Let me explain
화이팅!
Memrise
Improvement Areas : Vocabulary
Plan: Simply active memorisation of words; I hate this task, so I might only do this 2x or once weekly.
Goal: Vocabulary expansion
Shadowing TTMIK
Improvement Areas: Listening and Intonation
Plan : I will be listening to one IYAGI episode daily for 1 to 2 weeks until I know all the words in its transcript. I also hope to learn the “music” of the language my Imitation
Goal: Vocabulary expansion; Increased speed at reading the transcript
Current IYAGI Episode : Priority Seating For The Elderly – 노약자석
Read a webtoon
Improvement Areas: Exposure to slangs and more commonly used terms
Plan: Read a very interesting webtoon ( 1 episode) so as to not get bored. No attempt at memorising words since I will be using the “Shadowing TTMIK” plan to absorb new words. This is just to increase my exposure to the words that I have already learned.
Goal: Repeated exposure to already learned words
Current Webtoon: 좋아하는 부분 &여신강림
Blog about read episode
Improvement Areas: Writing, Summarizing read text, vocabulary
Plan: Write a short summary of the episode I read on the previous day, using my own words. This lets me actively use words I already know and increase my experience with these known words.
Goal: Active usage of known words
Describe episode and upload on youtube
Improvement Areas: Usage of known words in speech
Plan: 1 – 5 minutes long audio clip describing the webtoon or some topic I studied on during the previous days.
Goal: Investigation of problem areas during conversations; Improvement in speed of vocab recollection;
Translate random Korean Youtube
Improvement Areas: Listening; Vocab; Accents
Plan: Pick a video; check if the “add translation” is public
Goal: Exposure to known words; Improvement of listening; Exposure to different Korean accents
Youtube Channel: Oluwatimilehin
Read random naver article, watch documentaries on youtube
Improvement Areas: Reading advanced texts; Listening to official clips;
Plan; Read text once; no need for re-reading; no active learning of new vocab;
Goal: Improvement of grammar
Recommendations: Naver School (seems less advanced) , Naver Wedding (for romance lovers), EBS documentary, MBN Entertainment, 뉴스TVCHOSUN
Naver’s today’s Korean Conversation : week review
Improvement Areas: Grammar; Phrases
Plan: Actively memorise phrases not words; Repeat and use during conversation practice with native
Goal: Grammar improvement; sound more naturally
Website: Naver
Hellotalk chat with native speaker
Improvement Areas: My pronunciation
Plan: Pick two topics ( for two conversations); Research on topic; actively memorise phrases and words for that topic; Use them during conversation; Notice if native speaker understood me and if the phrases I used weren’t awkward.
Goal: Pronunciation; Grammar in actual conversation; Vocab recollection;
