Hello! I’m Jina, a Korean language instructor living in France.

In this episode, we are joined by our new guest, Haerim, making our conversation even more special!

Along with our regular members, Rie and Hayoung, we share our personal secrets on how to stay motivated and "long-run" with Korean without giving up.

I hope our discussion provides joyful motivation and practical tips for everyone studying Korean! 🧡

In this 8th episode (Part 1), we dive into the real-life know-how of three learners who have consistently studied Korean for anywhere from 7 to 20 years. From how to handle days when you don't want to study, to shadowing tips for mastering a native accent, and efficient ways to memorize words through context!
