I Started A Studyblr Not Too Long Ago To Motivate Myself During Quarantine And Was Wondering How On Earth

TALK TO ME IN KOREAN IS ALL PAYED NOW!!!!

Do you have anything at all from TTMIK to share for free???????? I like they curriculum but I can't pay subscription. My parents won't give a cent for Korean. They think I will have more success and oportunities if I learn French or German. I would appreciate anything you can give me. Tnx a lot! Love ur blog!

Hey! Here ya go! You can begin with this (all levels are included): audio, textbooks, workbooks and stuff like that.

I also have few of their "kpop fan letters" and books like that. But I don't think it can help you much at the beginning.

22.08.2022|| Hello! I watched too many shows in august, and made a spread for it. I'll start going to uni from next week!!! It has rained almost everyday the past week and the weather is really nice.

What shows are you watching?

I’ve been working on being more conscious of how I write emails, and made this handy printable guide! I have a bad habit of overusing exclamation points, emojis, and qualifiers like “just” and “possibly” to sound extra-friendly and non-threatening in emails. (“Just wondering / just confirming / just checking / just making sure / just wanted to let you know”) You are allowed to take up space. Your voice deserves to be heard. Your opinions matter. You don’t need to apologize for existing or asking for what you need. You are not “bossy” or “bitchy” for not sounding like a pep-machine 24/7. If you act like a doormat, you better develop a taste for shoe leather. You have power too. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself— no one else is gonna do it for you.

I want to try learning Kanji and I think I want to try it your way w having a kanji and the list of vocabulary the kanji it is in. Was it a teacher or yourself that made those lists?

I made the lists! I made them based off of the jouyou kanji break down (this list is all over the internet). So I’m learning grade-by-grade, and just learning common vocabulary attached to those particular kanji. It’s possibly a more grueling process, but it’s helping me.

I also use WaniKani, which uses a slightly similar system of learning kanji in vocabulary. They do teach readings first, however.
