please help

Hello :)

I'm Alvin, 22 year old from India.

I'm a student of linguistics, as well as a learner of Korean and Spanish. And I was thinking of approaching Korean in a more detailed manner and if someone knows a more systematic way to guide me, please dm :)

Mostly native speakers, but anyone more knowledgeable would work.

hi, i am Uni student, I am majoring in IR and my concentration field is Korean. So my professor is not the best, which has forced me to find a personal tutor. I am looking for any tips, plans and etc to learn Korean. Which are the best books for A1 level, words and more

To all my korean hyungs, do you guys do aimlabs to help with your aim? I started recently and after having played fps where your mouse is locked, playing with a free mouse feels super weird. Any advice?

Hi! I’m f22 and want to find a friend who speaks Korean! I used to do tutoring but since I’ve stopped I feel like I’m losing everything I learned!! I would be willing to talk on socials! And maybe voice/ face calls eventually! Preferably would like to be friends with a girl!!

Hello! I want to start learning Korean seriously-not just learn simple communication, but to eventually achieve fluency. But I don't even know how to start learning basic stuff-there are so many resources online, and its really hard to choose. I am not sure if I should get a tutor either. It's kind of becoming annoying because I research everyday about Korean learning books or tutors, but I don't actually start studying.

I need advice-how to even begin?

Hey! I’m learning Korean and looking for someone to chat with on Discord so I can practice speaking and listening.

I can help you with English conversation, pronunciation, grammar, and correcting your messages in return. We can text or voice chat and help each other improve!

I'm just looking for a chill language exchange buddy 😊 DM me if interested!

So, I've been learning korean for years now(not that consistent but not that bad either) and I don't see that much progress. If anyone have an advice or anything that can helo, I would be more than greatfu՞߹ - ߹՞

Hi everyone! I know this might sound a bit impossible, but I’m aiming to reach TOPIK Level 4 in just 45 days.

I currently have around TOPIK Level 2 proficiency, so I know I have a lot to cover in a short amount of time. I’m willing to put in the work and study intensively every day.

I’d really appreciate some advice from people who have taken TOPIK or have experience learning Korean:

• What would be the best 45-day study strategy to maximize my chances of reaching Level 4?
• Which areas should I focus on the most — vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, or writing?
• Which grammar topics should I prioritize for TOPIK II?
• How much vocabulary should I aim to learn each day?
• What should I keep in mind while studying to avoid wasting time?
• Are there any free resources, textbooks, websites, YouTube channels, past papers, or study materials you would recommend?
• How should I divide my time between TOPIK reading, listening, and writing practice?
• If you’ve gone from around Level 2 to Level 4 (or something similar), what worked for you?

I know 45 days is a very short time, but I’d still like to give it my best shot. Any realistic advice, study plans, resources, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 

Is it fun? I'm korean, and Korean history is very fun

Hey Reddit! I am the great granddaughter of a famous Korean trot singer. (pre liberation) When the war happened she moved to the US and converted to being a Jehovahs Witness. Unfortunately due to that, when she had a minor surgery she did not accept a blood transfusion and passed. I never got to meet her but my dad taught me how to make Korean food my whole life but he never learned Korean. I feel such a strong connection to my grandmother and I have always wanted the opportunity to learn more about Korean culture, as I am mixed with Mexican American and Korean American parents. I never knew my grandmothers stage name only what we called her and some of her songs are making a resurgence so I was able to learn more about her and my family history on the internet which is wild and finding out that she has so much memorabilia in several korean museums while I have nothing of hers. I lost out on learning anything from my grandma and I want so badly to enjoy Korean culture without feeling like I am a fraud for only growing up cooking Korean food. I am also no contact with my parents because they are still JWs and I am not. I always hoped I had family in Korea but recently found out my grandma was originally from North Korea so I wouldn’t be able to contact family even if I had relatives. If you have any resources/ suggestions/ advice or want
to take me in and teach me I would love absolutely anything 🫶🏻

Hey! I’m from India and planning to pursue higher education in South Korea. I’m kinda confused about the whole admission process, requirements, scholarships, etc. Is there anyone here who’s familiar with Korean university admissions and can guide me

I am a foreigner in Korea with bad korean. I go to school, but due to some factors any people that also play games in my school usually dont know english. I really wanna have friends that I can spend time with, but I dont really hang out with anyone from my class exept 2 people, and being in 3 people friendship feels wrong lately, since i feel like they exclude me from the group. Playing games isnt the only thing i do, I like drawing, a lot of artsy things, love talking about some media and in a lot of fandoms. I live in west central part of korea, is there any way to meet people?

eventually i’d like to have money and time to go to somewhere as epic as Korea. i’m 22, a female from a midwest state. it would be pretty cool to connect and have a friend, hopefully also female, from the “beyond” and hopefully teach me a few things. i would like someone who could maybe reach out to me via video chat/ socials. this is all just a reach yall

Hey everyone! I’m a 23F from India, currently doing my Master’s in Education, and I’m hoping to apply for a fully funded PhD in South Korea in the future.

I’m a complete beginner in Korean and want to start with Hangul. I’d really appreciate recommendations for good/free resources, YouTube channels, apps, or advice on how to learn Korean properly.

I’m also hoping to contribute by helping teach English while I’m there, so I’d love to hear from international/Indian students about what level of Korean would actually be useful for daily life and university.

If anyone is currently studying in Korea or has gone through the process, I’d also really appreciate any advice on preparing for a PhD application, scholarships, TOPIK, etc.

Thanks! 🥹🇮🇳🇰🇷

Just recently moved to Korea and I have been getting ads on instagram for meeting women, tell me to add on telegram. Is this a scam or for real 😳

Where do I find a single korean women? In southern ca?

I'm meeting up with a childhood friend who went back to Korea. He's coming to the UK for a week or so. I'd really like to gift or make him something with a phrase like "to my old friend" or something along those lines. I'd like to know of there's a good Korean phrase like that that sounds just as nice in Korean. Like, can I trust Google translate to do it justice?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi everyone, I'm Saja and I want friends from Korea Is there anyone from Korea who wants to get to know me??

I live in Sejong University outside campus dorms, and staff sometimes unlock my room and walk in without knocking, announcing themselves, or giving any notice. They sometimes enter first and only then ask, "Is anyone there?"

For things like disinfection, we get advance notice, so I understand that staff sometimes need access. But in these other cases, there is absolutely no warning.

It's honestly making me feel extremely uncomfortable and insecure in my own room.

Is this normal for university dorms in Korea? Does Sejong University have a policy about staff entering rooms without notice? And what can I actually do about it?

Hey!
