Learning Hangul and Korean reading practice is important to your first steps with Korean and beyond. Here you can learn Hangul then practice your reading through messaging Koreans, reading webtoons, and more to feel comfortable with Korean!
Today is 한글날 or Hangul Day, which is a Korean holiday dedicated to celebrating the Korean writing system and its creator King Sejong! So to commemorate, I’ll go through a bit on Hangul’s history, King Sejong, and some resources on how to learn Hangul yourself.
Here’s another helpful typing game to pair with the Hancom typing game I’ve mentioned before! Sam, the creator, shared it with me and I really think it can be a great asset to add in when trying to master your Korean typing.
I’m back again with more webtoon onomatopoeia! Onomatopoeia is found not only in webtoons but also used a lot in Korean reality TV shows. You can also find them in Kakao emoticons/stickers or other texting platforms. But today I’ll be delving deeper into different sounds and Korean sfx, with a focus on genre.
Want to test your Korean speaking abilities? or just learn something to show off and impress people a bit? Saying a Korean tongue twister is a fun way to test out your Korean and take it lightheartedly because even native speakers mess up with these so it’s okay if you misspeak or stumble through it a bit!
When you are just starting out there are a lot of different beginner Korean mistakes that can catch you! Some of these mistakes can limit your learning and slow you down or make it harder and others can make it hard for you to communicate in Korean clearly.
Learning as a kid would has become a more popular option for people I think, and it makes sense. Learn Korean like a child as the natives learned themselves and you can take advantage of simple media like children’s books, shows, movies, and more to progress with your Korean and strengthen your listening and reading skills!
Back again with another quiz game for everyone! This time for beginner Korean learners it’s a game to help you memorize the Korean writing system. Now this does work with romanization and has no audio so it doesn’t help with memorizing the sounds and getting down how to speak Korean but it’s a great starting resource and an easy Hangul practice game to get into!
At least for me typing was something I was really weak at in Korean and took a lot of time to develop. From memorizing spelling, the correct order for typing out double vowel words such as 원, being slow, and just mistyping by not knowing the keyboard layout yet. So I have a favourite resource for Korean typing practice that I really like that I wanted to share with you all!
Korean Onomatopoeia! A fun thing to add to your repertoire of Korean words to really add emphasis and feeling to your conversations. Onomatopoeias imitate a sound, feeling, or action; like “The dog barked at me as I clanked my keys”.
On to part 2 and getting into what to talk about with a Korean language exchange partner partner. Plus some key vocab which you can use to work with as a starting off point! From introductions, talking about hobbies, asking questions and more.
