How did you acquire the first 1000 words?

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.

  • Are there any in-person classes you can sign up for? I found that to be a big help.

    • I had a online teacher for two month once a week one hour. It was OK, especially it kicked me in the but to really do my homework. But it's somehow very expensive.

      In person I found one but it's during working hours so I can't attend.
