Let's Speak Korean: 제153회-제155회 Extensive Reading: - 와라!편의점 (read daily) - Twitter (a few visits each week) Active Practice: Posts on Twitter and HTLAL In my update yesterday I noted that I've been watching a lot of X맨. One good thing about this is that the vast majority of them are unsubbed (I have what claims to be all the available softsubs, but that still only covers not even half of the series and most of the ones it has are later episodes which I've not yet reached), so I'm getting in far more unsubbed TV watching practice lately. I pause occasionally to read certain items on screen (mostly the tongue-twisters during 줄줄이 말해요 and the insults during 당연하 지) but otherwise I just watch the show and catch what I catch (which is a very decent amount nowadays, including quite a few of the jokes and puns). GOAL STATUS Grammar 1 (Extract grammar from SRS): DONE (65 cards) Grammar 2 (Complete Let's Speak Korean 2부): 25/130 Grammar 3 (Complete Talk To Me In Korean): Not Started Grammar 4 (Complete Survival Korean): Not Started Grammar 5 (Complete SK: Basic Grammar): Not Started Grammar 6 (Review Lonely Planet Phrasebook): Not Started Grammar 7 (Review Using Korean): Not Started Vocab 1 (SE read 24 songs): 3/24 Vocab 2 (INT read 1 TTMIK 이야기/month): 1/12 Production 1 (Memorize 1 song/month): 1/12 Production 2 (Write 2 posts/week): 7/52 Team Gumiho Challenges: 1/1 --- español (2/2/2014 - 8/2/2014): Pimsleur: - Lecciónes 71-75 Destinos: - Episodios 25-28 Bilingual reading: - Foxtrot en español (read daily) - Dilbert en español (read daily) - Calvin and Hobbes en español (read daily) - XKCD en español (visited daily; read on the rare occasions that it updates) Extensive Reading: - Twitter (a few visits each week) Active Practice: Posts on HTLAL GOAL STATUS General 1 (Find a "hook"): In Progress Course 1 (Complete Pimsleur Spanish 1-4): 75/120 Course 2 (Complete Assimil Spanish With Ease): 0/109 Course 3 (Complete Destinos): 28/52 Production 1 (Writing practice): 7/52 Team Lobo Challenges: 1/1 ---- As noted in my Spanish post from yesterday, I'm repeatedly finding myself scrambling at the last minute to meet my "active practice" goals for the week. It definitely helps on those weeks where I get in a post in each language on Sunday, but I've been busier in general lately making it harder to maintain some of my language goals. For example, my evenings have been somewhat busier than normal so some of the language tasks I had been doing in the evenings have been lagging behind. As such, I did all three lessons of Let's Speak Korean yesterday rather than spacing them out on Mon-Wed-Fri as normal. Fortunately they are only 10 minutes each, so combining them into a single 30-min block wasn't unbearable. I did keep Destinos somewhat spaced out (which would have been trickier to combine at nearly 30 min each), but even those were often late by a day (my normal schedule for Destinos is Sun-Tue-Thu-Sat, but this week was Sun-Wed-Fri-Sat instead). At least I'm still accomplishing the stated goals, though. The other side effect (which is what worries me more) has been reduced media immersion time. Other than X맨, I've not really watched much at all (not counting items such as Destinos or LSK as I classify those as "study" rather than "media immersion"). It has been nearly two weeks since I watched an episode of Buffy La Cazavampiros (or pretty much anything in Spanish other than Destinos) and even longer on Korean music shows (except for the one episode of Challenge that I mentioned in yesterday's post).

Let's Speak Korean: 제156회-제158회 Suspended Korean Cards: 9 (all non-grammar cards from Jan 2013) Scorched Earth Reading: - Apink - NoNoNo (1 new word) 떨구다 = to drop (used as 고개(를) 떨구다 meaning "to hang one's head, drop one's head") (NOTE: At first I thought the usage of 들다 (to be needed, be required) in 힘이 들다 (to use strength, need energy, require effort) was new (the actual phrase in the song is 내가 힘이 들 때) and even added it to my 단어 queue. Then later it finally occurred to me that this is simply the uncontracted form of 힘들다 which I've known for years (I just hadn't mentally linked the two when I first saw it written that way). Extensive Reading: - 와라!편의점 (read daily) - Twitter (a few visits each week) Active Practice: Posts on Twitter Song Memorization: - Apink - NoNoNo Since the song for the 1st month of TAC2014 was my favorite song from my favorite group, it seemed logical that the 2nd month should be my favorite song from my 2nd favorite group.

Hoy terminé de ver la primera temporada de "Buffy La Cazavampiros". La mayoría del
capítulos no incluyeron subtítulos, así que tuve que concentrarme en escuchar. Afortunadamente conozco bien este programa, así que no estaba muy perdido, a pesar de esto. Traducción: Today I finished watching the first season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Most of the episodes did not include subtitles, so I had to concentrate on listening. Fortunately, I know this show well, so I wasn't very lost regardless. Edited by Warp3 on 17 February 2014 at 3:08am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

However, if I'm not going to continue LSK lessons at the moment then I need to at least start one of the other goals on the list (like the TTMIK lessons). Unfortunately work is getting in the way again which is making this somewhat difficult. --- español (16/2/2014 - 22/2/2014): Pimsleur: - Lecciónes 80-85 Destinos: - Episodios 33-36 Bilingual reading: - Foxtrot en español (read daily) - Dilbert en español (read daily) - Calvin and Hobbes en español (read daily) - XKCD en español (visited daily; read on the rare occasions that it updates) Extensive Reading: - Twitter (a few visits each week) Active Practice: Posts on HTLAL and Twitter GOAL STATUS General 1 (Find a "hook"): In Progress Course 1 (Complete Pimsleur Spanish 1-4): 85/120 Course 2 (Complete Assimil Spanish With Ease): 0/109 Course 3 (Complete Destinos): 36/52 Production 1 (Writing practice): 9/52 Team Lobo Challenges: 1/2 I did an extra Pimsleur lesson this week to get back on track since I missed one last week. I'm just about done with Pimsleur 3, so I'm going to need to get Pimsleur 4 purchased soon if I don't want to break stride with it (though I did take brief "pauses" between the other levels, so it wouldn't be a huge deal if that did happen). Unlike Pimsleur 1 - 3, Pimsleur 4 would be completely new to me as it didn't exist the last time I went through the Pimsleur Spanish series (the 10-lesson "Plus" pack did, but I opted not to purchase it).

I guess TTMIKs grammar lessons might work well for a commute, so maybe that's a possibility if it takes you a while to get to your workplace? If you want to spend more time on it, you can still go through the PDFs later in the day.

I had considered that. Right now I'm doing Pimsleur Spanish on the way to work and just
listening to music on the way home. I suspect I would get quite a bit out of the TTMIK lessons even in audio-only form (and I can read the PDF later that day to clarify anything), so I may try that (either after I finish Pimsleur or on my afternoon commute). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

El viernes terminé "Pimsleur Spanish 3" pero todavía no he comprado "Pimsleur Spanish
4". Quizás debería saltarme la semana entrante y continuar después. (I'm only really considering this because I just so happened to take a short break between the other sets, so why not for this set as well.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

한국어 (2014년 2월 23일 - 2014년 3월 1일):
TTMIK: 제1단 제1회-제15회 I took druckfehler's suggestion and started listening to TTMIK lessons in the car (on the way home since I use Pimsleur Spanish on the way to work). Since the first ones are pretty much all review, I ended up listening to 3 per day for a total of 15 lessons this week (which puts me over halfway through the 25 lessons of level 1). New Korean Cards: 7 Four were from 이야기 제5회 and the other three were from the songs I had SE read previously and had placed in a queue file ("AOA - Moya" and "Apink - NoNoNo"). Suspended Korean Cards: 16 All non-grammar cards from Feb 2013 Scorched Earth Reading: - Rainbow - Tell Me Tell Me (no new words or grammar forms) To clarify, I did learn two new phrases from this song, but I noticed them back when the song was still being performed and added them to Anki back then. It wasn't until now that I actually SE read the song, though, and there was nothing else new of note. Below are the two phrases I learned previously from this song: 셀 수(도) 없다 = to be innumerable, countless, incalculable (one of the many meanings of 세다 is "to count") 시간을 벌다 = to kill time, buy time, stall - TTMIK 이야기 제5회 (4 new cards) 예를 들어서 = for example, for instance 상냥하다 = to be gentle, tender, soft, suave, sweet, affectionate, kind(hearted), amiable, affable 까칠하다 = to be haggard, exhausted, emaciated, gaunt, thin; to look worn out 되게 + ADJ = very A, really A (I've seen this form countless times before, but never quite grasped what it meant) I know I said I wasn't going to require myself to SE read the 이야기 lessons any longer but I couldn't pass up the two useful grammar constructions and afterward I just ended up SE reading the whole thing and adding the new items straight to Anki in the process (not to my queue like I had been doing). Extensive Reading: - 와라!편의점 (read daily)(and read 제400회 today!) - Twitter (a few visits each week) Listening: I'm doing the TTMIK lessons as audio-only, so I guess that counts for something Active Practice: Posts on Twitter and CZ's blog Song Memorization: The main reason I SE read "Rainbow - Tell Me Tell Me" as my 2nd song for February is because it is most likely going to be my March memorization goal. Honestly, it won't be much of a challenge, though, as I have nearly the whole song memorized already. This is mostly from playing it so much and paying attention to the lyrics back when it was being performed (as it quickly became my favorite Rainbow song at the time and still is). If I'm this close, I might as well finish it off and finally learn the missing phrases.
