To type faster: stick to 두벌식, enable Korean prediction, and do 10 min/day of simple dictation (fake Kakao messages).
Mobile
Use the native Korean keyboard or a clean IME. Learn where ㅇ/ㅎ/ㅏ/ㅓ are without looking. Prediction helps but doesn’t replace muscle memory.
Desktop
Set a shortcut for FR/EN ↔ KO. Type full phrases, not isolated letters. Stop staring at the keyboard after 3 days.
10-minute drill
Type 10 daily phrases (thanks, where, how much, on my way…). Time it. Repeat tomorrow. Speed comes from targeted reps.

Tip
Send yourself 5 Kakao messages in Korean daily (even to a secondary account). Real context beats abstract drills.
