Here's a short backstory of my Korean language learning adventure:
I made myself familiar with the Korean alphabet and some basic phrases at the end of 2016. After that because I changed jobs and place of living I didn't study much (or at all for the matter). I'd just read a lesson in one month ... a tad embarrassing.
Around September or October of 2017 I actually started studying it more seriously. At the moment I'm at an upper-beginner/ low-intermediate level, but I want to reach a high level of fluency so that's why I want to set goals for myself every week and complete them without any excuse this time.
Monday, April 16 - Sunday, April 22
This week's goals
1. Add in Anki the words I gathered in the last 2 weeks in Naver wordbook (around 250 words)
2. Finish the homework for my italki lesson
- Write 6 sentences using ~다가 / 6 sentences using ~도록 하다
- Write about a Romanian news article in Korean and express my opinion on it
- Take the test prepared by the teacher with ~다가 / ~도록 하다 grammar
- Memorize the words for next lesson
4. Finish the last 5 pages for Korean Grammar in Use book (beginner to intermediate)
5. Start Korean Grammar in Use (intermediate level) and learn the first lesson
6. Listen to TTMIK Iyagi 1 and 2, transcribe them and add the new words in Anki
7. Listen to 5 TTMIK Real Life Conversation Beginner and transcribe them (they are pretty easy so I'm trying to finish them so I can move on to TTMIK Real Life Conversation Intermediate)
8. Everyday review 60 words (20 new)
