Not understanding is part of the process

Sometimes when you find it hard to understand native speakers, think of it as collecting real-life language data. It’s hard for you as a learner, but maybe it’s also a new kind of experience for the native speaker because they aren’t used to speaking with a learner. So what you need to do is continuing to learn the language, but also learn how “talking to native speakers” works. What are the parts you always seem to miss? What are the kind of contexts you find the hardest to understand? And then focus more on those areas for a while, continue improving your pronunciation, and seek more opportunities to talk to native speakers! You will also find our Korean speaking app, Seyo, extremely helpful in preparing yourself for real-life interactions with native speakers!
