Introduction: Because Korean and Mandarin have similarities, many people begin to learn Korean by themselves. As far as I know, learning Korean by myself is not a simple matter. Besides persistence and perseverance, methods are also very important. I will collect some methods and experiences of Korean self-learners, hoping to help you.

Korean can be taught by yourself, but beginners had better sign up for a training class and have a teacher to teach pronunciation, so that pronunciation will be more standard in the future. It's not too late to learn by yourself after you have a certain foundation. You can learn the Introduction to Korean published by FLTRP. This textbook is suitable for self-study and very basic.

If you want to learn Korean well, you should first pay attention to mastering the rhythm of the language. Pronunciation and rhythm must be accurate, or you will know that no amount of grammar and vocabulary will help-you can't communicate with others. Korean has no intonation. First of all, you have to learn the Korean alphabet. The basic number is only 40.

Korean is a phonetic alphabet. If you learn your pronunciation well in a week or two, you can understand most words and read some Korean articles, although you don't know what some of them mean. Then you can understand Korean songs and watch Korean movies with less difficulty than Korean dramas. If you want to learn Korean well, it is suggested to study it in three stages, so as to spread out the difficulties in learning.
