Once you learn the 한글, well, it only gets harder from there. Now you have to learn words and sentences then you have to form them by yourself. I will say though once you know the 한글 it's better because you can read anything you want and learn words a lot faster. But sentence formation is not easy. Korean sentences are not like English sentences. If English is your first language the first thing to remember about Korean is it is S.O.V. (Subject> Object> Verb). And that's just simple 3 to 5 word sentences.
I have actually had some trouble myself when it comes to simple sentences for everyday conversation. Now, I will admit I have been lazy for the past year when it comes to my study habits. But I want to pick back up. I'm also real picky though. I have a study book but I feel like it's old and outdated. I want to get the Talk To Me In Korean books (1 and 2) but they are about $20 each. I got lucky enough recently to find a youtuber who is doing a great job of teaching sentence structure and conjugation. You should check her out if you feel you are at an intermediate level.

Honestly though the best advice I can give to the intermediate learner is to not give up. Also don't be picky and don't try to be perfect. You are going to mess up. A lot. it's all part of the process. Just give it all you've got and study til you drop. It will be worth it in the end.
