📚 How much Korean do I need to know to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and exams, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Korean tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.
🔥 Why is Korean so hard and are there ways to learn it more effectively?
Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Korean. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Korean fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand everyday words, have simple conversations, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Korean. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Korean tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Korean?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Korean will take at least 600 hours of study. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Korean or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write by hand and online using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Korean out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Korean classes online.
🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Korean instructor?
In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened Korean tutors with full profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.
🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?
Colleges structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
