Haha, I find your reason for wanting to learn rather amusing, as it's a thousand times easier to gain knowledge about the game itself than it is to learn a whole new language. But I'm never one to discourage multilingual ambitions, so good luck! 잘 해봐요~ ^^

Maybe this will help you. I especially recommend the part where he talks about how he learned college level English in two years (here). And it's a nice, informative blog anyway.

@Kiett It's not about knowledge of the game tbh. To me it's about combining two things I like to do a) follow the pro-scene and b) learn a language. With SC:BW's huge archives I have a good resource of listening material as well.
Thanks Stratos and surfinbird1 for the links. :-)

i'm learning korean right now and i'd say koreanclass101 and talktomeinkorean are two really helpful sites. They both have an abundance of short, audio lessons that range from beginner to advanced so you just basically listen to all of them in order. I have 11gb of that stuff on my ipod and now instead of listening to music, I use that time to listen to the korean lessons.
|
I'm actually doing the same thing. I'm signed up to start taking Korean classes at my university next semester with the purpose of being able to understand Korean commentators, haha! Good luck!
|
Thanks to you two. :-)
@mtvacuum I got myself the book which is used in Korean classes at our University. But I think I will not go by it lesson for lesson and skip between everything I find and this.

I was going to post this ha ha. It's a great resource. What helps is if you can find Korean friends as well.

I have some basic korean articles at my blog: http://raa-media.nl/blog/starcraft2/
Although the series is hardly even worthy of being close to the Korean Terminology thread here on TL, it should eventually get better when I find time ._. .
If you really want to commit to Korean I can definitely recommend the book Korean grammar for international learners. Saved me with the endings a ton, would only go about buying that once you are reasonably okayish at understanding the grammar and sentencestructure though.

did you learn japanese/english through that method?
i feel like ajatt is flawed in so many ways.

@kainzero Not really. I learnt English mainly through watching a lot of movies and reading 99% of the stuff that interested me (web, books etc.) in English. Before I did that I had four years of English in school (I started in grade 8 with self-learning). And with Japanese, I learnt it three years in various classes at University (basic, intermediate, advanced classes, text analysis, translation etc.) and picked up a lot of the stuff that I read on AJATT and something I remembered was good when I learnt English.
And tbh AJATT seems to have it's flaws, but if you could keep at it for 1.5 to 3 years straight you would be near native level.

A simple warning: Korean Brood War Commentators talk really, really fast. Much faster than their English counterparts. not quite auctioneer fast, but an analogy could be made. Don't let that discourage you of course, just I suggest molding an interest in Korean Movies or TV first if you find it too difficult.
