Well Allison, I would say speak Korean. It better that the person you're learning with corrects you along the way. Maybe at some point you'd copy their language. In my experience I ask my Korean friends to correct me and the kindly do. When I talk they would correct not only my grammar but also my pronunciation, which is just as important. Of course, you should write done memos of it, so you would study later. Mostly with my friends we speak English. But we do translate English <=> Korean <=> Arabic. My friends are learning Arabic so I do help them just like that. It's a good way to learn a language through conversation. It allows you to experience different varieties of how to express feelings.

Hi, Allison! You may want to try out a method that I like to use to teach myself a foreign language. Please look for what I posted with the titles "Questions in Russian". One of them begins like this: I usually learn a language by posing myself questions. In other words I make up questions describing some simple objects, looking up the words that I need... Good luck and have fun! Let me know how it goes.
