With Korean culture, the context is everything."Shibal" can frequently be found in Korean dramas or songs. Coincidentally, it is a modifier and ends with a superlative.
In everyday language however shibal will also be employed as an expletive, a profanity of course that is far from suitable for polite society.Yet its acquisition allows one to grasp the full breadth of Korean words, is then not immediately from usage itself.

I too find it hard to begin learning Korean, but after a few months it starts feeling pretty comfortable. The key is to throw yourself completely into it. Watch K-dramas, listen to K-pop, chat with other learners on the Internet (for example via KakaoTalk), and download a language app such as Duolingo or Rosetta Stone.
To give my learning a shape, I bought a language workbook. I would recommend "Korean Made Simple" by Billy Go. It's easy to read and gives you a good beginning.

In Korean culture, 'Hyung' is a term used by males to address an older male in a respectful manner. It is commonly used among siblings, friends or colleagues and symbolises a hierarchy in the Korean society. It is typically used in casual and informal settings. Hope this helps you understand the Korean vernacular better.

Korean characters are based on Hangul, the official script of South Korea. Hangul is an alphabet system consisting of 14 basic consonants and 10 basic vowels, making a total of 24 letters. But combined these can make as many as 11,172 characters. In this way - a stupendously effective but easy to learn code - any sound in the Korean language may be reproduced.

'Jagi' is a term of endearment used extensively in Korean culture. It's similar to using 'honey' or 'sweetie' in English. Loved ones use it to refer to their partners. So, if you see it in K-drama, it's all about affection!

In Korean we say '네' (Ne) or '예' (Ye) when we agree or want to say 'yes'. Also, for an informal setting amongst close friends, you can say '응' (Eung). But remember, in Korean language, it's all about respect and formality levels.

'Oppa' in Korea is used by female speakers towards older males. Often it is used among siblings, although friends and romantic couples commonly make use of it too. The meaning of usage variations are based on the relation between the speaker and hearer. It could be dear or honey.
If a girl calls her local boyfriend "Oppa", then she generally conveys an affectious nuance in her voice. It's not enough just to use a phrase like this. You have to do it right, and respectfully. This is after all, in South Korean culture norms of age and respect (juniority) weigh very heavily.

According to Hangul (hangeul), the letters of my name in Korean are written out. However, while English names use one's surname followed by a given name, the Korean version will have the surnames last followed by a given name. Take me for example. If my name were Peter, it would be written as `피터' in Korean. It is not exactly the same in pronunciation, but close enough to understand.
