It’s a start. I will say, as opposed to past dabbling with other methods in other languages, this has given me by far the most confidence in the possibility of actually speaking Korean IRL, but my reading and listening comprehension is not great compared to when I did a month of Ankigooning and watching anime daily. But this is like 1/4 of the effort. I’m gonna do the next 4 months of curriculum they offer, but now I’ll be speaking to Koreans IRL and watching Korean TV as well, and starting to dig into my frequency dictionary and try some reading. I’ve been dabbling for around a year during grad school for fun, but Korean is the first language I feel really excited and incentivized to be able to use, and I’m committed to seeing it through.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a book or video series that is a barebones korean grammar crash course like Tae Kim or Cure Dolly for Japanese?
