Yeah, so my question is actually, how do you get to the point where you can consume content in that language? I'm trying to watch videos for babies and struggle to understand it, besides the point that it is so boring that I don't want to do it :D
It's the basic English from school. I see you have started learning Korean for some time, so I just assumed you could. Sorry about that.
As for the content part, maybe try TV shows? Some are pretty interesting. If possible, turn on subtitles as well.
And if it's still boring, don't stress yourself out. Take breaks and do it slowly
Subs are your friend. I studied Japanese got over a year, but most of my vocabulary came from animes and games. Try to find some Korean shows that might interest you. If you are into games, some mmos have Korean voice overs. Korean alphabet is simpler too so it should be a lot more effective for you. Still, if you need to practice reading Koreans make a lot of good webtoons. Finding originals may be a bit harder but give it a try.
Ah webtoons sounds interesting because you get the picture as context with it. Good idea, thanks!
