#korean language learning

It’s nice to know that some things are NOT just social or cultural constructs and are truly indelible, no matter how hard some people try to claim that male and and female are interchangeable and how the differences between the sexes are something we made up and there’s no link to behaviors or patterns beyond what we learn in the culture we grew up in etc…
Because I texted multiple different Korean friends practically in tears about how much I hate the fact that the Korean language has two number systems.
And the GIRLS were all like, “Oh my gosh, you are SO right! It’s so dumb! I’m sorry our stupid language did this to you, if I could I’d go back in time and fight whoever is responsible for this nightmare.”
And the GUYS were all like, “Yeah, it’s annoying, but let me create a cheat sheet for you so you know which system to use in which situation, and here are a bunch of counter words that you’ll want to use and the context in which you’re going to use them.”
The Korean and American cultures are so very different, but if you go crying to a Korean girl she’s still going to try to comfort you, and if you go crying to a Korean guy he’s still going to try and solve your problems for you.
People are the same, the whole world ‘round.
#The next morning I was scrolling through my conversations#And it hit me that this is EXACTLY the same kind of reaction I’d have gotten from my American friends#XD#korean language learning

Oct 2, 2023 ・❥・Week 1 Day 2 of prepolygot’s Langblr Reactivation Challenge
Write a list of goals you have for your target languages. Make both long-term and short-term goals. An overall goal could be the ability to talk with a native speaker with ease and a smaller goal would be to finally learn that difficult grammar point that's been plaguing you for ages. How will you achieve them?
Non-Langauge Specific Goals
Watch and listen to more movies, shows, music and podcasts in target languages to practice listening, and repeating phrases back to practice speaking
Buy more books in target languages to practice reading
Start journalling in target languages to practice writing more often
Korean Goals
I don't have too many short-term goals for Korean, I'm more looking at the broad picture.
Reach B2
Watch a movie without subtitles and feel confident in understanding what is going on
Do more speaking exercises to gain more confidence in pronunciation
Focus on vocab more (I know a lot of grammar but it outweighs my vocab knowledge so I can't use my grammar to its full potential)
Japanese Goals
Reach B1
Improve my handwriting - sometimes I can't read the kanji when I go back later to review my notes :') But my handwriting can be improved overall
Create at least 60 vocab flashcards and memorize them by the end of the month (October)
Watch more subbed anime (often I swap to dub so I can do other things and leave the show on in the background. Watching in sub would force me to listen and focus more)
Spanish Goals
Reach A2
Do at least a lesson of Duolingo everyday
Continue watching children's shows dubbed in Spanish - Shout out to Bob Esponja
Focus on Latin American Spanish
Be confident in knowing when to use ser vs estar
Reach Intermediate on Spanish Pod 101

게이PC방 “gay PC room” podcast recommendation - for intermediate/advanced korean learners looking for queer content 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Highly recommend this podcast! This is the first time in my life I’ve ever truly enjoyed and looked forward to a podcast (including English ones).
They have four hosts, all of which are gay men in Korea, and they talk about a really wide range of topics with various guests. In season 3 they’ve been focussing on the “ordinary queer” life (some brief episode synopses at the end of the post), but in the previous seasons (which I’ve not listened to yet) it sounds like they talked about more activist stuff.
Their audio quality is excellent + they speak slowly and clearly (compared to other native podcasts lol). Minimal talking over each other. And their voices are nice to listen to! (No seriously the audio quality is amazing for an amateur podcast because they actually use a recording studio.)
The PC is a pun on the regular definition of PC방 lol, initially I thought they were going to be like… talking about computers? But in a gay way? 😂 but it actually stands for politically correct lmao i.e. they’re going to talk about things with as much sensitivity & respect as they can.
Overall, it’s super interesting, funny, and really just struck a chord with me, esp knowing how Korea is… hm… not very progressive 😬
Their main platform is 팟빵, but they’re also on google podcasts & Apple podcasts. Google podcasts is more user friendly but if you enjoy their content pls go support them on 팟빵 as well! (Also if anyone listens to it and wants to chat about it feel free to PM me! I’m dying to talk to find people to talk to about it. I can probably help you out if you don’t understand sth as well although my comprehension isn’t 100% yet)
~ some episode synopses under the cut ~
ep 52 was about korean bear culture (iirc one of the guests was a bear and the other one was a “stan” (i.e. “standard” guy) who likes bears. good discussions abt body image and stuff
ep 47 was a bit of a catching up w/each other type episode and covered things like attending uni during covid, funerals, korean and french holiday customs, something about christian organisations installing christmas trees in public areas and being bullied away last year(?) bc of people making civil complaints? the kdrama D.P. and korean military service in general, Q-Force
ep 46 talked a lot about kpop and the korean wave because the guest was a french dude who's doing a masters or something in korean culture (he mentioned that - idk if in this one or 47 - that he's looking into the differences between how intl and kr fans perceive homoeroticism in kpop, which i thought was cool)
ep 44 was them interviewing an openly gay korean artist http://yangseungwook.com/ (and going off on wild tangents lol)
ep 40 “queer in Taiwan”. Guest was a korean dude who’d been a tour guide in Taiwan for several years, talking about his experience. There was a good helping of politics as well. If you’re so inclined I recommend getting verified on 팟빵 (super quick, just need to email them a photo of your ID) so you can access the 19+ episode because it was hilarious.
ep 39 the guest was a korean currently living in America who’d gotten married last year. they talked about his life (how he met his husband, how the wedding went etc) in part 1 and then more on the broader issue of gay marriage in part 2.
#(Plugging this here bc fuck reddit & I desperately need to tell more people abt this gem)#korean language#korean#korean language learning#korean langblr#they recently got a logo redesign because they added 매추 as an official member of the team and it's so cute and clean!#and 삼식님 said that they finally got around to it because his partner donated a bunch of money for them to commission an artist#🥺 I just love them a lot#kr

comprehensible input in korean -
i’m a bit of a purist with comprehensible input or monolingual study, but only when the content is comprehensible. with spanish, i've studied the language before, and am watching 'super' beginner CI content.
for korean, i can’t understand anything at all, ever. i can only just understand TTMIK and lingodeer content, and that’s when I have english translations at every point. that said!! please check out Learn Korean in Korean and tell me if it’s not excellent day one beginner-level CI.
it feels the same to me as the CI vids that I’m watching in spanish – there are dialogues, repeated phrases, and pictures to guide you. there’s an absolute ton of videos (compared to every other korean CI channel or playlist i’ve found). also, it’s entertaining!!! it's imperfect as a learning tool, i think, but excellent for practicing listening skills at a very, very basic level.
here’s a link to the first beginner playlist

이번 주에는 더 어휘를 공부하고 있었다.
많은 단어를 여전히 기억해서 놀랐다.
11급 곧 시작할 것이지만 모든 목표를 이루지 않았다… 좀 섭섭하다.
다음 주에 계속 정성스럽게 공부할 것이다.
이번 주말에 친구들을 만났고 재미났다.
올해 더 놀리고 싶다.
아, 이번 주에도 운동을 다시 했다~ ^^
다사다난한 시작이었던 것 같다.
☆ 찾아봐야 했던 단어들
다사단하다 / eventful, busy

This video is only available to people who are members of Acau's ( 악어 ) Youtube, but one of his fans posted a short clip Acau shared of his and Quackity's conversation testing out the QSMP translator!
[ Original Tweet ]
#Acau#악어#QSMP#Quackity#That's so cool!#I cannot speak any Korean whatsoever but I'm very curious and excited to watch him and learn#My language knowledge is English > Japanese > Spanish#which. is ironic since I'm Mexican#but some Korean words sound very similar to a few Japanese words and it always trips me up hearing them#I'm so excited to meet 악어 and his community!!! aaaaa!!!#everyone is so excited I love seeing everyone getting so excited to share information about the streamers they love#Anyways shoutout to Gaby for the heads up about this. They don't even use Tumblr but they're wonderful

ok so i just finished all available episodes & i know i've said it before, but 한글용사 아이야 is undoubtedly the best media for beginner-level Korean language learners.
this is the best episode from the most recent season. it's very emblematic of the best of the show: the girls get into some trouble, call over the Hangul power rangers to fix it, and they fight the villain in cute little skits that help you get vocabulary down. there's also a grandpa, a puppet, visible spelling, and some fun culture stuff (food! myths! politeness!).
youtube
the show is incredibly playful and fun! it teaches some of the alphabet, it's structured & repetitive in a way that's fun for learners but not like, demotivating dogma memorization. there are dozens hours of content available for free, and it's still airing!
#will i ever stop talking about this show? no. just like i'm forever obsessed w/ dreaming spanish#korean langblr#korean language learning#*#korean notes#한글용사 아이야

language learning is such a personal thing that there is no “right” or “wrong” way of doing it. it’s whatever works on bringing YOU closer to YOUR goal.
you want to watch tv shows but don’t really care for speaking with others? yay!! no speaking practice needed.
you want to learn quickly for an upcoming trip? yay! text book phrases and simple grammar.
you’re a beginner and it’s been 10 years? 2 weeks? 6 months? it doesn’t matter. as long as you are working towards bringing YOURSELF closer to what YOU want to achieve, you have succeeded: you are succeeding; you are doing great.
i find that so much demotivation comes from comparison and/or trying to follow other's advice too closely. if anki decks don't work for you, that's fine! if duolingo works well for you, then use it!
this language learning thing, it should be enjoyed. in the sea full of deceptive polyglot stories and videos on top of videos attempting to understand how to learn languages in "the fastest way possible" sometimes we should sit back and ask ourselves, "when is just learning things, enough"?
with that i hope you all continue working towards your dreams! whether you want to become a translator or just watch a few more movies in your target language, you can do it. i know you have it in you.

Look, I knew five languages by age 19 and now I am learning like 3 more. I work as a language instructor and a consultant. If I can give language learners only one advice, this is it.
STOP LEARNING WORDS ON THEIR OWN.
You're doing yourself a disservice by learning lists of "30 words you must know!" "100 most common words!" like it literally means nothing if you cannot use those words in an appropriate context with proper grammar. So what you actually need to do is learn those words via example sentences.
Of course, sentences have more words so you may think you're learning less but you're actually learning the way to use it in context. That's what's important.
Language is about communication, which also means if you want to learn languages, you have to observe how people communicate with each other universally. Native speakers never have a list of words they know and they don't count every single new word they've learned. So why are you doing it to yourself? What native speakers do is listen to the new word, remember the context they're spoken in, and keep using that word in that context. And that's why people go "wait, you can use that word LIKE THAT?" all the time. So you, a language learner, are also allowed to do that. I'm not even saying those word lists are useless but they're the most useful AFTER you've known most of them and are trying to go over them for practice etc. Native speakers do click on those word lists to check out how many words they don't know or to remind themselves of those words or to learn some facts about each word. That should be your goal as well.
Learn sentences. Learn them in context. Do not fall into the "I must know xx amount of words or I'm a failure at language learning" trap perpetuated by bloggers or youtubers or whatever. Have fun with it!

욱. 매일 뇌가 고장이 날 때까지 생각한다!
그래서 한국어로 쓰는 걸 하고 싶지 않다 ㅋㅋ
한국어 수업을 위해 매일 큰 글쓰기를 준비한다.
아마도 여기에서 업로드하기로 할 것지만 신원이 확인되고 싶지 않다 ㅎㅎ
하지만 그들은 다른 사람들에게 도움이 될 수도 있기 때문에 는 그것을 고려해야 할 것이다.
그게 다이다.
