I speak Polish, German, Swedish and English. 3 of them are Germanic languages so they were easy to learn because they are so closely related. Polish and German I learned as a child so it was kind of automatic.

Now I have to learn Korean and struggle so much! After 3 months I have learned about 100 words. Any tips how to get to the first 1000 words Ina reasonable time? Especially in a language where none of the words seem to resamle anything from my previous languages.

    Yea, good idea.

    Sorry, I was referring to this other thing I mentioned in a different thread.

    I’ll take a movie dodgeball, any movie where the actors speak clearly is fine, and I watch that once a day for 4 to 6 weeks.

    It boosts my comprehension like crazy, because I’m not just learning new words but my brain’s getting used to recognizing the rhythm and syntax instinctually, but obviously you have to be pretty disciplined to go through with it because it gets to be boring!

    Effective, and pretty rapid learning, but it’s a real jog through molasses for a while there.
