안녕하세요! 노에미 예요.
Why Korean ?
Since I'm about 12 years old, I'm interested in Korean culture. I enjoy listening to
Kpop and watching Kdramas. But I'd like to be able to understand the lyrics and what
they are saying in dramas without subtitles. There are also some books that I am
interested to read but they are only in Korean... I think that learning the language
could make me discover even more about their culture.
My Plan
I don't really have a plan to learn Korean. So I'm not sure how I'm going to do it.
But now, I'm focusing on learning vocabulary. If I understand some words I think it
would be easier for me to see how they form their phrases, etc. I already know some
basic grammar, so I can still form sentences.

Welcome and best of luck with your Korean studies. If you need help there are quite a few Korean learners here to help out. :)

Awesome!! I finished all their levels, so I follow their material as it comes out. It was
a HUGE help. It really taught me a lot.

I didn't study Korean at all :(
I had a lot on my mind and I was going through some things. I'm a lot better now and I'm
ready to really learn Korean. I've said that so many times... Though, I did change a
lot and I've finally found what I want to do with my life. I know some grammar but I
don't have any words to work with... and languages are words. So I'm challenging myself
to learn at least 3 new words a day. I'm going to make a schedule so that I don't forget
to study too.
I'm more mature now, and I think I can really do it this time.

You're already very dedicated for your age (you probably hate this phrase :D), don't worry about it. Do you have any book or program to follow? It will make things easier. I like to recommend Click Korean which is a free introduction to Korean with short, cute lessons and good explanations. If you don't mind working on it in front of the computer I think it's an ideal place to start.
