Methods

  1. Don’t just study vocabulary, try to add culture and grammar points to the mix. Also, when you learn vocabulary words that have a chinese root, learn it (Korean spelling) and see what other words use it. You might be suprised how easy it is to pile on words when you learn a root.
  2. Keep a pad where you write down daily vocabulary and grammar and peek at it throughout the day.
  3. Put any audio (music, podcasts, etc.) on your MP3 player and listen in your free time.
  4. Keep a language learning blog! It helps you focus and serves as a history of things you have learned that you can look back and review or reference.
  5. Try looking through or editing this wiki.
