You really need to immerse yourself in the culture. That's why people who move to other countries adapt to the language much faster. It's definitely difficult and confusing at first, but forcing yourself to do it will help in the long run. If you're having trouble talking to a korean (like straight from Korea) person, try talking to a bilingual korean (i.e grew up in some english speaking country, but is still fluent in korean). Reading adult books is of course going to be hard if you don't have a firm grasp of the language yet. If you're a beginner try picking up some books in korean that are meant for little kids. They're much simpler. Next watch some k-dramas (haha this is the fun part!) you won't be able to speak like a native just from watching them but you'll definitely pick up commonly used phrases and words. What I do with music, is that after I listen to the song, I search up the lyrics and try to translate it. Or if not, i'll look for translated lyrics. Songs tend to reuse certain words and phrases so eventually listening to alot of songs will help you memorize these words and phrases. Even now, when i'm learning German and I come upon a word that I heard before in a song, it helps me remember it that much easier because I've already heard it so many times. This works for grammar too. Whenever i learn something new in grammar, i'll be like "oh, so this is why this sentence in that song was like that!". Hope this helps :) Live, sleep, breathe korean haha. Good luck!

Hi. There are several things that you can do to improve your Korean /foreign language vocabulary. You should study the Korean vocabulary on a daily basis and you can do this by using flashcards or by writing each word 5 or 10 times each. You should write both the Korean words and letters and the English words and letters. As Korean has a different alphabet than English, you will want to constantly practice the new alphabet. There are also several computer programs that will help you learn the Korean vocabulary. Berlitz has some very good computer programs, CDs, tapes, and books that will help you learn and improve Korean vocabulary. Also, there are also many websites that can help you to learn Korean.[ see next answer] The website and online games can be fun and interactive and are an excellent way to build and remember Korean vocabulary.
