How can I say this in Korean? "I speak very little Korean, I'm still learning" Or something similar that will mean the same thing. :) it's just that I'm going to the market tomorrow, and sometimes even if I just ask something simple they will speak a lot haha and I don't understand it. Also I'm really embarrassed about speaking Korean to native speakers, even though my tutor says I don't really have an accent at all when I speak it. :c But still, does any one have any tips? I'm scared even to just say hi or thank you.

It's okay, don't be scared, Emily :) I think most of Koreans are kind and patient to try to understand what you want to say. If you want to say "I speak very little Korean, I'm still learning", 한국말 (아직) 잘 못해요. 배우고 있어요=공부하고 있어요. will be good :)

저 한국말 진짜 조금밖에 못해요. 아직 배우는 중이예요. You know, just korean people dont have much of experience to talk with foreinger, so their laughing when u say some korean is just because they are (kind of) embarressed. And im pretty sure if that Koreans were women, they must be thinking that your Korean pronunciation is cute because that's unnatural. Unnatural is not a bad thing, it sounds more cute becuase that is not perfect. Dont worry too much and keep trying ! When u get used to it, you should be fine. Good luck !

Don't worry :) Once you get started, you'll feel better. You should be proud you can accomplish whatever it is you end up saying, even if it's not much or not perfect. They'll appreciate your efforts too unless they're jerks.
