Use that second language in as many ways as you can. Talk to as many people as you can, write in that language as much as you can, and eventually even learn to think in that language. There are many different levels of learning and it takes a great deal of time to get comfortable with what you know. Compare what you are saying between the two languages and learn from the differences. People actually think in different directions from language to language and many meanings can be enhanced from that new way of thinking. Share your language and culture with as many people as you can as well. You can be proud of what you know in your home language, and sharing meaning will only help you understand others as they begin to understand more of you.

When learning any language you need to have someone that can talk with you so that you can practice the correct usage and pronunciation of the words. Leaning a language that is not native to you is always difficult, so start at the beginning just as a baby does.
Learn what is important to you first. Is it important to know how to ask where the bathroom is? Then learn that first. :-)
As you go along and it becomes harder then it becomes more important to find someone to talk to.
So have fun and learn as much as you can.

Anyong haseyo! If you are still in Korea, you should try to read as much as possible (books, magazines that interest you) - this will give you opportunities to expand your vocabulary. Keep a journal and write into it every day and this will keep your writing going. Try to practice your verbal communication with as many people as you can and they don't have to be native speakers. Find a pen-pal to write to. But above all keep practicing. Do you go to a hagwan, if you do try to speak with other students as much as possible.....If you are in North America (US or Canada) then make friends at school with whom you can speak and don't just hang out with other Korean kids. Good luck and keep at it. Chalga

I used to read outloud, it helped me with every aspect of learning the new language, pronunciation, reading, writing, fluency of speech. Also, try to listen to the way people pronounce certain words and repeat them outloud (preferrably when nobody is around, lol), that way when it's your turn to use that word, you'll know exactly how to say it.

Learn a lot of things by heart, it's the most tedious part. Memorize and memorize...
