How do I study for a Korean class?

Setting up a time to learn is much more important than the time you spend with it. Making your Korean study time a habit can help you be consistent and improve quite rapidly. 

Usually it is hard to find a moment when we want to learn a new skill, but the problem here is not the amount of minutes we have, but the priorities we have made. Putting your Korean study time-slot next to something that you do consistently, for example a few minutes after lunch, can help you make studying Korean a consistent habit in your routine, and that routine will be key for you feeling prepared when you go to your Korean class. 

So primarily when wanting to be prepared for something, we are ultimately talking about having good and consistent habits. A private Korean tutor can help you stay focused and consistent in your learning Korean habits. 

Your teacher can also show you different ways to relate to learning Korean using games, conversations, etc. All of this will help you feel more connected to the language and ultimately more prepared for your class.

Learning  Korean by watching movies

Learning a language is all about being immersed in it. When it comes to learning Korean, for example, there are many options you have at your disposal; you could listen to a podcast, you could watch the news. But when it comes to movies, it may be difficult to find the one that fits your level. So let’s take a look at movies and TV shows you can watch that might be easier to understand. 

If you are taking Korean lessons, probably your teacher has already recommended Old Boy or any movie by Park Chan-wook. Park Chan-wook is one of the most famous filmmakers from Korea. He has made a trilogy of movies centred on the theme of revenge; Old Boy is the last one of these three. The first two are Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and the second is titled Sympathy for Mrs. Vengeance. 

If you are not so into the theme of vengeance, you can watch a very cute movie by the same director called I'm a Cyborg. This is a strange, but cute story of a girl, who thinks she is a robot. 

A movie that is a great time and that doesn’t have the issues of being hard to understand is Memories of a Murder by Bong Joon Ho. This is a murder mystery with very funny characters. It is an odd mix, but I assure you that it has the right balance between comedy and drama. 

Obviously, the most famous film by this director is Parasite, winner of several oscars. Bong Joon Ho is incredible in this film in terms of direction. This film is also a film that is not hard to understand. This is the story of a poor family that pretends to be highly educated people in order to provide services for a wealthy family.  

This is one of the benefits of learning with a teacher. Your Korean tutor can suggest movies or TV shows that relate to you, your interest and your sensibility. Learning with a Korean private teacher is the best option when you are looking for personalised, tailored lessons.
