Let's delve deeper and answer a few common questions that might arise when learning these new vocabulary and phrases.
Korean has its own alphabet, known as Hangul. Try to pronounce the Romanized words by splitting them into syllables. For example, 친구 (chingu) is split into two - chin and gu.
You can utilize these words in several ways. Here's an example:
저는 건강한 음식을 좋아해요. (Jeoneun geonganghan eumsigeul joahaeyo.) - I like healthy food.
Certainly, Korean language has synonyms, just like English. For instance, for the word 'time', '시간' (sigan) and '때' (tte) can be used interchangeably depending on the context.
Although both mean 'person', 사람 (saram) is used more commonly in every day language and 인간 (ingan) is rather formal, often used to refer to mankind as a whole.
Being consistent, using flashcards, learning from songs or dramas, and regular practice can help in retaining these new words and phrases. Keep revisiting the material until you are comfortable with it.
