Hi; have you gotten a Korean Bible yet? If you read John chapter 1 in the language you are learning, John 1 being a passage which has simple and clear language anyway, you may gradually be able to follow the structure of what is being said.

I don't have one actually. Tried reading it online now and all i could understand was 'God'. But if i keep on reading it, i think it will really help me with fluency and learning a lot of new words. Thanks

I have tried some in chinese but aaah it's harder than a normal conversation.

Keeping it up daily and reading consistently, progress can be made! :)

Good effort; perseverance is good! (and if it's the Bible you're reading, it can be a blessing also!) :)

I just read the bible in English, might use my lexicon but that's about it. :)

I am learning korean.
But I am a lazy learner.
Reading a Korean Bible would help! John chapter 1, for example, has clear and familiar language which might be fairly straightforward to follow.

The Hangul characters are also phonetic and quite straightforward. (It's the politeness inflections in Korean which are, I believe, more complex, right?)
