《Korean Language 101》My story + Other resources
Advertisement
:
As I said before, I'm a learner too. I am nowhere close to being fluent in korean- in other words, consider me on an early-intermediate level.
I started learning in 2019. I saw an alphabet chart that I have put here in this chapter for you all.
After I had practiced the alphabets, I moved onto words.
I looked for apps and found some that bored me. Duolingo too. It wasn't helping.
So I kept looking for apps, youtube ain't much helpful- for my beginner self it wasn't.
I found an awesome app. Though I lacked vocabulary, I still did learnt a lot of grammar. I'm not a grammar person sorry ;) its kinda hard for me to learn it but the app helped.
Then I started looking for native speakers to talk to. Then I heard about how people went on that app called "Hello Talk" so there I was. I met awesome people there (a reminder: the koreans there aren't as awesome as you'd be expecting. They ghost a lot.)
For developing the native accent and the right pronunciation, you'd have to watch korean dramas or reality shows. Personally, I think music is not helpful to learn the accent or the sentence structure- it is useful for vocabary building.
Now I do have a "talk to me in korean" beginner pdf book. I never visited their website but I heard its really helpful.
And here I am. Passing my knowledge to y'all.

The hangul chart I used:
Proven to be the most helpful app:
Keyboards:
1) AlKeyboard
2) Naver smartboard (comes with a translator and spelling/spacing corrector)
That's pretty much it, 안녕♡

The Time Tower (the first visit)
****** There are certain universal desires, and chief among them is the desire to possess a button that will allow you to turn back time. The answer to all your problems. They thought that they had discovered the means to achieve the secret desire of their hearts. They thought they’d discovered magic. But we know that magic does not exist. Not in the way that most people wish it would. It was only an illusion. You cannot turn back time. You can only move forward. ****** Only two truths are certain. The Tower must come down. That is their only goal. Pima isn't certain that it's even possible, but when the task falls to her, she must try to set aside all her past fears and failures to reach into the past and change the future of the world. That's the first thing truth: The Tower must come down. The second is...It knows you're here, and it doesn't like being disturbed. ****** Note on the subtitle: Think of The Time Tower as a television mini-series. There are multiple parts, and sometimes you have to wait for the next one. Apart, they are somewhat short. Together, they are longer than a regular movie. This is part one - the first visit to The Time Tower.

South of Guadarrama
A novel set in Cordoba X century during the Umayyad dynasty. Among historical figures such as Al-Mansur, and the Sultana Subh or Aurora, using her Latin name, mingle fictional characters interwoven with historical facts, that will make you go through loves, betrayals, emotions, and the dangers of Muslim splendor of time during the Islamic conquest of Hispania in century X. Two plots run in parallel; the first involving the attempt to rescue the power to Hisham II, overshadowed by Al-Mansur ambition and the second in the intricacies of the famous Al-Zahara Palace Library, when the discovery of a manuscript of the Koran can change the destiny of Islam and of its faithful. The Sierra de Guadarrama is a mountain range of Central System (mountain range of the center of the Iberian Peninsula) and was south of this chain of mountains that stood the Muslims domains based in Cordoba. As the Wattpad does not allow automatic inclusion of footnotes, I have informed at the end of each chapter the explanation of a typical ancient expression or personage that can generate doubts. Check the end of each chapter to see if your doubt is explained there.Classified as an adult, according to WattPad rules, because it involves one sex scene, not described in an explicit way, and contains episodes of violence. It does not contain pornography. Cover art by Camila Rodrigues (https://www.wattpad.com/user/CapistaCamila)
