I started learning Korean as a hobby during the lockdown. I was able to get a TOPIK 2 but the jump from lower-intermediate to medium-upper intermediate is rough with adult (π ) life coming in the way.
Still, I'm doing it just because I enjoy watching K-Shows and found that Korean was fun to learn!
Plus, you never stop learning a language and even if I already achieved a C1 in English, I'm still discovering new words and grammar forms every day.
PS: I'd like to be informed if a language-learning community is created or discovered!
Iβd also love to join a language learning community! Iβm also currently studying Korean (for around 3 months now) but I havenβt made significant progress regarding vocabulary and grammar :c
May I know which resources helped you with getting to TOPIK 2 level? Iβve only been consuming basic TTMIK content and a bunch of Kdramas
I went to classes with a teacher when I had the time, now I'm with TTMIK too. I also do Anki daily and watch some K-content when I have time.
I recommend you to check this Youtube channel, is great: https://www.youtube.com/@ComprehensibleInputKorean
I just started [email protected], come join us :)
And for your other question, input has worked for me at least. Learning German this last year, I've almost become a full believer in the input hypothesis. I think as long as you just consume a shit ton of content, at the right level, you will get better.
In my experience, hunkering down to just read books (on my level!) has helped my fluency way more than outputting has. Reading is awesome, because it is simply the fastest way to consume content, reading is faster than listening after all.
Sounds like you're doing great! I majored in German in college, it's such a fun language to learn. Others have already mentioned these points, but they're definitely the next step for you, if you're looking to expand your current practice. Language accusation has 4 major components. Reading comprehension and listening comprehension (passive) and writing and speaking (active). Having a practice buddy that can speak with you on a regular basis will move you forward in leaps and bounds. Same for actually immersing yourself in an environment where the language is spoken can also move you sooo far forward. But if you keep on as you are, you'll definitely still learn a lot :)
Sounds good overall. You should definitely also compose some more texts, I think this will teach much more than consumption. Maybe join some communities and discussions over here at feddit.de ;-)
Ive been learning French for about two years now. Consuming media in the target language is good but... there is no substitute, none, for actively having conversations in the target language every day. Seek out a conversation partner! Personally, I moved (coincidentally, lol) to a Canadian French city about a year after I started learning the language. I regularly speak French with people I've met there.
I've seen many polyglots practice speaking languages on ome(dot)tv, though I can't personally say whether it's effective.
