Firstly, about Korean grammar
For Grammar, there is no alternative but to pay attention to teachers' lectures, and if you have any questions, ask immediately to avoid confusion between grammar structures you have previously learned. Be diligent in doing a lot of Korean grammar exercises at home so that this grammar becomes a habit whenever you want to speak or write it. It's best to have a small notebook to summarize and record grammar issues studied systematically, easy to follow. Note that under each section, you should add at least one typical example for easy review.

Secondly, about Korean vocabulary
For those who are unfamiliar with Korean, they often think that learning Korean is difficult, especially the writing because the characters are quite pictorial
However, in reality, when starting to learn and then gradually becoming familiar with the Korean alphabet (Hangul), you will find it quite simple, easy to remember, and easy to memorize. The letters, when combined, form complete words, written as they are read, similar to Vietnamese. The important thing is that learners need to be truly persistent
Thirdly, about Korean writing skills
Regarding Writing, you must read many articles. If you do not have the opportunity to interact with Korean articles or writings, you can read them in TOPIK exams. They often write very standardly, so you can learn the secret to writing more Korean-like, avoiding the style of foreigners when learning foreign languages.

Fourthly, about Korean listening skills
When practicing listening to Korean, first try listening without looking at the questions. Try to understand what the content is trying to convey, then read and answer the questions. If you listen several times and still don't understand at all, it may be because your vocabulary is too limited or your pronunciation of vocabulary is incorrect, resulting in not understanding native speakers properly. In that case, read the script, look up any words you don't understand in the dictionary and memorize them. Then, while looking and listening, see if they pronounce correctly according to what you read. Once you get used to it, gradually close the script and listen more and more. Repeat many times until your listening ability and vocabulary improve, then this skill will no longer be difficult for you.
