studied for 7 hours and 15 minutes
-watched three hello counselor videos
-listened to two vlives that i've already watched while i was making anki cards
-finished kgiu intermediate
-did anki
-fixed my hanja deck
-watched youtube
-read Daily korean vocabularies for foreigners
-read 500 basic korean verbs

I think i'm gonna take a break from kgiu before i start the advanced book so that i can review everything from the intermediate book until i actually fully know everything, i've already forgotten some of the grammar points so i need to add them to anki to review them, i have a few in anki already but not all of them, also i reached my 100 hour goal today and i still have a few days left!:)

I discovered an anki plugin called Internal references, which i used on my hanja deck, whenever i click on a hanja character, it shows me all the other words using that hanja.
my hanja deck is extremely small currently, i'm gonna start adding more to it once i get the hanja book that i ordered, and i also added a thing so that i can press a link in the card and it searches for the hanja characters automatically on https://koreanhanja.app/

Here is a gif showing what it looks like
if anyone knows how to change the color of the link that says hanja dict please tell me because it's ugly and it's bothering me lol

do you take your hanja deck lightly as in not seriously? i can imagine the reviews getting burdensome as the deck gets bigger due to homonyms. After all, when you read in Korean you figure out the word by the context if the word is a homonym. maybe you'd be better off putting the word and the translation on the front so you can just focus on the individual meanings of the hanja

i haven’t taken it seriously yet because i’ve been focusing on other things, and i also want to have the physical book before i start seriously, but i personally have found it very easy to learn this way so far

6238D380-752D-4952-9DEA-DC625497A1AB.jpeg

This is what a page in the book that i use looks like, it doesn’t take that long to make the cards because i mostly just copy and paste from the pdf

i don’t find the homonyms to be a big problem, and as you can see the words containing 경 are on the same page with the different hanjas and the different meanings, so remembering all of the different meanings that 경 has isn’t difficult, so it’s not like i’d for example mix up the 경 in 경고 with the 경 in 경쟁 just because they’re both 경, and also for example the word 경매 is on this page and i didn’t know this word before, but i saw that the 매 here means to sell and i already knew the word 판매, and i know the word 경쟁, so now remembering 경매 is gonna be extremely easy and it requires almost no effort for me to memorize it, but if i just saw 경매 randomly while reading, i wouldn’t have made the connection and it would’ve been like 50x more difficult for me to memorize it.

I feel like if put the translation on the front i’d might have a harder time remembering the words since i don’t have to guess the meaning, but it also might work since most of the words are so easy to remember, and remembering the meanings of the hanja might become more difficult in the future....
what do you think about having a note with two different cards where card 1 is the way i have it currently and card 2 has the korean word and the translation on the front to remember the meaning of the hanja? I think i’m gonna try it out, and if i realize that one way is better than the other, i can just delete the other card

it just seems like after a while it'll get difficult doing your reviews since you just have the word in isolation without any context and obviously in real life immersion you're gonna have context or a sentence or a phrase rather than just the word. a huge part of getting good at korean is learning to infer the word based on the context.

what do you think about having a note with two different cards where card 1 is the way i have it currently and card 2 has the korean word and the translation on the front to remember the meaning of the hanja? I think i’m gonna try it out, and if i realize that one way is better than the other, i can just delete the other card

>> I say no because you should try to minimize your time spend with anki because as far as i can tell you spend enough time with anki now. you are being smart and efficient about using anki. you don't wanna fall down the rabbit hole of perfecting ankicards or spending too much time making cards.

I think putting the hanja on the back of your regular word and/or cloze deck is sufficient. you can refer to it when you have trouble remembering or differentiating word.or maybe only make special hanja cards for words you have trouble with.

Oh i’m sorry, i missunderstood! i see what you mean now.
i honestly don’t spend that much time on anki, usually only around 20 minutes of reviewing per day

I do agree that context is very important, and i use it for most of my other cards, but also, the majority of the time that i spend on studying i spend on watching and listening, so even if i learn a word without context, i’m going to hear it or encounter it in context at some point

And if i want to add context myself, i can just search for the word in my subs2srs database deck and copy the sentence and the audio and everything to the card, which i usually do because i don’t like cards without context because i can’t remember them as well without it, and if it ever becomes a problem with the hanja cards, i’ll add a sentence to the specific cards that i’m having trouble with, i also don’t want to add context to every single card because in my opinion that would get tiring to review since i use a lot of media in my cards, which works great for the words that i just come across while watching things, but hanja words usually stick without it, so i’d rather wait until i encounter the word irl instead and only add context to the ones i can’t remember

If i didn’t spend as much time listening and watching as i do and i only studied words without any context, i understand why that would be a horrible idea, and having no context with the type of cloze deck that you have would be extremely tiring and the few amount cards that i have without context in my vocab deck I HATE because they’re so boring and i can never remember them, so i understand why you think that it would get too difficult without context because if this was my regular deck it definitely would and i’d quit within 3 seconds, but for some reason hanja cards don’t bore me at all even without context

I don’t know how to explain this....but to me it feels like having 1 unorganized folder full of 10.000 pictures named fhkgjgjfdj123djfjd.jpg vs having them all organized in separate folders and sorted by name or date, when i want to use a word it’s just easier to find it in my brain because it knows which folder to look in lol

i’m gonna try to spend less time trying to fix my cards because i have honestly spent too much time on them but i had to try different things to figure out what worked and i think i’m pretty happy with the way they are now,
also before i didn’t really think about the fact that there were a lot of words that are the same but have different hanja meanings, so i’ll pay attention to that!

studied for 2 hours and 40 minutes
i didn’t do that much today because my brain had to rest lol
-listened to a vlive
-watched an episode of my love from the star and made anki cards
-did anki
-did memrise

i also downloaded an icelandic sentence deck just to try it out and i think it’s more fun than german, i might start icelandic instead even though i have no use for it lol but it was really fun seeing sentences on anki and trying to guess what they were in swedish because they’re very different but also similar somehow...but i’ve heard that the grammar is really difficult

studied for 3 hours and 40 minutes
-did repetitive listening, the video was 35 minutes long and i listened to it 3 times
-watched a vlive
-watched some more of my love from the star
-did anki
-watched youtube

i found this giant google drive folder full of thousands of books, but there are just so many that i have no idea how to decide which ones are worth reading, and most of them seem a bit old, but if you decide to download this and you find a good book, please tell me the name of it!
