I speak Polish, German, Swedish and English. 3 of them are Germanic languages so they were easy to learn because they are so closely related. Polish and German I learned as a child so it was kind of automatic.

Now I have to learn Korean and struggle so much! After 3 months I have learned about 100 words. Any tips how to get to the first 1000 words Ina reasonable time? Especially in a language where none of the words seem to resamle anything from my previous languages.

I'm doing the flashcards but only with the word in Korean and English. Perhaps I should add more things to it.

The mindmap I've never heard of it, but it seems interesting because you make clusters of words in topics. I will try that out too.

Thanks for your practical tips!
