in your brain. "Come out and think about its writing, pronunciation and whether it can be used as a rhyme ending. If it is used as a rhyme ending, what sound will it be pronounced? A series of other issues need to be thought about more and take the initiative to learn.

02: Spend ten or twenty minutes of your time watching Korean variety shows. Why do you say this? Because Korean dramas do not have Korean subtitles, and the sentences are too long, they are not suitable for beginners. Korean variety shows are all equipped with subtitles, and because the variety shows contain very short sentences, they are very suitable for beginners to practice phonetic symbols and spelling. Here I recommend "Running Man".

03: Learn to sing Korean songs! This is highly recommended! But choose something with a gentle tone and nothing too exciting. You can choose one or two sentences at a time to practice, regardless of its meaning. Remember that you are here to learn pronunciation. How to choose which teaching materials to use for self-study?

When you can spell out any Korean sentence you see, you can start preparing teaching materials. However, the problem of teaching materials is a headache. There are countless various teaching materials on the market.

Similar to English, choosing textbooks is a headache, but there are rules. When you have no idea where to start, choose textbooks published by famous Korean universities, such as Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Kyung Hee University, Ewha Womans University, etc. The textbooks published by these universities have certain standards in terms of quality and curriculum. . In addition, regarding grammar, there is no need to buy a separate grammar book or a separate vocabulary book in the early stage, as this will only increase your burden.

Learn along with the textbook. Each lesson will include vocabulary, text, grammar, and after-class exercises. Before starting to study a lesson, you first need to be familiar with all the words and common sentence patterns in the lesson. Then you have to analyze the sentences in the text, how to pronounce each sentence, and follow the recording to correct your pronunciation. How do Korean and Chinese correspond? After memorizing the grammar that appears in the text, you can memorize it again in the exercises after class. This is a complete learning process, and relatives who are self-taught can learn from it! Ninth? Understand Korea and Koreans

Everyone knows that Korea is a very polite country, so there are issues such as honorifics and non-honorifics that cause headaches for beginners. . When Koreans meet for the first time, they will ask each other's age to determine whether they use honorifics or non-honorifics. These differences from China require our special attention. I will also update articles about Korean culture in the future, so stay tuned! 10. On your way to self-learning Korean, I cheer for you

Really don’t give up just because of some small setbacks. When I first entered the Korean class and started learning Korean, there were 28 people in the class. When I took the TOPIK intermediate exam 16 months later, there were only 7 people left. Where were the others? Of course I gave up for various reasons. Because we don’t have time, have a lot of professional homework, want to work part-time, want to travel, etc., but I can be sure that after we all get the advanced certificate and start to further improve our Korean language skills, we can earn some money by doing some translation work in Korean. Although the money was not much, they must be envious and regretful in their hearts.

In fact, when learning Korean by yourself, the most important thing is to maintain strict requirements, constantly polish your language skills, and polish your dreams! There is no great power, just the motivation to persevere every day. Where does this motivation come from? Not everyone wants to be a better version of themselves and do what they like.
