What are free ways to learn Korean?
I have a dream of visiting Korea and taking dance classes, going to a concert, and whatnot. Yes, I am one of those people who like k-pop and the culture. Literally so amazing. First, before I do travel to Korea, I have to learn Korean, but anyway I have tried, and it hasn't stuck in my head. I want to travel to Korea when I am 18, but whenever I try to learn Korean, it never sticks in my head/brain. #CV23

There are many free langauge learning options. Duolingo had a Korean course, for example. They're are also very many free resources available on Instagram and YouTube for learning Korean grammar and vocabulary. It would also be helpful to visit the website of Korean newspapers/magazines/etc. to see if they have a translation or Korean language learner setting, which provides a dictionary/translation/subtitles for the content.
As with most language learning, it works best if you have a frequent communication partner to help you. Have you tried finding a pen pal or online tutor? There are many native speakers who offer virtual tutoring and conversation partner sessions for a fee if you are willing/able to pay. Especially if it's been tough getting it into your head, it's extremely important to be consistent. Whatever method you choose, practice listening/speaking and reading/writing *everyday.* Try to watch a simple K-drama or Korean commercial without subtitles, OR find ones with Korean subtitles so you can self-pace your learning of grammar and vocabulary.

Learning Korean might be slightly difficult for non-Asian people as vocabulary is much different. There are some free videos on YouTube but the structure is not well thought. I found a free course on Coursera that follows the same outline as the courses taught in Korean universities. Here is the link to the free basic Korean course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learn-korean.
