hey! while i know this is a beginner sub and i should not be worrying about this right now, but as the title says I'm curious if we can truly ever understand the essence of some korean sentences/words that are profound/deep/complex as foreign language learners.

there are a lot of things that hold deep importance and significance in korean culture and there are many phrases and words that are really beautiful and i have heard natives say that "this singer writes like poetry" or "the feeling he wanted to convey was so magical" to other non-korean speakers.. is there any point in language journey that one can get that feeling themselves?

i find the language really beautiful & rich and I was wondering if I'd be able to speak and consume it/understand it in it's purest/true form ever.

understanding context and getting familiar with the culture might help I guess? would love to know your perspectives, thank you! 💕

I just came out of the exam hall and i don't really know what to feel to be honest? peers who gave the psychology dec 2025 exam said that it was comparatively easier than this 2026 one and everyone previously said that dec 2025 was really hard. while i was able to do some questions well, the majority of them had me frowning cause they didn't deserve to be on there ; they were plain ridiculous. i do think the cutoff will go low this time and I'm scared for the results too.

how was your experience with it?

completed my master's in psychology and now i have to give a competitive exam (net jrf) on 29th june,, I'm really done with my field and do not want to pursue it further but many have told it's good for me and I'm meant to be here. idk what I'm gonna do this year. i wish to get my hands on some work by the end of june, no matter if it's for 2-3 years. being a fresher with 0-1 years of experience also sucks cause everyone just wants people with 5-6 years of experience. i have to start somewhere right?

really lost as to what should i do and how I'll help family and fulfill my own wishes

hey everyone, hope you're doing well!

as the title suggests, I'm a newly psychology graduate (master's, 23y) and I've been studying korean on and off myself for the last 4-5 years but I'm at the beginner level (life always got in the way)

i was thinking of sitting for the cuet ug next year for the ba korean at jnu,, it's 4 years if I'm not wrong.. i was just wondering if that would be a good choice, as a long term decision. would studying the language from pvt classes be better? and then maybe some years down the lane i can do a master's in korean full time?

without doing bachelor's, will i find the master's difficult?

if there's anyone who's comfortable with me dming them about some more questions, please let me know! thank you!
