Need advice on how to progress more efficiently in my Korean study..

Along with what everyone else is saying, immersion is KEY to learning a language quickly. While it may be difficult since theres not very many resources, I suggest doing whatever you can to completely immerse yourself the best you can. It forces you to learn the language. As one commenter said, maybe watch shows in Korean, with subtitles for a bit, and concentrate on what/how they are saying something. Then once you get more and more confident with listening to native speakers (this by the way should be along side learning more vocabulary), try to ween yourself off subtitles. Another thing that helped one of my friends is that they listened to audiobooks in the car and when they were heading to bed. As you learn more and more grammar and vocabulary, you pick up on common sentences and phrases and it also improves your active listening skills and comprehension. I'm in the same boat as you, but I promise if you keep studying and immerse yourself you'll improve so so so much c: My mom is a native Korean speaker (she never taught me Korean growing up, so I had to learn on my own since she's forgotten a lot) and she gets surprised every time she hears me speak Korean since my pronunciation and knowledge improved within like, a month or so just by forcing myself to learn the language that way.
