Let's see... The first K-drama I stumbled upon was Soulmate. I was walking past the tv when I heard a song I recognized, Come On (Sket Remix) by Dutch Rhythm Combo. I was shocked. I had been trying to find that song for years! After looking up who sang the song, I looked up the name of the drama that featured it. Soon after learning that it was called Soulmate, I discovered that I could watch Korean dramas online. I watched the whole series from beginning to end and absolutely loved it! I think it's worth mentioning that the soundtrack is great, too ;) So that is what sparked my interest in Korean drama shows. Since watching Soulmate, I've learned a lot about Korean culture in general. Like so many others, Korean dramas sparked an interest in me that eventually lead to seeking out resources to learn the Korean language. I found a lot of materials online to help with my language studies and I think that watching the dramas keeps me engaged and motivated. My goal is to understand enough to be able to watch a show, and know what's going on, without having to rely so much on subtitles. I recently learned the Hangul alphabet and am learning to read and write Hangul. Currently, I am making flashcards to help with studying. I am interested in improving my Korean language skills so I look forward to learning by connecting with others. I want to meet Korean language students and native speakers for language exchange on Skype. To Korean language students ~ don't worry if you don't speak Korean well. We can learn together.

    What was the very FIRST word you learned in Korean?

    For me, it was 그때. I was watching the Korean drama <a class="large" href="http://www.hancinema.net/korean_drama_Soul_Mate.php"> 소울메이트</a> when I picked up the phrase after hearing it so much :D
    What was your first word or phrase and where did you learn it?

    Why are there many ways to Romanize the Korean language? I have seen 형 written as both Hyeong and Hyung. and 언니 written as both Eonni and Unni

    I study independently with a workbook, Mastering Conversational Korean for Beginners. When I want to memorize a word, I search Google images for a picture that I can relate the word to. I actually found that I am able to retain the words that I've learned by associating them with a visual aid of some sort. What do you use to study Korean?

    Would you translate the following? The apple is red. I want to give it to her. I must give it to her. I give Seo Yeon the apple. It is Seo Yeon's apple. We give her the apple. He gives it to Seo Yeon. She gives it to her.

    I recently started my journey learning the Korean language as well, and I agree with Chloe. In my personal experience, I struggled when I started learning Korean because I hadn't yet learned to recognize consonants and vowels. So I am working on recognizing all of the alphabet and letter combinations so I can better read and sound out the syllables.

    What resources are you using to learn Korean?
