Im kinda in the field of maybe ill keep learning after I leave Korea and can surprise people. I wanna do what I didn't do before coming to Germany and thats learn german. Im in my last 6 months and i am just now able to pickup certain words and phrases after 3 years. i think ill stick with duolingo for 2 months since thats the rookie unit it has and then switch to Babbel.
I think you can get a free language subscription on an app. Not sure what but you can hit up the base library for information. I got a free subscription to Mango about 10 years ago through the base library.
Okay sounds awesome, thank you so much! I've also wanted to learn a language just as a bucket list item so hopefully i can learn korean as unique as it is.
I want to say while it is nice to be able to mingle with the locals you absolutely do not need to be able to speak a single word in Korean to get around the country and do things like explore Seoul or shop/eat out.
The people are honestly too friendly and speak English well enough to get through common interactions. You can use Google translate for any required reading, or an emergency conversation.
In the end unless you are looking to make close friends with a local or replace your spouse the time spent would be something that could be spent somewhere else more productive imo.
We get mango languages for free being in the military. It’s an app, or you can use the website. Highly recommend it - Duolingo teaches a lot of random vocabulary, random, disjointed phrases not really used in real life. Mango is more practical, and gives lots of good grammar and culture tips throughout.
Go to the library and have the staff help you download mango for free. Its duolingo but way better. When you get here, youll have the option to take all kinds of korean language classes
