I am repeatedly frustrated by the statement “It only takes a few hours to learn Hangul.” I learned Hangul. I still have to sound out each letter and put them together before I can read a word. It is not possible to learn context and sound out letters at the same time. I cannot read at the speed you are speaking. I cannot read at the speed of any video I have found. Where are the missing steps? Children sound out words letter by letter at first when learning to read. Then go to very simple words. They do not read at speed immediately. I feel like I am losing my mind when nobody addresses the process of going from understanding the sound of a character to being able to string them together - including when position changes the sound- into words. I keep looking for simple simple stories because I can’t learn well without a memorable context. Honestly, reading Hangul at speed and being able to speak are such different things I can mimic you immediately but not follow your highlighted word past a few letters. And when I started learning song lyrics I used romanization, but I try to avoid it now. I know I will go from seeing each letter to each syllable to each word as one unit because (joke but true) I was a professional reader for years and speed read in English. I don’t expect this to happen instantly. I am patient. I am humble. But I ended up leaving a class because I while I believe many beginners were parroting I was trying to read. What do I do, step by little step, to read with help. Doing it all without is discouraging me. I have another issue, that indirect translation confuses me in figuring out what each word means but I don’t know if it’s part of theHangul literacy. I am sorry if I just asked questions that are not appropriate for this lesson. But please help me find the solution to these issues somehow, direct me somewhere? Because I refuse to give up. I probably need a private tutor, don’t I? Sigh.
Actually I was the same as you 2 years back, i took a quiet a lot of while to read even a simple word but then I started reading texts with the list of all the letters kept beside me ..and gradually after like 3-4 months, I could read fast. The thing is you have to practice and keep reading and even though you might be very slow rn, but eventually you'll get speed, especially when you are so motivated that you're not ready to give up...also try reading Korean lyrics of slow, really songs, that helped me a lot! :) And if at this moment, you do not read fast, then maybe the class is not suitable for you, because if you can't read, you cannot expect yourself to understand sentences... But eventually you will get that speed! And once you do, start with simple phrases and in no time, you will be able to keep up with this live..don't give up!! And as for writing once I got the speed, I used to see romanized lyrics of Korean songs in English and then tried to write the Korean version myself...like if you see the word "ga-sa", you will eventually be able to write it as 가사 (ga-sa) in Korean very soon :) So keep going... don't give up!! 😊
I feel a little like that, but Duolingo helped me with reading groups of letters together and sounding out words faster, with repetition type games. I am still slow, but reading things became far easier that way.
I think it’s normal as a learner. It takes time to comprehend the characters and your reading speed will increase with time. I used to not be able to follow along to lyrics to even ballads, but I’m much better at it now. I don’t have a short cut for this though but trust that your speed of comprehension will improve as you get better at Korean. 🥹 Keep reading things and practising. You’re right that parroting and comprehending are completely different.
