Should I memorize all politeness lvl from the beginning?

[ivyno19893168]

I just started to learn korean for a week ago and almost finishing absolute beginner season 1.
But I am not sure if I should spend more time on each lesson to memorize all politeness lvls
or only the most commonly used one and then go back to the other lvls later on.

PS. Sorry for sending mail to the tech team about the register problem....
it was solved right after I sent it XD

My humble thoughts on the matter:

Because language etiquette is very important in Korean circles I would recommend always trying to use a polite style in the beginning stages of learning. The issue of polite etiquette in Koren speech is vast and complex. I do not suggest trying to memorize such 예절 (rules of etiquette) outright, but rather practice the polite style as you learn to express yourself and you should naturally come to an understanding of these manners as your skill and knowledge increase.

Thanks for answering

I think its better to recheck all I have learned so far that everything is in poilte style lol
Actually I think I am starting to understand it, but i find some words that are totally different in different politeness lvls.
