I really enjoy reading your log! You've almost done a double super challenge in the listening section as well, incredibly impressive!

I'm sorry if it's be asked before, but where in the world do you find the time to study so much everyday???? Seeing your progress makes me want to step up my game :lol:

Yes, I'm also very jealous. Can't imagine logging that many hours or being able to actually read books or understand any listening resources. Sometimes learning Korean really feels like climbing a steep mountain and never arriving at the top...

Well, rather than finding the time, it's more like the time is just there for me I guess. If I weren't studying Korean during that time then I'd probably just be watching videos, reading, playing games, or such anyway. I really enjoy studying Korean though, so I'm happy to use my time on it rather than other things.

Honestly, my understanding isn't that great either. It kind of comes in waves. For example, when I'm reading Fruits Basket I might understand almost everything for awhile, but then I'll run into a few pages (or more) where I can barely even follow what's going on. Then with listening, I might, for example, understand a fair amount of one episode of NCT Night Night, but then I might barely understand most of a different episode. Then there are also times in an episode where I'll understand one thing they say, but then I won't understand the next thing, and so on. It feels frustrating at times, but I just try to focus on the positives. For example, if I hear or see a grammar point or word that I recently learned and can understand it, then I feel really happy. Like, I wouldn't have been able to understand that a few days ago, but now I can! It's a really good feeling, and it helps me know that my effort is paying off. The top of the Korean learning mountain is definitely a long way off, but at least I'm getting closer, even if it is a slow climb.

Eng Subbed Videos: I watched an Exo Twitter Blueroom video and Stray Kids X Answering Vending Machine.

Unsubbed Videos: I watched NCT 127's Mugi-Box episode. I'm always hesitant to watch things that might be subbed at some point without subs, but I really felt like watching something with NCT yesterday, so I went ahead and watched it. It worked out well in the end because was actually able to understand most of it. If it does get subbed I'll definitely still rewatch it though because there were some parts I couldn't fully understand.

Audio: I listened to two Iyagis.

Reading: I read more of Fruits Basket.

KGIU, Anki, journal entry, daily Naver Dictionary conversation, Lingodeer: ✓ I'm still working on vocabulary from the first lesson of chapter 3 of KGIU Advanced. If a lot of lessons in the KGIU Advanced book have this much vocabulary that I don't know then I think it's going to take awhile to work through it all. It's okay though. I'll just have to keep working on it.

Eng Subbed Videos: I started watching episode 1 of New Journey to the West 6, and I watched episode 9 of The Great Escape and episode 3 of Seasonies Would Like This Too. If you're wondering what happened to New Journey of the West 5, well, season 6 started in the middle of the last episode. It's best not to question it.

Audio: I listened to two Iyagis and an episode of NCT Night Night.

Reading: I read more of Fruits Basket.

KGIU, Anki, journal entry, daily Naver Dictionary conversation, Lingodeer: ✓ I finally finished lesson 1 of chapter 3 of KGIU Advanced.
