Korean Language

[IamNobody]

Hello is there anyone out there na marunong and fluent sa pagsasalita ng korean? I need some help, tutorial actually. 

[loveleah]

Nakakabasa ako ng Hanguel Sis, but hindi masyado nakakaintindi hahah. Although marunong ako sa basic language nila , I've lived in Korea for 4 years ..

^ Really sis? Mdali lang ba aralin language nila? Tsaka how's your stay there?

I can read, speak and write Korean pero I'm not "that" fluent yet. I self studied for 3 years, took the TOPIK exam and worked in a South Korean military base camp.

Galing naman Sis Meloncreme! Currently self-studying the language. Nakakabasa and nakakasulat na rin ako but I think nasa Grade 1 pa lang. Mabagal pa. I just started three weeks ago.

I'm self-studying too Medyo obsessed kasi ako sa kpop so I really want to learn Hangul para hindi ako nahihirapan if yung gusto kong group nasa isang show. Though konti pa lang yung alam ko na words. I bought books and joined forums where I can learn with other people. Still looking for an app sa phone para sana mas convenient kahit wala ako sa house.

^ What books did you buy and which forums did you join? As for apps, lahat ng apps ko kelangan ng wifi or 3G like webtoon apps and dictionary apps.

Haha! KPOP ba kamo? Ako rin! Although this year lang talaga ko nag-decide mag-aral after years of being a KPOP fanatic. Gamit kong apps are Dongsa (for verbs), Hangeul and Korean Fun Easy Learn (for basic words) and Korean dictionary. Pati keyboard ko, in Korean na rin para di ko makalimutan. They work even without WIFI or 3G. Sa Playstore ko lang lahat na-download for free.

^ Yes! Haha! Nakakainip na rin kasi maghintay ng English subs kaya nagdecide na ako na magaral ng Hangul. Sa ngayon beginner pa lang ako pero yung mga simple words naiintindihan ko na basta huwag lang masyadong mabilis yung pagkakasabi lol I also use that Fun Easy Learn - Korean app kasi madali lang sabayan. Sana nga magkaron ako ng Korean friend para madali magpractice hehe

You guys should try language exchange. You and your partner will talk or chat for 30 minutes in English and 30 minutes in Korean. You don't have to speak Korean agad agad. You can ask questions like how to say this and that and what is this and that in Korean. I suggest Hellotalk app. It's the best language exchange app I've ever tried kasi yung iba, daming perverts. Pero sa Hellotalk, wala akong naencounter na pervert pa so far.

You can try this website to learn Korean. I find it very helpful. http://talktomeinkorean.com. They have lessons and downloadable siya lahat.

I can read and write in Hangul, and like Miss Taken, dahil sa kabaliwan ko sa KPOP kaya ako nagpursige mag-aral ng Hangul. Pero apart from self-studying, I studied Basic Korean Language at our school with a pure Korean teacher kaya that helped a lot din. Right now, I'm still in the process of mastering the language.

I used talktomeinkorean way back in 2011 when I was just starting to learn basic grammar but I stopped using it when I reached level 3 because I started studying with textbooks from Korean universities. I prefer to study with textbooks because the explanations made it easier for me to understand the slight differences between two similar grammar structures. I'm planning to take TOPIK again and I'm hoping that I can maintain Level 4 or advance to Level 5 or 6.
