🇰🇷 Create an Effective Study Routine in 4 EASY Steps

Hey, you! I want to share my step-by-step process to creating an efficient language study routine! Since I started learning languages via self study, I've always tried to figure how to best accomplish my goals and I've finally found a method that helps me do just that!

1. Define Your Goals
Reflect on what you most want to achieve over the next few months. Consider all the things you need to do to achieve those goals and break them down into mini goals! The more specific you get with your goals, the better. Make sure that your goals are measurable because you want to give yourself the opportunity to better track your progress.

2. Carefully Consider Your Resources and Pick a Few
The odds are you probably have a few textbooks, websites, apps, and YouTube channels you enjoy learning from. However, now that you have outlined your goals, it’s time for you to select the ones that will best help you in achieving these goals.

Consider the following:
- What is the goal of this particular resource and does that goal aline with your goals?
- How easy is this resource to use? Does it require you to seek outside explanations or practice?

3. Get Out a Calendar and Structure Your Time
During this step you need to decide how you will structure your time.
Will you study everyday or only a few days a week? Is one of your mini goals to to finish a specific textbook over the next few months? If so, how many chapters do you need to work through a week in order to accomplish this?

PRO TIP: Specify at least one day a week as a “REVIEW DAY” for you to not only review everything you’ve learned, but also to catch up on anything you weren’t able to get done during the rest of the week.

Once you have all your mini goals placed on your calendar look them over and ask yourself, “is this something I can stick to?” If your automatic response is “no,” lessen the number of things you have on your calendar to create a more achievable set of weekly goals.

4. Make A Weekly Or Bi-Weekly Plan
Now that you have your monthly plan made, it’s time to write them all down on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule that you can carry around with you. I like doing this so that I can have the satisfaction of checking the tasks off my list as I complete them. It helps me stay motivated to keep going.

My goal is to be able to have a decent conversation in Korean, and be able to read at least 1 page of something that's in Korean. Your such a great motivator Natalia! 💜

[koreantvs]

my only goal is to say a word in korean

[coollittlegremlin]

Oh my god finally actually helpful video on how to make achiveable goals. I'm in college right now and it's not a linguistic college, so i really don't have a lot of time right now (even though it's summer break, i have life and stuff) and watching other videos on schedules made me so upset, because they all are like "FIFTY WORDS A DAY, NEW GRAMMAR RULE EVERY WEEK" and I am a blob that studies slowly and yeah (i also won't have an opportunity to travel anywhere in the next like five years so...)

Your video is really useful for someone like me, who just wants to understand song's lyrics and idols on shows

[has-been-hotl]

This video was made two years ago, but my 2022 New Years Resolution is to be able to text basic conversations back and forth with my Korean speaking penpal !

[okaniedavis]

I always come to this channel when I need to strengthen my motivation.

[haydenbond]

we need to become friends im learning Korean through Japanese lol !!

[zunaidavanharte]

I have to say a BIG THANK YOU!! 🌺 honestly this is the first realistic guide to setting a study schedule. I'm off on vacation and getting my schedule set up. To everyone still study and aiming to study Korean, "fighting"

[jewel]

#2 speaks to my soul lmao. I get so excited by pretty new resources

[malenalucero]

I'm learning korean through japanese and english (my native language is spanish) and yeah, it's really helpful. I've also found that seeing in the dictionary the chinese characters that make up korean words is also useful because most of those characters are used in japanese, so I feel like I already know a lot of vocabulary without even trying, although the pronunciation is different and I have to be really careful with that...

[victoriarhee]

Just wanted to say I feel re-motivated to learn after watching this one!! And the Jan challenge (: I love all your studying-related organizational vids^^ thanks always for the great work!

[laylaheart]

I loved your tips! watching your videos really motivates me 🥳🥳

[sheeliekittie]

I'm so glad to find your channel! My dream is to move to South Korea to teach. Before this, I want to build on my Korean. I feel a bit overwhelmed as there are sooo many resources and endless books, youtube videos. But the hardest thing for me is how to understand Korean tv when they talk so fast I don't want to always rely on subtitles!

[mariaalejandramartinez]

Be my friend!! Your channel wooorks. Currently I am trying to consolidate my french with your tips! You go girl
