I am deep in the phase of vocabulary acquisition in the Couch to Korean Challenge, and I have been investigating the options for flash card apps for my (Android) phone. I am a firm believer in the power of flash cards to learn and practice vocabulary, and fortunately flash card technology has advanced significantly since the olden days when I created a set of handwritten paper cards to study for the SAT.


Carlos has been using the Memrise website, while I have opted for the Memrise mobile app. We recently had a fun conversation about the pros and cons of the website vs. the app, and you can listen to that conversation here:


Memrise is an example of a spaced repetition software (SRS) program, in which a large set of vocabulary items can be studied at regular intervals in order to improve long-term recall. Memrise provides a very nice SRS implementation that is particularly suited for language learning. It manages the frequency and spacing of each vocabulary item, so that the learner can focus solely on learning the words. And because there are a huge number of vocabulary sets already available within Memrise, the learner does not even need to create the word lists in the first place. Memrise has tightly integrated audio so that every word can be both read and heard each time it is studied.


Rather than simple, old-fashioned flash card flipping, Memrise provides several different modes of study for a vocabulary list. The learner can follow the built-in Memrise app sequence of study or can select a mode directly.


The Memrise app does a good job of mixing up the ways in which words are presented for study. The written word can be presented (in either language), with a set of 4-6 possible translations. The spoken word, or its written translation, can be presented, and the learner must then type the word.


As a flash card fan, I am definitely enjoying the ease of use of the Memrise app and the fact that Memrise takes on the entire management of the word lists and the scheduling of the word presentation. I find I can then focus all my energy on learning the words instead of creating and managing flashcards.


I started with learning the Korean alphabet, Hangul. I found a great YouTube channel that got me to completely learn Hangul in more or less 24 hours. I made flashcards for all letters with one side Hangul and the other side as Hindi alphabet (my native language) because the sounds matched more than they did with English which made getting the pronunciation easier for me.


After learning Hangul, I was introduced to the advanced Korean alphabet with double consonants and hard alphabet rules (받침). I was almost about to give because they were really complicated to remember but somehow, I kept going.


Towards the end of week 1, I started to learn from howtostudykorean.com lessons. I completely dropped romanizations and tried to write and read more Korean. But, the howtostudykorean.com lessons had too much in every single lesson, making it hard to keep up. At this point, I made a list of all the free Korean learning resources I could find.


I started spending more time learning Korean than my academics because I enjoyed figuring out new grammar lessons. I could understand Korean by relating it to my native language, Hindi. The grammatical structures and pronunciations were somewhat similar.


I tried to read small Korean passages to improve my reading and speaking because that was one of the areas I was struggling the most in. I also improved my listening skills and tried to understand the native Korean accent by watching K-Dramas on Viki with the learning mode on.


This week I stumbled upon a tweet that was asking for people interested in forming a Korean study group and I instantly replied to the OP after which they added me in a group direct message and later to a Google Classroom where a few of the more experienced learners shared material and did their best to clear our doubts.


The study group later evolved into a discord with many members and regular Korean learning sessions. The organizers even arranged weekly quizzes to test our improvement and would give us some kind of homework that every day for consistency, ALL FOR FREE!


My Korean study group did a longer quiz to determine the levels we were at to give us a better learning experience and out of the 6 levels in the group, I was already at Level 3 with my knowledge of a few grammatical structures and a lot of random vocabulary from K-Pop songs and K-dramas.


After the 30 days were over, I tried having a conversation over chat with a native Korean twitter friend. Even though it was a pretty basic conversation and my friend had to compromise a little, I was able to understand most of the conversation though I did make a few guesses here and there.


For my second goal, I tried to watch an episode of one of my favorite K-dramas, Best Mistake. The episode was only around 10 minutes long but understanding it was way harder than I had anticipated it to be.


Before we begin, find the best tips, methods, and strategies to learn this language in our Best Way To Learn Korean article. Lastly, remember that the Fluent Forever app and Live Coaching program create the most effective, proven way to learn Korean.


The Korean alphabet, Hangul, is relatively easy to memorize, with only 14 consonants and 10 vowels. On the other hand, Japanese has three separate alphabets, and some characters can mean specific terms or words!


Your native language can impact how long it takes you to master a specific language. For example, native Spanish speakers tend to find Italian and Portuguese relatively easy to pick up as a second language because of the similarities the three languages share.


The methods you choose will either slow down or speed up your Korean learning progress. For example, strategies and tools like apps that teach you vocabulary through direct translation can be rather ineffective.


On the other hand, methods that teach you pronunciation and use flashcards with images to learn vocabulary will accelerate your learning speed. Read more about why and how the Fluent Forever app teaches pronunciation and vocabulary through immediate feedback tests and flashcards.


The more time you spend studying Korean, the faster you will learn the language. Additionally, if you consume Korean with podcasts, stories, films, and series in your free time, you will speed things up even more.


A good approach is to break down the Hangul in chunks and study each one in 15 minute sessions a day. This will give you enough time to learn and review the alphabet, without rushing and committing to the whole thing in one go.


If you spend 30 minutes to 1 hour a day studying Korean, you should be able to hold short conversations in the language 90 days after you start. To achieve this, you should focus on the most frequently used words in the language.


For example, if you want to learn Korean to speak with your relatives, you can focus on everyday phrases and formal speech. If your sights are set on discussing K-pop drama with friends, shift your attention to K-pop-related words and phrases.


Active Recall Flashcards are great for active recall, a process where you actively engage your memory during learning. By flipping a flashcard to recall the meaning of a Korean word, you enhance your memory retention significantly.


Spaced Repetition Spaced repetition involves reviewing material at increasing intervals. Flashcards are naturally suited for this method, helping transfer words from short-term to long-term memory effectively.


Start with Basics Begin with fundamental words and phrases, such as greetings, numbers, and essential verbs. This foundational vocabulary will serve as building blocks for more complex sentences.


Include Pronunciation Korean has unique pronunciation challenges. Ensure your flashcards include pronunciation guides, either through phonetic spelling or audio clips. This helps you master the sounds of the language early on.


Spaced Repetition Software (SRS) Utilize digital platforms that employ spaced repetition algorithms. Tools like Anki or Quizlet help you review flashcards at optimal intervals, ensuring better retention and recall.


Consistent Practice Consistency is crucial in language learning. Dedicate regular time each day to review your flashcards. Short, frequent sessions are more effective than long, infrequent ones.


Supplement with Other Resources While flashcards are highly effective, supplement your learning with additional resources. Use Korean language books, online courses, and multimedia content to gain a well-rounded understanding of the language.


Understanding and pronouncing Korean words correctly is vital. Romanized spellings, which represent Korean sounds using the Latin alphabet, can be incredibly useful, especially for beginners. However, they can also become a crutch that hinders advanced learners.
