Looking for a Korean study guide? I made a roadmap for this year!


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
