need some advice on studying

Hi all! (I hope I can post this here)

For some context, I have completed a year of beginner level course at a Korean Language School in my country (Singapore).

Although it’s been a year, I feel like I have not progressed much despite joining a school and even having a Preply tutor to practice speaking.

In the 1 year of school, I did learn lots of basic grammar which I felt really helped a lot. However, I preferred a 1-1 environment that’s why I joined Preply to focus more on speaking. I’m currently taking a few months break before starting the intermediate course in my school but I have to admit, I kinda lost the motivation to study and realized I have been putting less effort to it as well. I feel like others are progressing way faster than I did in one year, especially all the videos on tiktok where creators show their journey. Like how did they get fluent so quickly?!

So I guess I’m here to look for advice: What are some tips and ways that I can use try from?

I do listen to K-Pop on a daily basis. I’m not that inclined to watch k-dramas for some reason but I do indulge in some from time to time. I know that it’s best to expose myself to more k content and learn from there (I know of a friend who learnt korean solely from watching k variety and dramas) but for some reason I just can’t seem to do. (I blame the undiagnosed ADHD).

If anything, I’m looking for buddies who I can study with and practice speaking!

Thanks for the help in advance

I am looking for a partner who wants to speak American English. I would like to practice speaking Russian. I would love to be able to speak to someone on the east coast of the US, as that's where I live. I am A2 level and enjoy (trying to 😊 ) talking about a variety of topics. I am very happily married and I have 3 grown sons, and am definitely not looking for a relationship.

Hello, I would like you to teach me about the German language, we could speak in English or Spanish. My native language is Spanish but I can understand most of English. I would appreciate if you could teach me since I want to improve my German a lot but school makes it a bit annoying for me.
