But using social media can help you gather quick, useful words and phrases.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have time to read our blog, please come visit us on <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/learn.korean\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/koreanlanguage\">Twitter<\/a>. We have a &#8220;Korean word of the day&#8221;, which is incorporated into a useful sentence. By building your vocabulary bank, you will start to create your own sentences\u2014once you&#8217;ve mastered grammar rules, etc. Here is a good Korean grammar tip to start off with:<\/p>\n<p>Remember, in Korean, the sentence structure is <strong>Subject + Object + Verb<\/strong>. In English, it&#8217;s Subject + Verb + Object.<\/p>\n<p>To help you learn Korean through social media, I started a few Twitter conversations and hashtags: #Korean, #KoreanWordofTheDay, and #KoreanTipOfTheDay. But, for purposes of simplicity, I will use the hashtag, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search\/realtime?q=koreanlanguage&amp;src=typd\">#KoreanLanguage<\/a> going forward. You too can start your own Twitter hashtag to catalog your Korean vocabulary or conversations! If you need any help along the way, please send <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/lindasauce\">me<\/a> a tweet!
