Whether you plan to go to Korea for a holiday, want to know about Korean culture, or just enjoy learning a new language, follow these simple steps and you will soon be able to speak fluent Korean!

Method 1: Start

1. Learn Korean and Korean letters. When you start to learn Korean, especially if you want to learn to read and write further, you'd better start by learning the alphabet. Because the Korean alphabet is completely different from the Roman alphabet, it may seem strange to most English speakers who just started learning Korean, but the Korean alphabet is actually very simple. Korean was founded in the Korean era of 1443. Korean has 24 letters, including 14 consonants and 10 vowels. But if you count 16 diphthongs and double consonants, a * * *, there are 40 letters.

Korean also uses about 3,000 Chinese characters, or Chinese characters, to express some words originated from China. Different from Japanese Chinese characters, Korean Chinese characters can only be used in academic works, religious (Buddhist) classics, dictionaries, newspaper titles, classical literature and Korean literature before World War II, surnames and so on. In North Korea, Chinese characters are hardly used.

2. Learn to count. Knowing how to count is the most basic skill in any language. Counting in Korean is a bit complicated, because according to different situations, Korean will use two sets of counting methods: proper words and Chinese characters. Chinese characters come from Chinese and have some characteristics of Chinese. Inherent words are used to indicate the number of items (the number is between 1 and 99) and the age, such as 2 children, 5 bottles of beer and 27 years old. Here's how to count from 1 to 10:one = with proper words. Pronunciation is "Hana"

Two =? Pronunciation is "dool"

Three =? Pronunciation is "setting"

Four =? Pronunciation is "net"

Five =? Pronunciation is "da-sut"

Six =? Pronunciation is "yuh-sut"

Seven =? Pronunciation is "il-gop"

Eight =? Pronunciation is "yuh-duhl"

Nine =? Pronunciation is "ahop"

Ten =? Pronounced as "yuhl"

Chinese characters are used to represent dates, money, addresses, telephone numbers and numbers above 100. The following is how to count from 1 to 10: one = in Chinese characters. Pronunciation is "il"

Two =? Pronunciation is "ee"

Three =? Pronunciation is "Sam"

Four =? Pronunciation is "sa"

Five =? Pronunciation is "Oh"

Six =? Pronunciation is "yuk"

Seven =? Pronunciation is "chil"

Eight =? Pronunciation is "pal"

Nine =? Pronunciation is "goo"

Ten =? Pronounced as "boat"

3. Remember simple words. The bigger the vocabulary, the easier it is to speak a language fluently. Try to familiarize yourself with many everyday Korean words-you will be surprised to find that your Korean has improved so fast! When you hear an English word, think about how to say it in Korean. If you don't know, write it down and look it up later. If so, it is very convenient to carry a small notebook with you.

Stick post-it notes written in Korean on things at home, such as mirrors, coffee tables and sugar cans. In this way, you can often see these words and learn them unconsciously!

It is very important to learn the words and phrases of "Korean to English" and "English to Korean". In this way, you can not only know what it means, but also remember what it says.

4. Learn some basic conversation phrases. After learning some basic polite expressions, you can communicate with Koreans quickly. Try to learn the following words/phrases: Hello =? Pronunciation is "anyeong" (informal expression) and "anyeong-haseyo" are formal expressions.

Yes =? Pronunciation is "ne" or "un"

No = pronounced as "ani" or "aniyo"

Thanks =? Pronunciation is "Cam-Sa-Ham-Ni-Da"

What is my name? =? _ _ _ pronounced "Jon _ _ _ Imnida"

How are you =? ? Pronunciation is "Otto-Shim-Nikka"

Nice to meet you = pronounced "mannasobangawo-yo" or "mannasobangawo"

Goodbye =? Pronunciation is "an-nyonghikye-sayo"

See you later = "Daumemanaa" or "daumemannayo"

5. Understand the forms of honorifics. It is very important to learn different levels of honorifics in Korean expressions. Korean is different from English, and the ending of predicate verbs will be different according to the age, job level and social status of the interviewee. In order to have a correct and polite conversation, it is very important to understand the function of honorifics: non-honorifics-used for conversations with peers or young people, especially close friends.

Honorific words-used for talking with the elderly and formal social occasions.

Written language-very formal occasions, such as news or the army. It is rarely used in general conversation.

6. Learn basic grammar. In order to speak any language correctly, it is necessary to master the grammar of this language. The following are some significant differences between English grammar and Korean grammar: Korean almost always uses the order of subject-object-predicate, and predicates always appear at the end of sentences.

In Korean, when both the reader and the speaker know who the subject is, the subject of the sentence is usually omitted. The subject of the sentence will be mentioned in the context.

In Korean, adjectives and verbs are used much like tenses, and can be substituted for each other to express sentences.

7. Work hard on pronunciation. The pronunciation of Korean is very different from that of English, so it takes a lot of practice to pronounce a word correctly. The most common mistake that native English speakers make when learning Korean is to think that the pronunciation of Roman letters in Korean is the same as that of the same letters in English. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Beginners must relearn the pronunciation of Roman letters in Korean.

In English, when a word ends with a consonant, the last letter is always pronounced softly. The pronunciation of words ending in consonants in Korean is difficult for people who are not used to listening to Korean to hear this closed syllable. For example, when an English speaker says "ship", there will be a weak "P" sound when his mouth opens. There is no final "air current" sound in Korean, they just keep their mouths closed.

8. Don't be discouraged! If you really want to learn Korean, stick to it-the satisfaction of mastering a second language will far outweigh the difficulties you encounter in learning. Learning a new language takes time and practice, not one step.

Method 2: Integrate yourself into the language environment.

1. Talk to Korean speakers. The best way to improve new language skills is to practice with native speakers. They can easily correct your grammar and pronunciation mistakes, and let you learn more spoken or popular dialogues that books can't learn. If you have a friend who can speak Korean and is willing to make progress together, that would be great! However, you can also post an advertisement in the local newspaper or online, or investigate whether there is already a Korean exchange organization near your home.

If you can't find someone who can speak Korean near your home, try to find one on Skype. They may be willing to exchange 15 minutes of Korean conversation for 15 minutes of English conversation.

Commonly used Korean messaging application is also a good way to practice Korean, because it will help you learn more slang and read Korean skillfully.

2. Consider enrolling in a language training class. If you want to study Korean harder or feel you want to study Korean more formally, sign up for a Korean training class. Look for advertisements for this language training course in local universities, schools or community centers.

If you are nervous about going to the training class, you can also pick up a friend. In this way, it is more interesting after class, and someone can practice with you!

3. Watch Korean movies or cartoons. You can watch some Korean dramas on DVD (with subtitles) or watch cartoons online. This is a simple way to feel Korean pronunciation and sentence structure. If you want to feel further, you can pause the video after a simple sentence, and you can repeat what is said inside. This will make your Korean accent feel more real!

If you can't buy a Korean movie, you can rent it in a movie rental store. Generally, there is a foreign movie area. You can also see if there are Korean movies in the local library or ask them if they can provide you with some resources.

4. Find applications designed specifically for Korean children. Translate the "learning letter" or "baby and/or children's games" into Korean, then cut it out and paste it into the search bar of the app store. These applications are very simple and suitable for children. Therefore, you can operate these applications without reading or speaking Korean. In addition, applications are cheaper than buying DVDs. These applications will teach you the correct Korean writing method; And most of them are also equipped with song and dance scenes; In addition, there are some puzzle games that are also helpful for learning everyday Korean vocabulary. Be careful not to download it as an application for Korean children to learn Chinese.

5. Listen to Korean songs or radio. Listening to Korean songs and/or radio is another good way to integrate yourself into the language environment. Although you can't understand every word and sentence, you can listen to some key words selectively, which will help you understand what they say. Korean pop music is mainly sung in Korean, but it is also mixed with some English words. Fans often translate the lyrics into English so that you can know what a song is about.

Download a Korean radio APP on your mobile phone and listen to it on the road.

You can download some Korean podcasts and listen to them while doing sports or housework.

6. Consider traveling to South Korea. When you feel that basic Korean communication is not a problem, you can consider traveling to South Korea. What better way to integrate yourself into the language environment than to travel to South Korea?

Tips Always review the materials you have learned. In case you forget.

If you have the chance, don't be shy to make friends with people who speak Korean. Some Koreans are shy, but most people are "very" keen on learning English from native speakers. This is a good opportunity for language exchange and learning directly from their rich culture. But be careful. Many people whose mother tongue is not English are more interested in learning English than learning Korean. Before this happens, talk to them about how to exchange languages.

You can also watch some Korean TV programs and movies with English subtitles. Or watch Korean music videos with English subtitles, so that when you hear the word "OMO", the English subtitle will be "Oh My/' OhMy/OhMy good'", so that you can quickly understand its meaning.

You can try to think in Korean. It sounds strange. When you are thinking about something, you can think in Korean without translating it in your head first.

You must practice more. Practice a little every day, even if you are alone.

Two effective ways of long-term memory are high frequency and high enthusiasm. You can learn about 500 words in a high-frequency way, because this number is usually enough for high-frequency methods. In addition, you need to be enthusiastic about what you have learned.

Make sure the pronunciation is correct. If you are not sure, look up these pronunciations online.

Warning: It is difficult for native English speakers to master Korean because Korean is different from Spanish, German, Irish, Russian and Greek. Don't give up when you are in trouble. Think of learning Korean as solving a big guessing game. Have fun!
