how do you learn korean ??
lol i actually took classes for two years when i was 13 (2006~8). but yeah here's what i did to get better.
a) in the beginning stages, i printed out song lyrics (i have a stack of folders with 2-300 songs :|) and practiced singing along until i could read hangul fast.
b) i fell into (then) obscure fandoms like bigbang (try mentioning bb in 2006 haha) and epik high, and NO ONE TRANSLATED SHIT so i had to do it myself.
c) when tablo hosted dreaming radio, i listened to it every day, subbed some stuff, translated his cyworld entries, translated his blonotes.
d) i made a me2day, forced myself to update it at least twice a day.
e) remember when youtube didn't exist. remember the struggles of clubbox. hardsubs? softsubs? jfc who has time for that let me just watch things unsubbed.
f) i'm terrible at watching dramas, so even if i watch it subbed, i'll usually be multitasking. eventually i just listened to dramas instead of watching it.
tldr: idk 8 years of listening, watching and reading korean will do that to you
