I’m really enjoying my foray into Korean so far. My current learning strategy is:
– Flexi Classes to talk with a native speaker
– Lingodeer to fill in the gaps
I definitely feel progress. I can read Hangul (albeit slowly), I can build basic sentences and have a fairly simple understanding thus far.
When I move to Korea I will spend as much time as possible with Koreans to try and absorb the language.
HOWEVER - I have one thing that has left me still dumbfounded. Using a Korean keyboard. I’m having an absolute nightmare trying to type basic words.
I’ve struggled on both phone and computer
Any Korean students or natives who have any tips for me here?!
As for the left hand, I memorized these words / phrases, which line up with the Hangul:
TOP ROW:
복잡다기 쇼: complicated show ( or use “beach ducks”)
MIDDLE ROW
무늬 유리 호: embossed glass (pattern + glass) plus the sound “호” (rhymes with first line)
BOTTOM ROW
카툰 차표: cartoon ticket (or use “ket-chup”)

I found this video really helpful to type in Korean on a phone keyboard
Skip to the 3 minute mark for the helpful stuff

I remember on Mac you have the option to show the keyboard layout on screen, then I would just slowly find the corresponding key on the keyboard to type words not fast but with practice I could remember the letters’ placement
