Reblogging for reference

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

Exploring conflict to create dynamic, compelling stories.

Generating and refining ideas until they truly shine.

Choosing the right genre to elevate your vision.

Understanding conflict on a deeper level.

Taking your idea and shaping it into a clear, pitch-ready story.

This course is a labor of love, and I’m so excited to share it with you. For a limited time, it’s completely free—because I believe storytelling should be accessible to everyone.

Free Korean Learning Courses! : Part 1

-> These are some free resources I used or heard about a lot to learn Korean and what they include, there's probably way more! I'll make more parts in the future. There's also ratings and pesonal notes about each one, but again they're 'personal' so it might not be the same for everyone! That's why you should always try it yourself first.

-> These resources are or were fully free when I used them, if anything changed and they're no longer free I do not take any responsibility for possible accidental purchases, I recommend to always check first before processing with it.

Here we go:

GoodJobKorean — Full free Hangul Course, 12 Lessons, Videos (with pronunciation, etc) + Pdf Practice sheets (with some vocabulary) + Quizes to see if you understood each lesson.

Rating: 100/10 I tried and loved it, easy to understand and explained nicely. Really useful for beginners learning hangul!

A/N: You may have to rebuy it after a month (not sure because I finished it in less then a month and never logged back in) but It's still free (if not you can always just make another account to get it free again)

GoldenKeyKorean: Free Hangul course, pronunciation + 2H long master course (advanced and basic levels) with 2 pdf books

Rating: I personally did not try this one, but I'm pretty sure it's fully free (at least that's what I've seen), but he often does limited editions/limited time special free courses so it's better to check if the offer is still active and follow his instagram for future updates and courses.

Now Korean Class: Fully free 9 Korean courses with different levels (1-9) with multiple videos for each, explains sentence structures, grammar, counters, numbers, and way more.

Rating: 100/10, It really is free, multiple levels, sooo many different things to learn I absolutely loved it!!

A/N: You just have to rebuy it after a month but I'm pretty sure it's still free (if not you can always just make another account to get it free again). I recently lost acess to it, idk why I think my phone is lagging... It tells me something went wrong to try again later, lol, just in case some content changed etc I wouldn't know.

Koldoristudy: 3 different Free Korean PDF study sheets, 1 Hangul, 1 Vocabulary and 1 winter study, includes Grammar, stroke order guides and syllable blocks,

Rating: 10/10 Loved it, I thought it would be just some pdf files to boringly write hangul/words but It's actually way more! it explains grammar and some useful language rules!

Talk to me in korean: Multiple free podcasts on different platforms + PDF with grammar and vocabulary explained for different levels of learners, 7 days free trial with possible cancelation

Rating: 9/10 It's really good, I'm just not a big fan of podcasts as I have a short attention spawn LOL. I personally didn't try the 7-days free trial but they do have LOTS of different lessons and videos that seem to be amazing and useful.

A/N: personally I find their website really confusing, to make things easier you can try things like just typing "Talk To me In korean (Pdf level _)" on google and the first link should be the free pdf file, etc etc.

Loescen Learn Korean Website: Free Interactive web-based learning, important vocabulary, pronunciation beginner to intermediate level, basic conversation courses and dialogues

Rating: 8/10, so good!! It surprised me, I just wish it went more in deep about things like sentence structures and grammar instead of blindly learning dialogue lines or words without breaking them into steps for deeper understanding of the language.

A/N: works for other languages too!!

Live Lingua: Multiple free ebooks and audio files lessons, grammar, vocabulary, hangul, etc, beginner to advanced,

Rating: 9/10 Covers up a lot of different things like I said, grammar, vocabulary, etc etc, but AGAIN each course covers many subjects and it quickly feels heavy and too long/complicated/takes too much time (personally for me, as an individual with ADHD)

How to study korean: LOTS of grammar and vocabulary, beginners to advanced, multiple lessons, linked YT videos to reinforce lessons, PDFs, etc

Rating: 100/10 explains really well, SO MUCH STUFF, different levels, it's really awesome! Lessons are available in multiple languages and not just English!! However again I find it a bit intimidating as it really has LOTS of things to learn which make it seem hard and heavy...

A/N: Personally I find the website complicated to navigate 😭 just type "how to study korean lesson _" for easier access if you want and It should be the top results

Udemy TOPIK grammar through 100 patters: TOPIK vocabulary, grammar and conversations, 100 grammatical patters koreans use a lot

Rating: 8/10 really good, well explained, but again personally it feels pretty heavy and long, videos in Korean with English subtitles, however there are no English subtitles for "example sentences" which sucks, you need to know some basic vocabulary to really understand the example sentences used there.

Tomi Korean: Free PDF with 430 basic korean vocabulary (words, verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc) with audio files, free PDF Worksheet for hangul learning

Rating: 8/0 Love it, really nice for useful vocabulary but you'll have to willingly study the words cause the pdf only makes you write it once and it's really just Korean-English translations, but it has images so its good for visual learners too! Personally I also found it takes a lot of storage to download everything lol.

A/N: I did not check the hangul worksheet as I can already write and read hangul but little personal opinion/tip; I think GoodJobKorean is the best option to learn Hangul here, specially compared to this one. Yes I did not try this Hangul Worksheet but I believe GoodJobKorean offers more variated content and help (videos, quizes, etc) than what a PDF sheet has to offer, that's my opinion.

That's all so far!

Many of these courses have social media accounts where they post different content and tricks to learn, I'll be making a post about those in the future too!!

If anything changed since I first used these resources or if there's any misinformation in this post, please let me know!

I'm Launching a Free Course for Writers

I'm excited to share with you my first-ever course for writers. It's two weeks long, delivered via email and completely free.

It's called Writing Habit for Life.

Who Is the Course For?

Every writer needs a regular writing practice. Whether you write every day, three times a week or every weekend, you must do it regularly to produce enough words and make progress.

I struggled with this for many years. First, I tried to impose a writing routine on my life. Later on, I figured I needed a writing routine that would fit around my life.

In this course, I share everything I learned along the way — the strategies, tools and processes you can use to create a writing habit that lasts.

If you feel like you don't have enough time or struggle with writing regularly, this course is for you.

Here's the full list of lessons:

How It Works?

The course consists of 14 lessons. One will be delivered to your inbox every day over two weeks. You can, of course, unsubscribe at any time. There's no catch.

Over the first few days, you'll set up your goal and writing schedule. The later lessons focus on building a support system that will help you keep going even when your motivation dips.

I structured the course so you can start your habit on the very first day and build it up as you go.

Sound interesting? Learn more about the course here:

Why I Started This Blog

Growing up, personal circumstances forced me to learn multiple languages at a very young age. But instead of feeling like a burden, I discovered how fun it was!! Over time I became really passionate about languages, but my parents never supported it. They wanted me to study “useful” subjects and saw language learning as a waste of time. Since I couldn’t rely on their help, I had to figure out how to self-teach everything on my own, and I refused to give up on my love for languages (even while constantly being told to just drop it.)

When I graduated, I finally decided to take language learning seriously, but since I still live under my parents' roof, I can’t spend money on “useless courses.” One day, while searching for free resources, I realized how frustrating it was—so much content is locked behind paywalls (capitalism hey!) and finding quality free material takes exhausting hours. I said to myself "How I wish there was a site for self teaching languages with a list of free resources!!" That’s when it hit me: why not create the blog I wish I had??

I started this blog because I know I’m not the only one in this situation. I wanted to create a space where self-taught learners, especially those who can’t afford expensive courses, can find free resources and study tips. Everything is still new, I haven't seen anyone do this yet... and I’m still learning how to manage this, but I hope this blog can be a helpful and supportive place for others who love languages as much as I do!!
