1. Grammar & Vocabulary Study Tips
- Make your own Grammar and Vocabulary list. Write the grammar patterns and
vocabulary that you don’t know. Make this notebook your bedtime book for at
least 1 week before the test. Make sure to have a look at the list every day.
- Don’t just write the grammar patterns, words and their explanation. Write an
example sentence in front of every entry. Take the help of Naver dictionary and
other sites to find example sentences. You can also write one simple sentence
that describes that word or grammar in your mother tongue.
- Write similar grammar patterns together. Ex: 기 때문에- This grammar pattern
is used to describe reason (Similar patterns -아서/어서, -니까)
- Some words often come together. Write them as a single phrase instead of
writing as two separate words. (Ex: 미소를 짓다, 장갑을 끼다)
- Make a list of Irregular words and understand how they change with various
grammar patterns. (춥다 – 추워요, 듣다 – 들어요)
- Memorize specific honorific words like 드리다, 주무시다, 드시다, 연세, 성함 etc.
Word lists and Flash cards are most widely used Vocabulary learning methods.
Either make a two column table with Korean words in one column and their
meanings in the other (you can also add more columns like example sentence etc.)
or make flash cards with Korean words on one side and their meanings on the other.
Review these words regularly (at least once a week) and mark the words that you
still haven’t learned completely. While reviewing give special attention to these
marked (difficult) words. With time these difficult words will also go to your
permanent memory and then you can unmark them. Even if you think you have
completely learned a list it’s better to review it once in a while. Make a separate list of
difficult words you often forget and review it more frequently. You can also consider
making your own personal dictionary. I am not kidding.
Look up Dictionary
Always keep a dictionary handy and look up for words you don’t know. Try to get
rid of the habit of finding an alternative way of expressing yourself when you don’t
know (or can’t recall) the appropriate word. Looking up dictionary may be a boring
task but it really helps in long term. I prefer online dictionaries of Naver and Daum
over paper and electronic dictionaries as these online dictionaries give you much
more information. Looking up dictionary is even better than asking a teacher or a
Korean because when you see dictionary you don’t learn only one word but several
related word and phrases.
When you learn a word, try to write/learn other words/phrases that are frequently
used with it. For example, If you look up dictionary for the word ‘훨씬’ you will find the
meaning as ‘(very) much, far, a lot’. But you can’t use ‘훨씬’ for every ‘far’, ‘much’, or
‘a lot’. if you read example entries you will find that this word is most frequently used
with ‘ 보 다 ’ , ‘ 더 ’ and adjectives to show comparisons. Also learn various possible
forms of a word. For example – 예쁘다 – 예쁩니다, 예뻐요, 예쁘죠 etc. This type of
additional information will help you learn the appropriate use of the words.
4. Make Associations
Make associations and connections between the new words you learn and
words/things you already know. For example, some word may sound like something
different/funny/interesting in your mother tongue. Or, some words mind remind you
of something. Funny and weird associations are OK. In fact, they are better. You can
also use Mnemonic (a memory trick used to remember things) to improve your
vocabulary retention. Connect words with images, people or events around you,
convert them into rhymes/poems etc.
Using the foreign language words in sentences in one’s mother tongue can also
be a good technique to learn and practice words; and it’s fun. For example you
learned the word ‘예쁘다 (Beautiful)’. You can practice it with sentences like ‘These
Flowers are really 예 쁘 다 ’ . It might sound weird but believe me it can help you
memorize some really difficult words.
