Hello.
I had known this forum for a long time and finally I've decided to make an account. And
since it's still January I joined TAC 2014. Maybe that way I'll get myself to learn
more often.

I want to concentrate mostly on Korean and Spanish but also on improving my English.

Korean - Currently after Topik 2 so A2 level? Probably. At the end of the year I
want to get to intermediate stage (B1/B2) and pass Topik 4. I also want to improve my
listening skills so I can watch tv shows without subtitles.

To march: finish Sogang lessons, then march: work on Online Intermediate College
Korean.
After that we will see. For now my goal is to make one lesson a day.

Spanish - I didn't really think about what to do with Spanish. I knew it as a
kid but then forgot and now I can't even hold an easy conversation.... But I still can
understand a lot and learning is much easier than Korean so I expect to achieve Basic
Fluency to 2015. Since September I have it in school but I will try to find some more
learning resources.

English - Input at C1 and output still awkward. School doesn't really help since
our ingenious teacher decided to give to us pre-intermediate textbooks and we're going
to do it for two years... Fortunately I got into after school advanced English classes
so maybe these will help a little bit~ Later I'll try to find a skype friend to talk to
and write some essays on lang-8.

끝.

Hopefully this won't end after a month.

To me and everyone who participates in TAC 화이팅! 열심히 합시다!

Great to see another Korean learner here! Are you joining team Gumiho? I was in your situation 2 years ago (around level A2, aiming for TOPIK 4). It's doable, but it will be a lot of work. Good luck for your studies! I'm looking forward to following your log!

Btw, your English seems absolutely fine ;)

I'll do my best, thank you!

Things I didn't log yesterday:

Korean - I have new goal for Korean - watch 300 movies or episodes of tv shows or dramas.
Can be with subtitles but I have to try to understand how sentences are constructed.

So I watched new episode of The Genius 2 and I was able to understand things when spoken
slowly. Still I have no idea what 홍진호 says.
Completed 6th lesson of Novice Korean II from Sogang university.
Listened to 5 hours of Korean music while surfing on the Internet.

Korean - I watched Running Man. Park Boyoung and Lee Jongsuk were guests so I
couldn't miss it. Finished Sogang lesson. All day I was listening do Fromm's new album.
She has got a really nice voice. I started traslating her songs.
Oh! And I listened to Hong Jinho's appearance in 김창렬의 올드스쿨 and I was able to
understand him! He tried really hard not to mumble as always.

Spanish - I watched Forest Gump with Spanish dubbing and I did Duolingo lessons.

English - I'll read 50 pages of White Ghosts by Will Rhode before going to
sleep. I've never read any of his books but I found this in bookstore's used books
corner for only 2.5zl so I'd taken it.

I was away from home since the last entry so I couldn't log anything. Well, not that I
couldn't just I haven't had what to log...

I have to quickly catch up with Korean to begin intermediate lessons in March!
