In a similar vein, there is also 할 수 있다! (lit: (I/you) can do (it)!) which is used as a bit of a self-encouragement chant. Personally, I'm kinda partial to the Team 구미호 suggestion, though. I'm not really sure why, but I just kinda like the sound of it. BTW, 구미호 = 九尾狐 (nine-tail-fox) for those of you that are recently starting in on your Hanja studies. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Honestly, I'm not really sure the best way to approach it. Right now, I'm trying to learn the alphabet more fluently, and I'm working on a frequency flash card list on Memrise. I'm not really trying to go without subs (at this point, anyways!), just to understand a little more. SprachProfi has a method which looks really interesting for this kind of thing. Understanding Your Favorite TV Series in 30 Days. It looks interesting, but I haven't found anywhere that I can get both English and Korean subs for the shows I like, plus the video. I might look a little harder when I have some extra time off work over the holidays. I have been looking at different Korean textbooks, but most of them assume you can read the alphabet right off the bat. I can stumble through it, but it's still tough. That's one of the reasons I've been using the frequency list on Memrise. I am starting to recognize letters a lot easier now. :) I know I won't be able to progress a lot with Korean in a year, especially while keeping up with Spanish and French studies, but if I can learn 5-6 words a day for a year, I would know 2000 words. Once I am a little more comfortable with the alphabet, it will be easier to use a textbook, and that will help. I have the Assimil Korean course, so I will probably start using that along with Memrise. It's also a totally new experience for me learning a non-European language, so I'm sure there is going to be a really big learning curve. :D 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

General TAC 2014 Goals More specific goals (in the form of quantifiable targets, where possible) are forthcoming, but here are my overall general goals for Korean for TAC 2014. 1) Spend more time actively studying Korean grammar forms, idioms, etc. rather than focusing so much on vocabulary. 2) Continue to increase Korean vocabulary, but not via direct studying (mostly likely via a return to intensively reading and memorizing song lyrics) 3) Work more on Korean production (both writing and speaking) Edited by Warp3 on 15 December 2013 at 12:13am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Following Warp3's lead, I hereby ask (or, well, whip into submission if that is what
you'd prefer :D) for everyone's goals for Korean in 2014. I will post mine later, like a good indecent leader. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

My goal is to get more comfortable with the writing system, so I can read (the alphabet) fairly fluently, and to acquire some basic vocab (maybe 2000 words - which would be 5-6 words per day).
Ultimately, I want to study Korean further, but it is priority3 for me next year (after Spanish and French), and I know I won't have a lot of time for it. I have a tendency to use my relaxing "down time" to watch Korean TV, although that's not for studying purposes. Once I am more comfortable reading the alphabet, it will be easier to use a textbook to learn more grammar. In the meantime, I'm using a frequency list on Memrise. This is helping me get a few words, as well as helping me recognize and get more comfortable with the writing system. I'm going to start using Assimil Coréen Sans Peine. Even if I only get through 2-3 lessons a week, I should be able to finish it during 2014. I know my goals are really small, but I know myself, and if I push myself too hard - especially with my life right now - I will end up getting less done. If I can learn 2000 vocab words in the year and get really comfortable with the writing system, I will consider that success. :D 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Please let us know what you think of that course. I've seen a few people claim they dislike that course, but I've yet to see anyone explain exactly why. As such, I'm not convinced there is anything wrong with the course and perhaps people are just repeating what they've heard elsewhere. Granted I have no interest in French really, so it wouldn't do me much good anyway, I'm just curious about the course since it seems to be the only one Assimil offers for Korean. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Nice to see you in the Korean team, Kerrie! And good luck with your Korean studies. I think learning 2000 words in a year is an ambitious goal, not small at all. I have been focusing on vocabulary a lot but I haven't been able to learn more than 1500-1700 words a year.
As for your resources, I suggest you try Talk To Me In Korean if you haven't done so already. Their grammar lessons are free. You can also check out my Anki decks, they are optimized for beginners: My Vocabulary Deck My Sentence Deck 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

안녕하세요 Team 한국!
Goals for 2014 My Korean is still very much at a beginner stage after a few false starts. My main interest in Korean, or I should say my main pragmatic use for it, is watching Korean movies and TV shows (variety, comedy and interview shows). On the variety shows, they show a lot of text on screen, so not only is improving listening a priority, so is reading comprehension and reading speed. I'm not too interested, at least not yet, in improving active use. My time goal for Korean is to spend 350 hours actively studying Korean. (That does not include time spent watching movies or TV shows). 1 person has voted this message useful |
