Speak with someone that’s fluent in Korean and good with Korean pronunciations. Tell them to correct you if you say or pronounce something incorrectly. The more you get used to speaking the language regularly in conversation, the quicker you’ll become fluent. You can try finding a Korean club or committee on your school's campus or visit a Korean market or restaurant. Turn English subtitles off and try to understand what the characters are saying. This is especially useful if you don’t know anyone that speaks Korean. If you hear a word that you don't know, write it down in your notes so that you can look it up later. You can also listen to Korean music and podcasts. Write the Korean word on one side of the flashcards and write the English equivalent on the other side. Read the Korean word and try to remember what the English equivalent is without flipping the card over. You can study from flashcards on your own or with someone else. You can put single words or entire phrases on the front side of your flashcards. Purchase a Korean literature and try to read through it. This will help you with your writing and reading. You can also read Korean magazines and newspapers. If you have trouble reading something you can put it into a translator to help you.

summary: Have conversations with people who speak Korean. Watch Korean shows and movies. Make flashcards. Read books in Korean.

If a spiritual community is a good fit for you, they will nurture you in your spiritual life. Often it takes some time to find a really good spiritual community, so check out multiple spiritual communities.  Tell people that you are looking for a good spiritual community. Generally, the best way to find a spiritual community is through word of mouth. One way that you can tell a good spiritual community is by whether the people there seem to have full spiritual lives. If the people who attend the spiritual community seem to be genuinely joyful and excited about their faith or spiritual life, you may want to stick around. Go to activities and events and establish yourself as a part of the community. It is a good idea to do this as soon as you start attending a spiritual community that you like. The longer you wait to become involved the more difficult it will be to reach out.  Avoid spiritual communities that make you feel uncomfortable about showing your true self. If you feel stifled by the belief at a particular spiritual community, you may want to keep searching at other communities. Avoid communities that may seem clique-y or are hard to socialize with. For example, a community with an extrinsic commitment to religion may put more value in religious traditions and appearance over spiritual growth and community. All societies, cultures, and spiritual communities promote this prosocial behaviour. When you do work for others you will often feel more connected to your spiritual life. Service will often help you to grow and change because you will work in places and with people you might not normally come into contact with. You can find ways to volunteer through your spiritual community or a community organization. Talk to your spiritual leader or a community official about how to get involved volunteering regularly. For example, if you have free Saturday mornings you can volunteer at the local food pantry or kitchen that provides meal services for people in need. Prayer and meditation help you to intentionally cultivate your spiritual life. These practices also help you develop both your own discipline and focus. Try to get used to stillness wherein you are not visualizing or communicating with anyone else mentally. Wait till you reach a better state of mind that God has a way to guide and direct you to a path.   Research shows that meditation has many health benefits, including decreasing depression, helping with eating disorders, boosting endorphins and decreasing aggression and hostility in individuals.   Many people pray with other people regularly in prayer groups. Praying with others will help you build relationships with people as you cultivate a healthy prayer life. Start keeping a journal about your spiritual journey. Journaling helps you keep your priorities straight and adds clarity to your understanding of what is going on in your spiritual life.    Write down important or inspirational quotes proverbs from texts to keep you connected and motivated in your spiritual growth.
summary: Go to church, mosque, temple, or a place of worship regularly. Get involved in your spiritual community. Do service for others. Practice prayer and/or meditation. Keep a journal daily, for at least twenty minutes.
