Tips for Beginner Success

We’ve worked with hundreds of learners. Here’s what actually works when you’re starting out.

1

Master Hangul First, Everything Else Second

Spend your first week learning the alphabet. It’s straightforward and opens up everything else. You’re not memorizing thousands of characters — just 14 consonants and 10 vowels.

2

Speak Out Loud From Day One

Don’t just read silently. Pronunciation matters and you’ll remember better by hearing yourself. It feels awkward at first, but that’s completely normal.

3

Use Spaced Repetition for Vocabulary

Review words at increasing intervals. Study new vocabulary on day one, then again in 3 days, then a week later. Your brain retains information better this way.

4

Immerse Through Entertainment

Watch K-dramas with subtitles, listen to K-pop, read simple stories. You’ll pick up natural pronunciation and rhythm. It’s fun, which means you’ll actually stick with it.

5

Join a Learning Community

Find language exchange partners or study groups. Having accountability and real people to practice with makes the difference between casual interest and actual progress.
