Because I have a background in Korean, I have a general idea about the sentence structure of Korean. However, because I only have knowledge from daily conversations and not from technical knowledge, I would know what sentence structure sounds right, but I would not know why and what rule is behind it.
To acquire the information I need, I do think some self-study from online resources or books are necessary to learn some of the rules to realize why the sentence structure in Korean is the way it is. I also think listening to news broadcasts, or more difficult videos will be helpful, as I can pay more attention to some more difficult sentence structures.
I do think a reference grammar will be useful in that it will be another resource for me to use to learn more about grammar, which I do not have a lot of background in. Explanation of structures in phrases, clauses, etc. will be extremely useful in that it is not something I could necessarily learn from watching videos, or talking in Korean.
