They are not exactly the same, but they have similar sounds or a similar construction (which is better appreciated when knowing their "chinese" characters). So I think my vocabulary could benefit from studying some hanja.
We rank the words from the most frequent to least frequent, and split the words into three difficulty levels using the percentiles of the word frequencies. We use words’ frequency as a proxy for difficulty level; that is, we assume that the words appearing most frequently in dialogues are generally considered “easier” than the words that are rarely used. The hard level includes words with the lowest frequencies from the 1st to 24th percentile. The intermediate level is made up of words in the 25th to 74th percentile. The easy level constitutes the 75th to 100th percentile.

Well done you
I'm reading again parts of "The Little Book of Talent: 52 tips for improving your skills" by Daniel Coyle. One of the main ideas of the book that I'm trying to keep in mind is this one:
"The key to deep practice is to reach. This means to stretch yourself slightly beyond your current ability, spending time in the zone of difficulty called the sweet spot. It means embracing the power of repetition, so the action becomes fast and automatic. It means creating a practice space that enables you to reach and repeat, stay engaged, and improve your skills over time."

I have the Sejong books, but they are all in korean and I don't feel confident enough to tackle them yet. Then, a few days ago, I discovered two amazing series of textbooks for kids and I fell in love with them.
Which book series am I talking about? It is called 맞춤 스페인어권 한국어: Coreano para la Comunidad Coreana Hispanohablante.
As I'm not too much into making a textbook my main/only focus, I'll consider working on the textbook to be on the same priority level as my other activities. But I'll add a progress bar to my signature because I really appreciate to have a more short-term-visible-progress measurable activity!
The first two Sejong have ENG versions and that website has a program that go through all the rest of the books with English guides and subtitles. I picked 재외동포를 위한 한국어 KR version to start reading. I dont use textbooks for the exercises and this one had more reading passages than the other. Also the topics in the later books seem really interesting and cant wait to begin reading them. I also like the little mini test after a few chapter and the last main test at the end. Something that is not in the Sejong textbooks outside of their workbook pdfs.
