Q. Oops! I missed the live classes. Can I rewatch them?

How often will live classes will be?
when speaking to yourself about a certain topic, should we look up vocab words or write down what were going to say then speak it? or when speaking to ourselves, should we just say what comes to mind, then write down any additional vocab later? because often I find my vocab/grammar isn’t very extensive.
you can disregard, I got too excited and asked a question you answered, amazing! thank you. ๐
Hello! Will there be any July live courses and any future live zoom classes?
^ I’d also like to know ^^
I found a website called ‘Mirinae’ where you insert a Korean sentence and it analyzes it for you and you study each part of the sentence and it has really helped me learn!

Yeji is such a great teacher! These courses are great reminders of ways to study that I certainly haven’t paid attention to or don’t practice them as much as I should. The Active Listening when watching K-Dramas makes perfect sense – it takes a time commitment that I don’t make time for but will pick an episode from the drama I am watching and give it a try (Agency – it’s a great drama with a strong female lead!). I generally read the English subtitles backwards as the actor speaks to help translate the Korean sentence structure. Turning on the Korean subtitles is next with finger over the Pause button! Thank you TTMIK for these sessions. The Rewatch sessions are just as effective as sitting in live (which is super fun to do if you have the time zone chance). I am on Level 8 and the translation of the spoken word is indeed the hardest but it’s all about practice and immersion. Each level builds on the grammar previously learned and I am referencing prior sections constantly. Good to have on hand while watching the episode to refresh and see how it was converted from casual, informal polite and honorific based on the conversation and the age/title of the characters. FUN!
Thank you so much Sheri for your amazing review! I’m very happy that you found these live classes helpful! ๐ฅน

Thank you for the live class series. Unfortunately I cannot join them because it is in the middle of the night in Germany / Europe.
I think the journaling way is really interesting. I try to write from time to time but with the usage of -๋ค not in ์form.
My biggest struggle is also the listening. I recognize the words in written form but not in spoken form (mostly it is way too fast). So I try to watch (and rewatch very often) podcast / vlogs on YT.
Thank you again for the class. ๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค.
Thank you so much for sharing your struggle as a learner. If we have another live class, I will definitely include “listening”! ๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค!
I’m trying to use up some of my older stickers from my collection. I’m combining this with studying Korean words by using the sticker as my “drawing” and writing sentences with a focus word that describes the sticker. Then I go to HiNative and have them check if my sentences make sense. I can make corrections so my “dictionary” is personalized and has been proofread too.
Awesome! That’s a great way to study Korean while using up the older stickers haha. Creative!
Personal opinion:
The only surefire way to remember words in any language is to use them every day.
Make the language a part of your life.
Can’t agree more!! ์ ๋ง ๋ง๋ ๋ง์ด์์ใ ใ For those who want to know the practical ways to make Korean a part of your life, come join the upcoming live classes ๐
Hello Yeji, can you recommend a book to for beginners (myself) to learn to read and write in Korean? Learning English as a child we learned from reading stories and the method of phonics for spelling words.
Of course! I’d recommend “Real-Life Korean Conversations for Beginners.” It has 40 conversations which are really realistic and easy to digest for beginners. Here is the link to the book: https://talktomeinkorean.com/product/cov1/
If you prefer “stories” to “conversations”, check out “Easy Korean Reading for Beginners.” Here is the link: https://talktomeinkorean.com/product/reading/ Both books are really good! Highly recommended!
Hello, everyone. It’s Yeji! Do you also have any tips for memorizing words more effectively? Please share your own tips in the comment! ๐
I write them down four times when I do Anki … it has helped my Hangul a lot but as a result I now have messy handwriting because I write ใน,ใ ,์ด,ใ in cursive and everything else in printing.
Unfortunately I know boring methods only: Anki and memorising from my textbook. ๐
What a great idea! Thank you!
My pleasure! Hope to see you in the live classes ๐
