Anyone learning/ learned Korean on their own?

i did this a couple of years ago but i stopped because i became so busy. i tried learning korean on my own because like you, i got too obsessed with korean dramas, movies and music. What i did was collect all my favorite korean songs, printed all the lyrics in korean characters, korean romanji and english translation. i memorized the songs and the meanings. it was easier that way because it was a lot more effective to remember words with music. when i have learned tons of vocabularies using that method, it became easier for me to understand new songs because i already knew what thy were talking about and i have already familiarized myself with the korean alphabet.trust me, when you try watching drama or movies, you will notice yourself not reading the subtitles anymore. it will take time but as long as you enjoy it, you'll learn fast. :D

I have tried a little! I tried to learn a little bit of the Korean alphabet, but I have forgotten everything I've learned since because I wasn't able to put in enough time :/ Now, there are lots of ways in which we can learn; some of which you mentioned in your post :) Youtube is also a huge resource for people who want to learn other languages too, so I would definitely recommend searching Youtube channels. And since Korean culture (most notably, Kpop) is becoming more mainstream and well-known, there are even more resources out there for Kpop/Korean culture lovers :)

aha I had two clasemates from Korea. I really want to learn another foreign language and Korean seems to be the best choice. However, I was so shy that I can't talk to them about my plan. This semester has already been past. What's a pity.

I learn on my own. Well, i know a little. Like Oppa, noona, Konsamnida, Anyonghaseyo. Just a little. I learn it from reading manhwas(korean comics?). Also, I learn it from my friends who are so addicted to KPOP!
