Part 1. Introduction.
What you can and should do is… review the guide, remind
yourself and put ideas into action.
Doing SOMETHING.
That’s only thing that will help you learn Korean fast… above
anything else.
You don’t need a higher IQ. You don’t need much intelligence. If
you think you’re not “talented” or “smart enough” to learn, you’re
only stopping yourself.

Because if you were truly “smart” – but couldn’t get your butt up
despite all that you know – how smart are you really? Not very.
End of story.
You want to learn Korean. You feel excited. Great. You ran out
to buy a book. You say you’re motivated.
…thats it.
Sure, enthusiasm helps a LOT but what will you do when you
run out of it? When you’re tired? When it’s 2:30AM? When
you’re sick? When you have “other” things to do?
You don’t “need’ some magical, invisible feeling just to sit down
and get started. What you need to do is lift your hands up…
push yourself up… and Stand up. Movement. Action.
You need to stop reading this, sit down, get a pen, and do work.
Done.

Shut up. Yes, I said it. I want you to shut up and read this story
because it’ll give you a great mindset of how to learn.
Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself.
“It is overfull. No more will go in!”
Like this cup, Nan-in said, you are full of your own opinions and speculations.
How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?

can pull out of it? Think to yourself.. “what are the good
points here that I can USE?”
Get it? Think to yourself.. “what are the good points here that I
can USE?” Force yourself to find good points. And you WILL get
value out of any resource.
Let go of opinions.
It doesn’t matter.
Failure comes to those that slack off, get lazy and stop.

Put it out of your mind. It’ll only stress you out and burn you out.
• Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the
visible. ― Tony Robbins
• You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new
dream. ― C. S. Lewis
Yes, it’s good to set goals. So, I won’t leave you hanging and
tell you an easy way…
Look…

• how to study
• what to study
• when to study
• until when…
• etc., etc.
This is where 99% of learners fail – they aim for the goal of
fluency – don’t realize how much time/effort/work it takes – and
they get tired, quit… or “life” gets in the way.
And when you are arguably fluent, you’ll still be thinking “ah, I’m
still not good enough.” Ok, enough of that.

If you can stick with this… your goals will grow every month.
100 words for the first month. 100 words for the second month.
(now you know 200). 200 words for the third month (now you
know 400).

Add a deadline.
Yes, If you want to get into the habit of learning Korean you
need to … sit down… and write these goals down. Get used to
writing them out. Let them be imprinted in your muscle memory.
Let’s take the goal of “Learn 100 words by the end of this
month.”
So, 100 words for a month - that can be 25 words a week. Now,
you know that every week, you need to master 25 words.
And in a day? Let’s say you only study for 5/7 days of the week,
that’s just 5 measly words a day.
See how small and realistic this goal truly becomes? 5 words!!
Okay, now take your schedule/paper and pen and write down:
Again, if you want to get into the habit of learning Korean, you
need to write this down. You need to let this stuff simmer in your
brain. And you need to get used to writing it out and planning
your goals…
Wrote it down?

Now stick to it daily. I can’t help you here. Only you can. But,
coming back to this guide can be a reminder of what to do.
Part 9. On Failure.
Failure is quitting.
Maybe the goal is too unrealistic for you. Maybe you wanted to
learn 500 words in a month but realized you can’t do it with your
schedule.
Aim lower. Aim for 300 words. Aim so low that you can hit it
and so that you can get on track.
So, if you fail - if you don’t hit 500 words or 5 minutes of Korean
conversation - DO NOT aim for a bigger goal next time.
Failure comes to those that slack off, get lazy and stop.
Don’t stop.
