I want to learn Korean but I have absolutely no idea where to start. For people who’ve actually learned it, what worked for you ? I tried using Duolingo but it wasn't really helpful at all. I wasn't learning anything...after a point i got used to the system so much that I wasn’t really focusing on the words rather just following patterns and playing it like some kind of game. I know Hangul and some basic Korean words. I can read some simple basic words without much trouble.

I'm 22 and I really want to become more curious and well read about the world, but I have no idea how people actually build that kind of knowledge over time. I don't mean knowing random facts or trying to sound smart.

I find myself getting interested in everything like history, politics, science, philosophy, literature, cinema, psychology, economics, random cultural stuff but then I get overwhelmed because there are just so many things to learn. I’ll go down one rabbit hole and then find five more 😂

I sometimes feel like I'm consuming a lot but not actually retaining much.

For people here who are really curious about lots of different fields, how did you go about it? How do you decide what to learn next without getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information available?

I'm a third-year Data Science student working on my final-year research project. The project needs both a predictive model and a deep learning component, but I don't just want another "predict disease" or "house price prediction" project.

I'm looking for a problem that solves something useful for ordinary people, has enough publicly available data, is interesting enough to turn into a research paper.

Have you come across any real-world problems that made you think, "Someone should build a tool for this"?

I've wanted to start a Substack for a while, but I'm stuck I'm interested in literature, films, history, AI, politics, philosophy... basically ideas. I don't want to force myself into one niche if that's not how I naturally think.How did you figure out what your Substack was actually about? Not the topic, but the thread that connected everything you wanted to write. I'm struggling with that right now.
