   안녕하세요. 저는 학생이고 지금 한국어를 공부하고 있습니다. 그런데 실제
   한국어 듣기는 어렵더라고요. 그런 경험해 본 척 있으세요? 그럼 어떻게 해결하셨습니까? 한국어로 한 이야기를 잘 듣는 실력을 향상시키려고 하면 어떻게 하나요? 어떻게 하셨습니까?

   제가 쓴 글이 맞는지 잘 모르데 영어로 좀 쓸게요.
   What can I do to improve my listening? I heard “listening to the radio” even if I don’t understand it is good, but how so?

   감사합니다.

     Do you have itunes? You can download podcasts there. ^^
     I would suggest also listening (10-20 hrs every day) for several months. When I did that I noticed dramatic improvement. You can also take short sections and try to make it into a dictation exercise. After you’ve tried to write down everything as best as you can that you’ve heard, upload it to lang-8 and ask some native language helpers to help you!^^

   How should I go about making anki sentences? What resources should I use as a beginner? I have been on the 네이버 dictionary but the example sentences are too hard for a beginner. Have you got any advice? And two more questions, what podcasts do you reccomend? And when should I start writing on lang-8?

     P.S. I’ve already started listening to ‘유인나의 볼륨을 높여요’.

   Hello, I stumbled on your blog while on Lang-8. I’m also studying Korean and enjoy reading your journey.

   Dear Anno,

   You haven’t heard from me before. I’m the Language Marketing and Publicity Coordinator at Tuttle Publishing. If you have not heard of Tuttle, we have been producing quality language books since 1948 and are a market leader for Asian language study books.

   I have identified Acquiring Korean as a prominent online organization and would like to ask you if you would be willing to review one or more books for us. Language learners truly listen to the opinions of important online personalities, like you. I believe we have some great Korean books and would like to hear your opinion. I can assure you there would be nothing transactional about the process. We would send you the books and you can use them anyway you would like. If you want to write about them on your blog, obviously we would be thrilled, but if you don’t that’s totally up to you.

   Please let me know what you think.

   Best regards,

   Mike
