Let's Speak Korean: 제144회-제146회 Scorched Earth Reading: - 태진아 - 하얀 눈 (0 new words) I didn't really intend to SE read this song. He started performing it recently (mid- December) on the music shows and I noted it seemed far more repetitve than his usual songs (oddly enough this one was written by his son 이루 who is also a singer), so I looked up the lyrics to confirm my suspicions about the word count. (I did confirm my suspicions, too. Even being *generous* with my word counting method, there are only 17 unique words in the whole song. If you ignore the "Merry Christmas" at the very end and consider 눈 and 눈이 as the same word, then it drops to only 14.) However, in doing so I read the whole song and confirmed there were no words or grammar points that were new to me. Since I'd already done my lyric SE reading this month, which would make the song above irrelevant to my challenge, it got me thinking about the parameters of this challenge and I've decided to alter them. Rather than 2 songs/month the challenge is now 24 songs for the year. While this makes it easier to procrastinate, it also makes it easier to build a pool of SE read songs early on to provide ample memorization candidates throughout the year (which is something I'd been pondering anyway).

In the future, I need to make sure to make at least one post in each language much earlier in the week, so that last minute rush isn't necessary.

Writing really is the hardest thing to commit to, isn't it? It sounds like you're progressing well, though! I like your
idea of reading comics every day for quick reading practice. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yes it does seem that way. For me I think it is mostly because I can never seem to figure
out what to write. That's partly why many of my posts have been replies to others rather than anything new (especially on Twitter). It seems to work well. I figured I read comics on the web daily anyway, so I may as well read them in other languages (and for the Spanish ones I read the English version too so I have a ready translation available). Speaking of comics, I just realized that today I read comic #365 of 와라!평의점. Since I have been reading them daily, I've been reading that comic for a straight year now! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Let's Speak Korean: 제150회-제152회 Intensive Reading: - TTMIK 이야기 제4회 I've revised my requirement for the TTMIK 이야기 portion of my TAC 2014 goals. Rather than doing full-on "Scorched Earth" reading with them, I'm backing off to just Intensive Reading. The difference? I'm still looking up any new words, grammar, etc., but documenting them for entry into Anki is optional (and probably unlikely to happen). The reason? 이야기 lessons are much longer than songs so SE reading them takes too much time thus making me avoid the task altogether. With this change that goal is far more tolerable and thus more likely to get done.

I wouldn't think that you get more than 5-10 new words out of each Iyagi lesson, probably even less in many cases. The first few Iyagis are a bit deceiving - they started out more difficult than the later episodes. I don't think it will make such a big time difference whether you enter those words to Anki or not. But I can totally see how Anki is a pain anyway... I haven't really used it for about a year now for Korean.

True, but most songs now give me 1-2 words at most (and maybe a grammar form on rare
occasion) and are so much shorter that the whole task takes far less time even if the word count were similar. That said, my queue of things to add to Anki has been climbing lately anyway as I haven't actually added anything to Anki for a while now. I'm really on the verge of simply no longer using Anki for vocabulary at all (rather than just keeping vocabulary active for one year as was my latest change) and only using it for grammar and Hanja. Implementing that change would make SE reading songs pretty much a thing of the past as well (since I'd be reverting to intensive reading for those also at that point). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

요즘 SBS의 X맨에 완전 빠졌어요. 지난 2주동안 한국 TV보기중에 도전1000곡 1회밖에 X
맨만 봤네요. Translation: Lately, I've been completely immersed in SBS's X-man. Except for one episode of Challenge 1000 Songs I've only watched X-man during the last two weeks of my Korean TV watching. (For those of you that haven't seen it, X맨 is a variety show that ran from 2003-2006 on SBS. It is rather interesting to see several well-known Korean celebrities as they were about 10 years ago.) --- Es sábado por la noche y una vez más necesito escribir algo en español antes del fin del día. Debo comenzar a escribir estas entradas más temprano en la semana. Translation: It is Saturday night and once again I need to write something in Spanish before the end of the day. I should start writing these posts earlier in the week. 1 person has voted this message useful |
