Sometimes I draw, edit some videos, translate and make subtitles
I started listening to Korean music and watching Korean TV show since in Middle school. Although I still couldn't understand it at that time, I believe the experience helped me getting familiar with the language.In High school, I started to learn Korean more seriously through books, websites, and videos online. At that time, I learned all the basics by myself.I took a break from learning Korean on my early years in university. Fortunately, there's a short Korean course in my university and I joined it in my junior year. The course lasted for 6 months and I learned the basics of Korean language with a Korean teacher.After I finished the course, I decided to start translating tweets, news, and short videos online to practice my skill. My goal was to improve my skill by trying to translate contents related to my favorite Korean artists and the fandom. It started as a mere hobby, but I started to find the joy in doing it.Because I want to be more responsible of what I translate in the hope of providing more accurate translations, I decided to take another Korean course, which was the Intermediate level course in King Sejong Institute at the Korean Culture Center in Jakarta, Indonesia.Looking back, I think my decision to start translating online was the most impactful thing that helped me improved. It not only requires me to use the language practically and enrich my vocabulary, but also pushes me to be more confident in using my Korean.I believe I'm still lacking, so I still practice my skill through translating and making subtitles.
Here are some resources that have helped me learning Korean.
I hope you can find them useful and help you improve your Korean skill!
