[toxic pecan]

I think I'm the same as @amber silo upper begginer/lower intermediate.

@amber silo could Yu put the links in the Learning Korean thread. That way it's easier to find. I'll tag you there

Oh wait this is the thread...lol

[amber silo]

Ooo that’s great~!

I was so confused LOL

[toxic pecan]

So 6 am your time right. Hope it's not too much trouble...if we can organize it a different, let's. But for now at that time. We can discuss at our first meeting.

Sat 7PM EST

[slow geyser]

perf! see you guys

[halcyon tundra]

https://pdfcoffee.com/qdownload/talk-to-me-in-korean-level-1-8-pdf-free.html

[amber silo]

Wait the website has a free pdf verison

Everything on the PDF is on the book.

I bought the books but i stopped after book 2 considering everything in it is for FREE on the website.

[halcyon tundra]

yeah

[halcyon tundra]

i always check online before purchasing any book

most of the material is free and online these days hahah

[amber silo]

I only bought them considering i wanted to try taking notes from a physical book rather than looking at my laptop

[halcyon tundra]

yeah i know that feeling
it feels better
i also tried to print it but my printer stopped mid way while printing soo
i have half sheets printed 🥲 😂

i also started using duolingo
it helps keep me on track cuz it has basic level tests

which helps me know my level

also you can productively "procrastinate" haha 😂

[amber silo]

Do you prefer physical or digital?

Oo duolingo is pretty good for just vocabulary ~

[halcyon tundra]

well i prefer physical but i have to go with digital for now

[halcyon tundra]

yeah it is good indeed

[amber silo]

How come you’re sticking to digital?

[halcyon tundra]

i donno
i just sometimes watch koreanpod101.com yt channel

[amber silo]

Ah i see~ that’s interesting

[slow geyser]

same here! i'll prob print it tbh. thanks for sending the link

saved me

[toxic pecan]

Speaking of them. I think their videos on learning Hanguel is good. @slow geyser you should check those videos out.

[slow geyser]

kk will check them! so much info!!! thanks guys

[halcyon tundra]

they are good
for japanese as well as chinese

[amber silo]

https://talktomeinkorean.com/
Here’s the link to the website as well, i recommended signing up (its free) and starting Level 1

[slow geyser]

ohh really? glad to hear that cause i'm also learning chinese

[halcyon tundra]

Ohh same

[toxic pecan]

Heeey just a reminder about studying Korean Sat 7pm EST together for the first time.

@slow geyser have you gone through some of the alphabet yet?

For each meet up, we can make sure we recap a few letters at a time.

[slow geyser]

heyyy! tbh no. i had no time as i need to submit my paper on wed. So i've been studying for that

sorry! i have midterms and my schedule is kinda crazy rn with uni/classes and work

[toxic pecan]

Ooooh okay thanks for the update

Maybe after midterms we can officially start then? I'm the meanwhile those who can join can join

I'll open a room and let y'all know. For those who can join for now.

But when do your midterms end?

I'll leave this here

[slow geyser]

my midterms end on wed.

so after that i'll be able to join and actually study for korean

but yeah u can def. start with everyone that can join tomorrow

[amber silo]

Apologies, had something to take care of

[toxic pecan]

Oh okay

I understand

Can you hear?

[amber silo]

but dont worry~

[toxic pecan]

Ooh okay.
I'm gonna try fix somethih cause i can hear

Okay i an hear on my end. Im going to play the video now

[amber silo]

alright

[toxic pecan]

I was gonna write notes, but I'll make them in my own time.

[amber silo]

oo i see~ im just reviewing vocabulary rn

[toxic pecan]

Oh good idea

[toxic pecan]

And that's a wrap!

[toxic pecan]

We can watch it again on our own time.

I learnt some new verbs today.

[amber silo]

Thats great!

[toxic pecan]

Yay!

What should we learn next?

Maybe next time we can learn coming Korean phrases. They should involve some of those verbs that was used in the video.

It can also beginner friendly for those who are beginners.

If you guys have any ideas of what too do next please share~

See you again soon~ @amber silo

[halcyon tundra]

hey guys!!
how is it going ??

i am stuck with some mock exams this week :(((

[toxic pecan]

Good luck on those. Just keep focus

And do you best

We looked at the conjugation of verbs in the present tense so there a lot of verbs to learn. we'll just continue next time

When do your midterms end?

[amber silo]

I enjoyed yesterday’s session. I was able to review vocabulary and do listening practices.

Do you have a structured Course Bri?

[toxic pecan]

I'm glad! I'm going to review the vocabulary myself, but tomorrow.

No i don't have a structured course. I'm just hoping we can go though somethings together.

There is an article that talks about the different categories of language learning - grammar, listen etc so i was hoping to use that as a guide. Do a little bit of each category i guess.

[amber silo]

Ah yes. All skills should be learned.

I use TTMIK as my vocabulary and Grammar

Kdramas/podcast/youtube as my listening

Making sample sentences as my writing

Reading Korean stories/texts as my Reading

I would recommend using TTMIK since you’re a upper beginner.

I use Language exchange calling apps as my Speaking

[toxic pecan]

Awesome thanks for the tips. I'll add the idea to my plan.

Thanks a lot

[sterile cedar]

Hi everyone! I just saw this thread and have been trying to get back into learning Korean. Would I be able to join you guys?

[amber silo]

Of course!

[sterile cedar]

Ahh thank you so much! :))))

Is there a structure to this? Like do we come here on a certain day and share what we've done or get tasks etc?

[toxic pecan]

We meet every Saturday 7 PM EST for now

[toxic pecan]

☝️

There isn't a set structure yet. I had planned to make it, but maybe in a few days. But based on the different categories of learning language is a guide.

Grammar, listening, writing, Reading

We did grammar last week but we also took made note of the vocab. https://youtu.be/K7dgMVKPTHw

I think there should some things we might have to do on our own like learning hanguel.

but i'll update you guys the plan and suggestions are welcomed

[amber silo]

Yeah i learned verbs via TTMIK

[sterile cedar]

Oooh ok, thank you

[amber silo]

What’s your level~? If i may ask

[slow geyser]

Heyy! Guys would it be ok to change the time? Cause 7pm is 2am in my zone

[amber silo]

Im fine with studying earlier~

@toxic pecan how flexible are you on Saturdays

[toxic pecan]

Earlier is okay with me now. I've been helping out with some online event, but i don't have to be there that long anymore.

On Saturdays I'm free 12-3pm and then she then after 4pm now

https://tenor.com/view/math-calculator-compute-apuntao-gif-15135897

So 4 here should be 11pm for you...the 12 pm here should be.....

Ah 7 pm....lol
So 12 pm here is is 7pm where you at.

[slow geyser]

Yeah. So what do you prefer

Sorry for the late response

[toxic pecan]

Today is a bit sticky though......but let's study in 2 hours maybe. It should be 12 PM yourtime

which is 5 PM here

[toxic pecan]

omg i fell a sleep

let's try for Monday at 5 PM EST

that should be a better time

today was kinda sticky

[slow geyser]

i def. can't join on Monday. let's keep it on Saturdays

[slow geyser]

it's ok, i figured

[amber silo]

Tbh, I study better in the morning

@slow geyser what’s your timezone

[toxic pecan]

for me, UTC -5 EST

[amber silo]

Yeah ik

We have the same timezone

[toxic pecan]

oh really

[amber silo]

Yes

[toxic pecan]

okie

Yes in the morning would be.

I have a class to teach on Saturday morning at 11 am and sometimes I have to sort out some stuff before. But I am planning to prepare for a few classes ahead of time from now on...so maybe 8 AM would be a good time.

bout if something comes up, I'll just let you guys know

[amber silo]

Yes 6-9 am is best for me

[toxic pecan]

noice

[slow geyser]

UTC+2

eet

@amber silo

[amber silo]

Would 1-3 pm EET work for you @slow geyser

[slow geyser]

yeah it works for me!

[amber silo]

Great~! That’s 6-8 am for us

[toxic pecan]

🥳

[amber silo]

WOOO

[toxic pecan]

@amber silo So you have some korean reading books that you could share with us? PDF maybe

maybe we can do reading next time. That or learning a song

[slow geyser]

kk and i'll try to do the hangul until then from the TTMIK site that you sent

[amber silo]

https://talktomeinkorean.com/curriculum/level-1-korean-grammar/lessons/level1dialogue/

We can read a super easy dialogue

Or

[slow geyser]

yeah that would be nice! i know both of you are in a higher level than me.. so sorry if i drug u down 😓

[amber silo]

Omg thats not an issue at all~! I love reviewing

There aren’t that many korean stories PDFS

But there are apps that allow you to read stories in different languages

App: Beelinguapp

[toxic pecan]

that's no prob at all

[toxic pecan]

nice!
we can try this then

if i find any children's books i'll let you know. We can check out **z-library ** for free books even language text books. Children books, i'm not too sure.

i found spanish children stories there, but i didn't search for korean at the time

[amber silo]

Cra

P

[toxic pecan]

nice
I this app looks really good to use

[amber silo]

My phone is in Korean

배우고 싶어요 - language you want to learn

[toxic pecan]

😃 ~

[amber silo]

I like the vocabulary feature and the audio feature

[toxic pecan]

nice!

We can practice reading and vocab then

we'd have to do a voice call
dont think we can do it in this server though

we make a voice call directly on discord, right?

[amber silo]

I believe so

Yeah all vc’s are muted ;((

[toxic pecan]

i love this app!

what's it called again?

ahh beelingual

[amber silo]

Beelinguapp

I add some unknown words to the in-app flashcard feature

Then i review them after reading

Its definitely good for vocabulary and reading

And listening

[toxic pecan]

cool
so we can do that for Saturday then...i'm looking forward to it 😆

[amber silo]

Absolutely. Although waking up so early on a Saturday isn’t preferable LOL, I’ll try to make it
