How did you acquire the first 1000 words? (piefed.jeena.net)

I speak Polish, German, Swedish and English. 3 of them are Germanic languages so they were easy to learn because they are so closely related. Polish and German I learned as a child so it was kind of automatic.

Now I have to learn Korean and struggle so much! After 3 months I have learned about 100 words. Any tips how to get to the first 1000 words Ina reasonable time? Especially in a language where none of the words seem to resamle anything from my previous languages.

Anki and some pre-built decks at my level. I'm sure there is something for Korean out there.

OK, so that is what I'm also doing but god damn it it's so slow because I feel for some words I need at least 100 times of it showing up so I remember it :(

I had a quick look and found that yomitan supports Korean as well. This won't help your reviews directly, but it will help with being able to quickly look up words when you're trying to read something.

EDIT: And a dictionary to use with it.
