ABOUT THE ROADMAP
If you’re tired of guessing what to study each month — or quitting after a few weeks — I created a month-by-month Korean Roadmap to guide you step-by-step through the year (introduced quarterly).
This roadmap:
focuses on real Korean (reading, listening, speaking, writing)
balances input and output each month
adapts to your level and schedule
helps you build functional fluency over time
It’s not a strict daily schedule — it’s a framework you can actually stick to.
You can get the roadmap HERE
