Note that the interview part of this video was actually recorded around the end of September... Sorry it took me so long to upload it; I'm back in nomadic-mode and constantly travelling again, and my ADHD brain never set aside the couple of hours it would take to make sure this had captions.
As always in my projects, the goal was to push myself and I'm pretty pleased with the level I had after just a few months learning the language, despite not reaching fluency, and especially because this was my first project after mostly recovering from many difficult things in my life like clinical depression.
This video is completely unedited (other than adding the intro in English, and putting subtitles in), unscripted and unprepared, so you can get a true idea of what my actual level was like.

In this video, I give my thoughts on how the entire 3 months went, where I am now, and what I hope to achieve in the next months. I will continue to improve my Korean, even though I won't be doing anything like the level of intensive learning that I had been doing. I'm sick of studying and want to be out practising now that I'm finally in the country!
If you'd like to learn alongside me, you can aim to have your first 15 minute conversation by the end of your 3 months (with way less of a time-commitment than I'm making for this monster project of mine!) Just go to fluentin3months.com/bc for more info on our "Bootcamp" coaching and community programme! Part of the programme includes the community all uploading update videos like this one so we can cheer one another one in how we're progressing, as well as have milestones to see our true progress over time. You can bet I'll be looking back at this video at the end of the 3 months to compare my progress now with then!

In a month, I'll already be in Seoul, ready to use what I've learned.
I edited the class recording to be just some key parts where I'm replying to his questions so you can get an idea of what my spontaneous Korean sounds like. The rest of the time he was either teaching me, or I was going through an exercise with him that wouldn't have been a good demonstration of my spontaneous skills. Or I was just stopped dead awkwardly thinking of what to say 😆. Hopefully this snapshot gives you an idea of where I am right now!
By the way, click CC to active captions in English! If you want to book a session with 신 yourself, first, sign up to italki using my link for $10 free credit at fi3m.com/italki and then go to his teacher account italki.com/en/teacher/6193790.

Korean resources: 1. My favourite by far is 90 Day Korean here: fluentin3months.com/90daykorean It's a very well structured course with lots of "side quests" that help with important aspects of the language, and they include pre-made Anki decks with amazing mnemonics, so I've been absolutely loving it! 2. fluentin3months.com/korean-class-101 Korean Class 101 is what I'm listening to much more now, to help get my listening comprehension up as quickly as possible, since at the moment I only understand very slowly spoken Korean and I need to catch up to regular speed before I arrive in Seoul. Their courses split their lessons up into different levels so you can work your way up progressively harder and get used to it as you climb up the ladder towards naturally spoken speed. 3. http://www.talktomeinkorean.com I'm using their book series as my main book courses to study

This video was recorded three weeks after I started the project (despite the later upload date, since I'm focusing on learning rather than timely content creation!) when my friend Sara was visiting me and I figured we could record a video together.
Unlike in my first video, I couldn't use any dictionaries in computer tabs to help me this time. Definitely still a struggle to answer basic questions, but I survived and can continue my progress from here. I hope you enjoy it!

My teacher preferred not to be recorded, so you can only hear my side of the conversation, but I put in key things she said with a synthesized voice so you can get the gist of how the entire conversation was going. I'll make sure I confirm ahead of time for future videos with someone who is fine to be on YouTube!
I know that using Google Translate as heavily as I was, is hardly the basis to move forward with a fluency project, but the point was more to avoid English and to get initial momentum having SOME form of a conversation, and for that, this strategy worked well! You'll see in future conversations that I definitely am going to be way more self reliant.

You think you're doing pretty well and then your friend seems to be far ahead...in half the time. It can really set you back and even discourage you from continuing to learn. Maybe you stop all together and develop the mindset that you just don't have the ability to learn another language.
All those thoughts are wrong! Everyone learns at their own speed and in order to truly progress past those plateaus, you have to STOP comparing yourself to others. Learn the way that works best for you, not the way that works best for your friend, your neighbor, or some YouTube video star. Whether that's fast or slow, you'll get there as long as you stick to it.
