Hi and welcome.

The purpose of this blog is to document how I try to learn Korean with a combination of Netflix and Duolingo. I will mostly follow Duolingo's lesson plan but also do some things outside of that to improve how to understand Karama better. I started getting interested in Korean in November 2024 because I felt I needed an alternative to American entertainment. But changing the language of your preferred entertainment is kind of hard. I can do laundry while watching English language entertainment, but for K-Drama I have to pay attention to the subtitles. So my purpose for going on this learning journey is to understand K-drama without the subtitles.

Please note that if I share links for Netflix, they will only work if you have a subscription. And I am in Europe so I don't know what shows are available elsewhere.

Section 1, Unit 1: Order at a cafe

Welcome to the Korean Duolingo Course. I will show links where the words are said in Netflix because it is nice to hear the words from real people and not the AI voice. I am going to use the Dynamite kiss for examples if I can, but I might also use others shows. If I have not commented on which show it is, it is Dynamite kiss. If you are watching any of those particular shows, I would suggest you make a profile just for learning Korean because following the links will mess up your progress.  The vocabulary Korean English Links  안녕하세요 hello https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037593?&t=823 https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037593?&t=2281  감사합니다  thank you https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037593?&t=299 https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037595?&t=301  주세요  please give.  https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037595?&t=1532 https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037595?&t=1926 ...

Section 1, Unit 2: Order food and drinks

This unit seems to teach the words of some specific types of Korean foods. In this unit we start with various grammar points. Again, I have used Dynamite kiss for examples if possible. First of all because I really love that show and have watched it so many times, it is easier to find things here. Second of all because I want to mess up your Netflix viewing history as little as possible 😜.  The vocabulary Korean English Links Notes 고기 meat   https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037602?&t=1225 김치 kimchi https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037594?&t=1104 두부 tofu https://www.netflix.com/watch/81726590?&t=2277  (Queen of tears) 만두 dumpling https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037596?&t=217 잡채 japchae https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037602?&t=1243 찌개 stew https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037594?&t=1104 뜨거운 hot https://www.netflix.com/watch/82037599?&t=2382 Here hot is used to describe how someone with a fever feels. 뜨거운 hot https://www....
