I speak Polish, German, Swedish and English. 3 of them are Germanic languages so they were easy to learn because they are so closely related. Polish and German I learned as a child so it was kind of automatic.

Now I have to learn Korean and struggle so much! After 3 months I have learned about 100 words. Any tips how to get to the first 1000 words Ina reasonable time? Especially in a language where none of the words seem to resamle anything from my previous languages.

Does it explain it in your language so you know what the words mean?

Yes, and it's very phrased based, so you sort of absorb the grammar without a lot of explicit rules.

How many minutes/hours per day did you use to do it?

They are 30-minute sessions. I did them in my car during work commute. Many public libraries have them. Here's the first session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eguDJPkjPwQ
