It’s still not too late to make the commitment to learn Korean! One way you can do this is by watching Korean movies. If you’re not yet comfortable with your listening skills, you can still enjoy watching Korean movies by making sure there are subtitles. That way, if you come across any words or phrases you don’t know, you can just peek and look at the subtitles for verification. Here are some movies of 2010 that have topped box office records.
