I did so much Korean today. I can literally study it all day, if only I didn't have other things to do!
I'm past all the conjugation tables (thank god, that went on forever) and onto adverbs today!
I think those hours of conjugations really helped me though because I can more-or-less conjugate verbs into past/present/future with all honorifics. I actually found myself being able to piece together correct sentences by looking at the English first and then checking my answers!! That really surprised me considering I only started a month ago!! These were sentences like "
I went to the park beside the hospital yesterday" or "
I will do my homework quietly." When I was doing high school Spanish we didn't get into conjugation until the second year, and it took me ages to feel confident in conjugating. This is proof that if you love what you do and do it smartly, you'll make much more progress in a shorter period of time.
I'm also getting more confident in writing in Korean, it no longer looks like chicken scratches!
Oh and I also drew myself a compass because I'm really bad at directions in any language (I still have to chant "
never eat shredded wheat" in English, and "
изток запад север юг" in Bulgarian
*).
*Funny story, I just found
a hilarious post of a Bulgarian asking for people to explain exactly where the directions are in layman's terms as he has a geography test the following day and still hasn't learned them!
