I read somewhere if you learn the 100 most popular korean words that makes up 80% of the language. im trying to get started learning korean but I dont know where to start. It is a bit overwhelming. Ive started by learning one phrase per day but I dont know if this will work because I will know what the phrase means when I say it but not the individual words. So I wont be able to understand a conversation?

i am lost how do I even get started learning korean. I thought about learning I word per day and in 3 years that will be over 1000 words. But how will I know how to put them together? or do I learn one phrase per day. But will I know what the individual words mean? Im lost need some help
