I really urge you to look at the grammar section if you’re interested in learning Korean in any real depth. In the interests of full disclosure, here’s what you’re getting into:
The Bad News | The Good News |
---|---|
You’ll slow down at first as you remember the rules and paste together sentences. (This will seem painfully slow to you. A delay of one second in getting a word out feels like three weeks. See note) |
As you practice (that’s the key: practice), you’ll be able to apply the rules more quickly. Eventually the rules become automatic and you won’t have to pause to figure them out. |
You’re given the rules for constructing sentences rather than "owning" them by figuring them out for yourself. |
It’s a lot faster to have the rules figured out in advance. Anyway, you can still construct your own personal rules if you don’t like the ones we give you. |
You’ll see some technical grammar terms in an effort to be precise. |
I promise to define the terms in plain language. You’ll get precise terms rather than sloppy ones. |
