Studying Korean I started to learn Korean a few days ago with the Hangul and some words that Korean babies usually speak as i want it's to be a natural process. I wonder if it is a good way to approach it. So,what should I do first when learning Korean?

1.I would use this book for starters(Korean From Zero): http://www.koreanfromzero.com/downloads/download.php?file=Korean_From_Zero_Book_1_2015-04-02.pdf 2.Along with this video series (Korean For Beginners by Seemile): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAR6PIbgTNh132HWl3P0PT1JqIHH0de9A 3. Use a website called Memrise for learning words! Really helpful. Popular choices are learning the 1000 most common words (recommended) and learning the different number systems (there are 2 in the Korean language), different time phrases, colours and animals if you so wish. You can obviously build on the 1000 most common words over time by learning the top 1001-2000, 2001-3000... etc. http://www.memrise.com/course/1614/1000-most-common-korean-words/ 5. If you want an extra emphasis on grammar or just want to see a different viewpoint of other grammar explanations then you can go to: howtostudykorean.com 6. Of course, get in touch with Korean natives who are learning the language you are already fluent in and talk to them as much as possible in Korean while helping them learn your language. :) 7. K-dramas and k-songs are recommend although from my experience subs draw your attention from the actual language. BUT! It's a good way to relax and still be immersed in the language :D Good luck on your language journey! :)

Maybe it's best not to learn from how babies speak since they don't have the most accurate pronunciation. Learn it from talktomeinkorean.com and hear the accurate pronunciations through their podcasts and youtube videos. You may also download some phone apps of korean vocb flashcards which usually has the read aloud function where u can hear the accurate pronunciation. And of course, watch more korean dramas and variety shows even if you don't understand them and need subtitles it's still good to watch them so you hear it more and that you are surrounded by the accent and language and sooner or later you will naturally pick the proper accent .
