How I memorize words in Korean

This is just a quick video wherein I explain a few of the quirky devices I have used to help me memorize new Korean vocabulary.

I explain how I memorized the numbers "7" "8" a long time ago, as well as the words "gift", "monday", and "important".

I hope this helps some of you learning Korean! I know it's hard... trust me, I know.

Please leave me a comment with your own mnemonic devices and tools!

Thanks for watching and liking :)

I learn things the same way! Thank you!

I was curious, do you have videos or websites you recommend to learn Hangul? I've been studying from multiple websites, but I have not learned how to fully read & translate it yet. Please help! [: I study on my own time!

the spoken language is kinda easy but learning to read & write... that ain't easy at all

[expatkerri]

@bdcxl ~ are you talking about korean? because korean is extremely easy to read and write since it's phonetic, unlike chinese which uses images and characters, there is a limited alphabet in korean :) you can teach yourself how to read korean in about 4 hours!

While I'm sure your methods work well for you, and at the expense of being a little too much of a stickler:

중요 is actually 重要, with 중 here meaning heavy, and not middle.

Working with hanja and their meanings is a great strategy, but for it to work in the long term I feel as though you'd need to make sure you have the right meanings for the characters that make up the word- it'ss help you a lot for example when you come across words like '중대', 가중, etc

You have great fluent speaking in korean!

I learned the Korean numbers (1-10) by sleeping on them. I studied them to the point that I could recite them without looking, then went to bed. In the morning it's as if it was the only way I knew how to count.

I find that studying something right before you go to bed at night really helps retain that information. Must be one of those demonic devices.

wow thank you this is sooo helping me i was all messed up with learning new words  thank you youbare so smart

[xNakashima1992x]

ur methods are so entertaining. I often come up with ways to remember things, but since I took Japanese language courses before i started taking my Korean language course, my methods often relate the words to Japanese. (example is Kajok in Korean is family and in Japanese it's Kazoku, in Japanese if a word ends in a u they often don't strongly pronounce the u and there's no z in Korean so their closest equivalent is a j so they're similar...) yea my methods take a lot of reasoning things out :P

Chocolate is chocolate in Spanish! :D

My friend taught me that 몸 sounds like "mom", and told me that "your mom gives birth to your body!" so, now i remember that 몸 means body. otherwise, i put stickers on stuff; for example i put a sticker saying 거울 on my mirror.

By the way, do you have a good korean/english english/korean dictionary to recomend? I can only find really expensive ones :(
