🔥 Why is Korean so hard and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Korean. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Korean tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.
🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Korean?

The required duration of time can differ quite a bit depending on your current level of Korean or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Korean out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Korean classes online.
🤳 Can I pick my own Korean tutor?
In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, of course! The largest selection of verified Korean tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
