- Celebrated my birthday with my family and had a great time with everyone
- I’ve been trying to program a web version of Phase 10 and I’ve made a ton of progress. I’m close to finishing it
- Getting really close to launching an iOS app for my job
Overall, it’s been going well. I do have low points (I just found out my calcium levels are normal so I don’t know what caused my kidney stones) but there’s good if you look for it
Sounds like you’re not ready for this stage yet. I thought I could do that with German and failed horribly. I recommend that you get some vocabulary or phrase books. Those are split into sections and you can add those to your list of vocab words. Learn introductions , food, body parts, household items, colors, numbers, etc. What do you often do? Office work? Learn the words for document, report, stapler, etc. Do you travel a lot? Learn airport, train, ticket, etc. Have you heard of Anki? Use it to fully memorize words. Don’t just use it for base verbs. Also include conjugations, honorifics, and small sentences. I don’t know much about the specifics of the Korean language but I know that it’s a difficult language and it’ll take some time until you can read native text. When you do, you should start out with music. Songs tend to be repetitive and use the same words so you will start noticing words more and more. Add these words to your vocab. You can repeat this process more and more until you get into websites and TV shows and movies. It will take time and you’ll feel discouraged but every language uses more words than others and by learning from these books, you should build up a solid base to the point where you’re not clicking on every single word
