It is amazing to see how many resources are available to learn a new language. I first checked out the global studies for resources on learning Korean, but I only found one book and it was the Korean dictionary. This is a really helpful resource for strengthening my vocabulary that will help me have more flowing conversations in Korean with my family and friends. I appreciate how it comes with both Korean-English and English-Korean parts. I will probably use the latter option more because I am more comfortable with English, so I will be trying to translate what certain words in English mean in Korean. A resource that I think the global studios can add are Korean books and/or magazines. I think even children’s books are good because they are not as intimidating as actual novels/articles, so it would be really helpful and less intimidating for new learners.
Other online resources are helpful too. I like Mango because each chapter helps you understand a whole conversation in Korean. I used chapter 1 to help me with learning greetings and formality in Korean. BYKI guided me to an option to have a new Korean vocab word/phrase emailed to you everyday, which I signed up for to help me increase my vocabulary. Two other online resources that I found are study tips on Pinterest and a Korean matching game.
