What you need
Steps
Start by accepting that forgetting words is normal. It does not mean you are bad at languages. You just need a review routine that brings old words back.
Pick a small batch of new words each day, around five to ten, and write each one in your notebook with its meaning and a short example.
Make each word personal. Link it to something in your own life, like your job, your family, a food you eat or a place you visit.
Write one sentence about yourself using the new word. Your brain holds on to words that connect to your own experience.
Repeat words over time instead of cramming. Review the batch the next day, then again after three days, a week and a month.
Study in short daily sessions of 10 to 15 minutes. A little practice every day beats one long session at the weekend.
Practice each word four ways: listen to it, say it out loud, read it inside a sentence and write it by hand.
Play the word from a dictionary or app to check the sound, then record yourself saying it and compare the two.
At the end of each week, test yourself without looking. Move the words you know into a monthly review pile and keep working on the rest.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep a running list of words you meet in songs, dramas or chats, then add them to your daily batch.
Say words out loud from the first day so you do not have to relearn the pronunciation later.
Do not copy long word lists. Ten words you can actually use beat fifty you only recognise.
Review just before bed, when a short recall session helps new words settle.
Questions
How many Korean words should I learn a day?
Five to ten new words a day is a comfortable pace for most beginners. Reviewing them regularly matters more than the number you add.
Why do I forget Korean words the next day?
Forgetting is a normal part of memory. Words stick when you meet them again several times over days and weeks, not just once.
Do I have to write Korean by hand?
Handwriting helps, but it is not the only way. Aim to listen, speak, read and write each word so it is stored in more than one form.
