Hello and I am also just a newbie in this forum! Based on my own experience learning a new language is not that easy especially that it is not the language that you used to express and grew up with. Like me when I got married to a Korean there are really fears in my mind on how I can adapt to their language and culture if I am already living in their country. The first time I arrived in Korea the first thing I like to do is of course is to study their language first. Although my Korean husband is fluent in English that is why we do not had any communication barrier but still I said to myself that I should really study their language since most Koreans do not know how to speak English. So how I can communicate with them if my husband is not on my side. There are multicultural centers here for foreign spouses that teach Hangukmal which is the Korean language and I studied for free. In learning any new language the first thing you should do of course is to learn how to write and say their alphabet. If you had already mastered it then everything follows and you can already adapt yourself writing, reading and speaking the language. And one thing that I did is I tried to watched everyday television especially their news and dramas which had their language being written on the television screen. And when I heard new words and phrases I tried to copied it and searched for what it means or I will ask my husband to translate it for me. And if you are really interested to learn a new language you tried at least to have yourself to have conversations with people speaking that language and for sure you will learn fast and easily.
