Finally found the whole? list of memorization methods. It not an easy job to remember. I thought I could just encounter a word about seven times and it will be in my memory forever. But no.

Just recycling some videos from previous days an two more videos, which don’t want to stick.😅At the same time thinking how to make learning more entertaining and new.

Korean marathon 7 months Day 10
I was thinking why it is difficult sometimes to remember new vocabulary. In my Korean study videos there are pictures, dialogues with actors, sentences. But there is no story! Something out of context is difficult to follow and I can’t remain focused. Not 4 hours a day today. Barely two. Review of old videos. Listening.Continue reading “Korean marathon 7 months Day 10”

Today a little review day. I’ll rewatch videos and do some translation exercises. Old-fashioned, but keeps you focused on the language. Music: library, fireplace, pencil sounds Aroma: vanilla aroma oil Today’s video is kind of a lazy one. When a teacher speaks two languages and gives translation of phrases. Not ideal for learning but goodContinue reading “Korean marathon 7 months Day 5”
Korean marathon 7 months Day 4
A nice exercise to practice the vocabulary you learned is to describe a picture/story, but picture is supposed to be interesting and in the middle of action! I’m thinking about using comics to make stories with “new and old words”. Music: lake, nature sounds Tiredness: 8 out of 10 but frustration and anger is notContinue reading “Korean marathon 7 months Day 4”

Three videos today but one was full of vocabulary I will barely need. Music: rain and TV background Pages: 5 pages, all in pencil Aroma: lemongrass, orange aroma oil At first I just watch video.
