Learning #한국어 Korean language. Refusing to be embarrassed about what brings me joy.
Happily addicted to KPop and K-Dramas.

One great way to learn to build sentences when lea One great way to learn to build sentences when learning a new language is to keep a diary. I learned this tip from TTMIK and it really is helpful! Unfortunately I got out of the habit of doing it, which is ridiculous because I can certainly find the time to write a sentence or two daily. I'm going to challenge myself to do it every day again. Today I wrote (swipe to see): 오늘은 날씨가 너무 춥어요. 커피를 마시고싶고 한국어 공부하싶어요. // The weather is cold today. I want to drink coffee and study Korean. (And that's exactly what I did!) I like to play the video stream of a live cam over the Han River in Seoul while I study. They play lo-fi music which is nice, and I can pretend that's my view out the window. 😂 Do you keep a language diary? #koreanstudygram #languagelearning #studymotivation #languagediarychallenge #한국어 #공부
Bedtime reading, bedtime snacking. I can't eat an Bedtime reading, bedtime snacking. I can't eat anything but chips or popcorn while watching a K-drama because I need to constantly read the subtitles or I miss the dialog. I can't wait for the day when I can understand at least 85% of the lines and can actually look down at a bowl or plate for a second! 😂 But I can eat whatever I want if I'm reading a book, and tis the season for pumpkin pie. 🎃 🥧 Chips make greasy fingerprints on the pages and cookies leave crumbs everywhere. Pie understands. What's your favourite study snack or what do you munch on while watching TV? #koreanstudygram #learningkorean #koreanstudies #koreanbook #공부하다 #한국어 #studymotivation
As we get closer to the end of the year (how?! Wha As we get closer to the end of the year (how?! What even IS time?!), I've started to think about goals. I am not as big of a New Year's Resolution person as I used to be, but I think looking ahead with goals in mind can be a good way to stay on track and see progress & growth. I'm currently enrolled in a level one Korean class with a teacher and fellow students (online) but I actually test into level two on various sites including Talk To Me In Korean. I don't mind the discrepancy because having an actual live teacher vs recordings has been very beneficial for me. That being said, since I'm already at a mid-beginner level after getting started in Korean in mid-June, I am setting a goal to be at the Intermediate level (which would be level 4+) before I hit one full year of studying. If I can enroll in an intermediate level class for the summer semester I will be really pleased with my progress. This means that I need to take some time next weekend to consider a study calendar in order to reach my goals. I'm pretty visual so having something I can look at and check off will help a lot. What goals do you have for the coming year? And do you have any study calendar tips? #koreanstudygram #languagelearning #koreanstudy #studywithme #studytips #learnkorean #한국어공부 #koreanlesson #selfstudy
I was off work yesterday (yay random vacation days I was off work yesterday (yay random vacation days!) and it happened to be a beautiful, warm autumn day. Perfect for a bit of studying outside. I wish I could study for several hours every day, it would really boost my progress! I guess I need to win the lottery so I can enroll in a full time Korean language program. 💜😂 Where is your favourite study location? I will miss my back deck this coming winter but I still have a couple of other places that work well for me too. . . . . . . . #koreanstudy #koreanstudygram #languagelearning #studywithme #studymotivation #learnkorean #koreanlesson
I'm a few lessons into Level 2 on Talk to Me in Ko I'm a few lessons into Level 2 on Talk to Me in Korean and I really love the way everything is explained. I am about 1000 miles away from fluency or even being conversationally at ease, but TTMIK is helping me get there. So far I've only been using their free curriculum but there's so much available at no charge that it's amazing. Still, I think in the new year, when I get my work bonus, I'm going to use some of it to get a one-year subscription because I feel like it will be well worth it. Who else is using TTMIK? Do you pay for a subscription? Please tell me how you're liking it! (Bonus photos at the end of my Very Good Dog and the beautiful sky when we went walking after my study session the other day.) . . . . . #koreanstudy #koreanstudygram #languagelearning #studywithme #한국어 #한국억공부 #letsstudy #ttmik #learnkorean #koreanlesson #studymotivation #selfstudy #studytips
Quick study break with my Korean Short Stories boo Quick study break with my Korean Short Stories book. I've decided to use a tip from @nataliaa_garza - when I'm reading a story, I copy down all the vocabulary words that are listed. Then I highlight the words I already knew. Anything in the list NOT highlighted is a word I know I need to work on. Later when I progress and come back to do a review of my work I can see if I've committed the words to memory and will highlight them as words I know. How do you study new vocabulary? Do you have a tip to share?
