I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to learn foreign languages. I say learn about 100 key words and just start communicating (Tarzan Korean). A few very commonly used nouns, verbs, and adjectives can go a long way.

(I'll be adding more words from time to time until I get up to 100): ************************************************************************* Some common nouns and pronouns: ************************************************************************* bottle 병 byong bus 버스 bus-eu car 차 cha day 일 ill fire 불 bool a glass 유리 컵 yu-ri cup hour 시간 seegan house 집 jib me 나 nah milk 우유 oo-yu minute 분 boon person/people 사람 sa-ram, also myoung restaurant 대중음식점 dae joong eum sig jam room 방 bong time 시간 sigan today 오늘 o-nil tomorrow 내일 na-il trash 쓰레기 suh la gee yesterday 어제 a-jae you 너 na (pronounce "a" as in the article "a": "I mailed a letter.") water 물 mool ************************************************************************* Some common adjectives: ************************************************************************* beautiful 아름다운 ah reum dah oon nice 좋은 big 큰 keun small 작은 jahk eun far 멀리 mal-ree near 의 가까이에 eui-gaggaiae hot 뜨거운 ddeugaoon cold 차 cha tall 키 큰 ki keun short 간결 gahn gyal perfect 완전한 won jan han, or won buck han ************************************************************************* Some common verbs: ************************************************************************* give 주시요 ju-si-yo (great for saying "Give me ..." ex. pencil ju-si-yo. sing 노래 no-rae eat 먹다 mok-da (the "da" just makes the infinitive form "to eat.") meet 대회 dae-hwoi ************************************************************************* Some common adverbs: ************************************************************************* now 지금 ji-geum ************************************************************************* Some question words: ************************************************************************* why 왜 way (easy, sound a lot like why) when 언제 an-jae where 어디 ah-di what 무엇 moo-aht (say it quickly - sounds almost like "what": muat) how 어떻게 a-dah-gae ************************************************************************* Simple but useful key word expressions: ************************************************************************* Where is ...
