I just started a new way of studying Korean. I've been making flashcards so I could learn the words, but I decided instead of having one side in Korean and the other side in English that one side is in Korean and the other a picture of the item or action, so I could associate the Korean word to the item or action instead of to the word in my native language. It seems to help, because that's how toddlers learn, they associate the word with the action or item, not the same word in another language. I've been learning quicker that way!!
