self-study korean: how i take notes 

I'm 60 years old and a retired doctor, so I've had many years of taking notes! I started studying Korean this year after getting into K-Pop and K-dramas because my brain is being immersed in Korean and I thought it was a good time to study it. Also, learning a new language is supposed to be good for keeping your brain healthy, and I definitely want to do that. I really appreciated seeing your video on how you take notes for learning Korean. I'm also using the TTMIK series so seeing you use those resources was especially helpful. In my studies to become a doctor, I used some of the same techniques you do for organizing your notes, but it has been many years since I've studied a language, and taking notes on vocabulary and grammar is different from taking notes on a scientific subject. Your suggestions of how to group things and to use different notebooks were very helpful. Your notes are so neatly organized and your handwriting is so pretty! I've been using a separate notebook just for vocabulary recently, putting the vocabulary from all my sources into that, and I've found that to be helpful for me. I have a lot of stickers because I use planners and make scrapbooks and cards, and I think I need to make my notebooks more fun too! Thank you so much for this very informative video and I subscribed so that I can follow you in your progress.

0:46 1. use separate notebooks for each resource 1:32 2. organise printouts in different blinders/folders 2:48 3. use your favourite size and type of notebooks 3:04 4. skim through the lesson at least once 3:24 5. write main points on a post-it note 4:10 6. make titles stand out 4:17 7. start a new lesson on a new page 4:39 8. divide different sections for grammar, vocab , etc 4:59. 9. make bullets to make summary 5:11 10. your explanations should be written in your own way of understanding 5:36 11. make a lot of examples 6:39 12. use highlighters/pens for main points 7:13 13. make learning fun 7:38 14. do practice problems immediately after

I am a Korean (it was my first language) I am so proud of all of you, for learning my language

im studying korean too and wow ur notes are so neat haha mine is basically just doodles here and there 😂 i also like grid notebooks bc it makes it easier for me to write syllable blocks hehe

HOW ARE YOUR NOTES SO PRETTY?!?!! THEY LOOK LIKE A PERSONALISED BOOK

I am also self studying Korean so the advice you give is really effective and really helps me… Love you handwriting it’s so cute and really like the way you take notes it really encourages me to keep going thanks 😊 please do continue uploading study Korean with me videos.... will always support you❤️

I'm self studying korean at home by taking notes and by PDFs.. I can't buy books bcoz they are not available here. But yeah if you are learning a new language, take your time, it can't be possible that u can learn everything and a new language in a week or month, it takes time so don't get pressured over it! All the best! Hope to see you soon in a kpop concert Haha

I can't trust myself on a grid notebook. My writing will not be in a straight line🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much for this! I remember watching one of your Korean studying videos that inspired me to learn Korean in the first place. I’ve been quite occupied the past few weeks, but watching this makes me even more motivated! You have no idea how much this helped. Thank you 💜

Perfect video for me❤️ I actually needed to find an effective way to take notes! Thanks Unnie❤️

Omg, your handwriting is so neat! I think you can even scan and sell it online. 글씨체 너무 예뻐요!!! 감동!!!

Hey! So i am from the UK but i am mostly Iranian and i am trying to learn Korean, i always struggle pronouncing them and when some people in my class found out they started laughing and saying ill never learn it, i took my book to school and in my breaks and free-times i would study and what shattered my heart was, when i was front of a puddle, i had a piece of paper in my hands and i was studying but suddenly this girl called Sarah came up to me, kicked my leg to get my attention, i finally looked up and when i took my hands of my paper to smack my head because of annoyed i was she quickly grabbed it and dropped it in the puddle, i got so mad so i went to tell the teacher but we had to go to class, since the teacher would not bother to listen to what i was saying i went to her and there was a huge puddle behind her and i was like “do that one more time and ur face is in there” i stormed off, after like 3 hours in being in class it was home time, i arrived home and told my mother about what happened, she told me that i should not listen to them and she would do anything for me to achieve my dream of learning Korean, she told my dad and he said come home and see what is on the table tmrw, next day when i was home i saw a blanket with bumps on it, i took it off and saw notebooks,pens, and my first talk to me in Korean book! I saw one of your “ how i self-study Korean “ videos and it helped me a-lot! Please keep making more and more of these! ily 💓

This was much awaited ... Kumavoyo unnie❤️

1:25 I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets confused with pure Korean numbers... its so tough! But great job and keep working hard! You got this! Also I wish I had your handwriting so pretty 😍

wow your notes are amazing but so very practical !

I already visited Korea once but I decided to seriously learn Korean since I understand that English is really not enough to go there… I know how to read the alphabet and I know the basic conversations but I really need to improve my skills…. Thank you for your inspirational and qualitative videos!! 🥺

lmaooo, my native language is Spanish, I'm learning Chinese, I'm watching a video (and writing) in English about Korean and I got an ad in French. fate?

I love your handwriting and notebooks so much. Please make a longer video about your taking notes on those notebooks. It heals and uplifts me so much just watching your taking notes 🙏❤️🙏

This will be helpful for me as I'm trying to figure out how I should make my notes

These are some great tips! I already have a notebook for each of my online classes and textbooks. Your vocabulary and grammar notebook is an excellent idea. I love how neat and organised you are, I aspire to this. Your notes are so pretty! 🥰💜

Your videos are so aesthetic unnie 😍 Love them...

This is very helpful! I've been trying for a while to find an organization of notes that can work for me, and indeedtaking notes and rewriting them neatly really helps me.

I think after your videos I got a lot motivated cauz sometimes it becomes to study Korean cauz exam and my school notes always distract me and I got no time to learn Korean but now I you motivated me as always 💜 gomawoyo 💜👍 Saranghae 💜🌈

The excellent video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

Your notes look really cute unnie..😍😊😊♥️

How satisfying watching your process! Thank you for the tips!

Omg your notes are so amazing , you handwriting is so cute and organized omg !!!!

I love your voice!!! and the way you take notes are beautiful.

You make me motivated to study Thankyou

First day when I knew this RU-vid channel I really thought that was printed and now only I know that it's your handwriting unnie you are so awesome 😙 I am 12 years and thanks for you unnie now I am also interested in learning Korean and writing neat handwriting 💜💜💜💜

grid paper has always been my favorite. :3

☆things that make my notes neater: ~use a pen, not a mechanical pencil ~read the lesson before starting to write it (helps with organizing) ~use markers only when needed! we're learning korean, not doing a color book ! ☆hope this helps

Thankyou it really helped! Love how u give information so detailed!! Your voice is very cute and clear! 🦋❤️

The whole book is soo neat and beautiful.😍

I really like the way you present the things and that you show it in live how you do it. I always did my notes like you but in a more messy way because i had no time to take my time to write it cleanly, but I understood even like that what I was writing. I think when it's a new language you automatically doesn't want to make mistakes so you don't write fast 😂 and concerning korean i don't know why but i'm sure it's like a therapy feeling to write it 🥰 I like the way you also do the vocabulary parts, it's really clean ! I need another pen i think, mine is too fatt 😐 And for the stickers it's a really nice idea, i never used some before ~ I have to order some 😂 I saw you also use Washi Tapes ~ i love those tapes I need some too I think i'll prefer them for sectioning chapters or main titles etc 😊 One thing I recommand is to use especially one type of color like blue colors for gramar, Orange colors-type for Vocab etc so that you view easier things. And your brain will automatically arrange it better 😊 When i'll start learning it (very soon) i'll also use one separate book or the end of one to make exercises like tests/mini exams. I heared it's really really important to try in a consistant way if you remember the words and check it after a few days again or weeks Let me know of what you think about this 😊 Ps: I also use the same size for notes, i love that size dunno why 😳

I am addict to this channel

글씨도 예쁘고 공책 정리도 너무 예뻐요!!!! 😍😍

Thank you so much Ann 💜 for this video 💜 I needed this because I want to make notes like you 💜😊 Borahae 💜💜💜💜

감사합니다 💜💜💜

allthingsann: "i prefer keeping a separate notebook for practice problems since things can get messy when i make note on my mistakes" proceeds to show a perfect notebook with perfect handwriting 🥺😳

This has nothing to do with notes but I recommend miss Vicky for self learning korean she is a wonderful Korean teacher!

I envy your handwriting! So neat 💕

i love This Channel So Much Ty!!!

Omo you r so underrated 😱😬

Hi, would you please make a video about how to self-study Korean based on syllabus or more like a lesson plan on how to study Korean by yourself. Like what should we learn first and what comes next. I would like to know since sometimes I get overwhelmed by all this sources and not sure which to focus on first. Like how are you able to memorise the alphabet and how it sounds and looks like so fast.. Even after a month I still weren't able to do so. Please if you have some tips or secret do help. Me.

Watching this video it gives me an idea of how I should and want to take my notes, in a way it's easier for me to understand. But also, I realized ... when taking notes I should focus more on the hangul and the english meaning, rather than also writing down the romanization. I think in the past I've used romanization too much as a crutch and never fully understood the Hangul for itself.

I was actually studying Korean long before like last year but I stopped cause it was pretty hard and now im learning Japanese and I found out that my notes for Japanese are way better than the Korean one no wonder I didn't understand Korean properly my notes were all over the place and scattered everywhere there is no topic at all so I don't even know the topic lol but while im learning Japanese I wrote neatly and added all topics and subtopics which made it easier once learning a bit of Japanese I will learn Korean im learning Japanese because of anime and their songs and I want to go to Japan one day anddd I want to learn Korean because of bts first and I wanna visit Korea too!!

What to say ! You are my Korean world! Keep it up 😀😊👍

Thank you for this, really worth 💗

beautiful note!~ Good luck to you!👏👏👍 from Korea.

Your voice is so soothing

You write so fast..👍✨sometimes i think that you have increased the speed of video💕😃

It's so inspiring 😭❤

My notes are like rough work n your notes are like projects 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜✌✌✌✌✌thanks for it

This is very useful video for me you can tell me all things I need Thanks❤

I’m learning Korean and French, I already know French but need to get better but I don’t know any Korean so this video really help

Waoooo I really love your notes. I will apply this in my Chinese studies.

I don't have very things and a good writing but by this things I improved alot

Can you post a photo or go through all your notes to where someone can copy them please?? Nice video 🍓✨

This was super cute and helpful, thank you for sharing!! Fighting the urge to redo all my notes...lol

note: if you want to add colours and little doodles do so as if the page looks boring you will find it boring but: stick to one colour per page/lesson. keep the doodles simple and small and out of the way or make it so they have a purpose, like displaying items or a conversation

감사합니다!!!

Can you make a video on How you always this motivated in case of studying

Your nails are so pretty!

Hi i love it Can you make a video about all materials that you are using for studying korean?🙂 I love you notes soo cute

I am korean learner and it so helpful for me and other korean learner

So aesthetic 😭❤️

I love your all videos and this is helpful for me to learn Korean❤❤ Where are you brought all these stickers please tell me I am also take notes as you?

Here are the tips that worked for me : 1.while talking notes pronounce the words and try writing them in the English and Korean forms for convenience 2.to make your notes look fun use skeath pens and stickers it makes what you are learning is fun and cute too look and write at 3.but bullet points for the pronunciation and the Korean and English meaning in the book 📖 4.practice the phrases and the meanings for better learning 5.don’t lose hope and keep writing and learning Korean because it’s way easier once u know Hangul (Korean alphabet ) and everyday write and pronounce and stick with the goal u want to reach 6.Make goals for you to reach example : I need to be able to talk in Korean and make a conversation 7.best of luck for your Korean learning experience 💜

I loved your nailss❤️ PS I am aware I commented alot bit honestly I couldn't control myself
