안녕하세요! I haven’t posted on here in a really long time but I have still been studying Korean! For some reason I just forgot about posting on here. I am still taking lessons once a week but I have been slacking on learning new vocabulary and studying in between lessons.

안녕하세요, 반갑습니다!! i’m coming on here again to share a bit about how the past few days have been. it’s only been a little while since i got back into studying but i’m finding that i’m picking up on things a lot faster than i did previously! my pronunciation has gotten slightly better but i still get nervous when i speak with my tutor so my pronunciation suffers a lot because of that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. but aside from that ive gone through and relearned all the sound change rules, learned sentence structure, and learned how to conjugate verbs. i also listened to the 3 minute level 1 talk to me in korean dialogue test and i understood pretty much everything they said which i’m really happy about because listening has always been hard for me. i also realized that instead of focusing on random vocab words i learn a lot better and absorb the information way more when it’s used in context so i think i’m going to focus on studying phrases then breaking down the phrases afterwards rather than learning random vocabulary words that won’t stick with me. of course i’m still going to do that too but just not as much as i originally planned. but either way i’m happy with the small steps i’ve made into learning this language!

안녕하세요! starting this blog to hold myself accountable when it comes to learning how to speak korean(｀・ω・´)” a few months ago i was able to learn how to read 한글 but since then i haven’t really studied much besides learning a few words here and there. today was my first lesson with 네 한국어 선생님. i know that i’m still going to make lots of mistakes but i’m ready to start getting back into the groove of learning again. 내가 할 수 있어!
