My Week 4 Progress Learning Korean

My Week 4 Progress Learning Korean Amelia  from the UK is currently taking the italki World Cup Language Challenge to learn Korean.  She uploaded a Public Video Pledge  and even started a personal blog site to help motivate her Hallyu to ???.   We were so impressed with her efforts that we asked if we could repost what she had written on her personal blog as she gives weekly updates on her progress.  Check out her latest post reposted with permission. and a bit… So sorry I’m late yet again with this! I’m promise I’ll keep doing them until the end though! I’m on 15 hrs 30mins so far, not including what I’ve already done this week so I’m pretty pleased. This week has been particularly busy as my boss is away and I am trying to move flats in August â€" I have spent all day wrangling with estate agents! I’m glad I’m enjoying Korean so much because studying seems like a relaxing break but I still have positive motivation to keep improving (even when the bags under my eyes are becoming permanently ingrained….). Having all the lessons planned through Italki is definitely the best way as it means I can listen to podcasts on the tube and do short essays in the evening but know exactly when the bulk of my learning will be. That really helps me to keep going when I feel stressed. In week 4, I hit the mark of having been studying Korean for 2 months â€" that has gone so quickly! I completed my second “book” with Rosa too. Apparently there are 4 books in the elementary level (before the heady heights of intermediate!), which are essentially 10 mini chapters covering both grammar and vocab around a topic â€" I showed you one of the pages in last week’s video. I think these are from a language school in Korea. We have done the 20 topics in 11 hours (we skipped some early ones I already knew). Because we went through it quite fast, this is why I have been focusing on writing too. This week we decided to do 3 hours of reviewing before moving to book 3 so I may be short on video ideas for the next one! In case anyone is interested here is the Korean for my writing task: ??? ???? ???????. ?? ??? ????. ?? ?? ?? ??? ????? ???? ?????? ????? ???. ??? ?? ??? ??? ? ???. ???? ??? ????. ???? ??? ??? ???. ???? ? ??? ????. ??? ????? ???? ????. ?? ???? ? ???? ???? ???? ?? ????! ??? ???? ???? ??? ???. ??? ??? ???? ????? ?? ??? ?????. ?? ??? ??? ??? ??? ????.??? ??? ???. ?? ? ?? ? ????? ??? ??? ? ? ?? ???. ???? ?? ???, ?? ? ?????! ??? ?????. ??? ????, ?? ???? ?? ????.
