1. Reading, Anne Frank p. 62
2. Listening, 인간극장
            and 돌아와 순애씨
I feel asleep watching, I was just so tired.

3. Memorizing, only for like 10 minutes working on a word list.
4. Conversation, not much, just wanted to sleep.

So, tired.
I am kind of looking for a new job lately.
I have been working at my Korean Company for about 2 years.
So, 2 years at a 대기업, I think I have good experience now.
Maybe, it is time to find a nice University job.

Mostly my experience is:
1. Presentations
2. Business Writing and Communication
3. Building multimedia language learing techniques.
4. Taking really really really long lunch breaks...

1. Reading Anne Frank p. 81
   Article about 김연아.
2. Listening 인간극장
    I love this show, it is perfect for learning "spoken Korean"
    or, "real Korean" not the garbage they teach in Sogang, or Yeonsei books.
3. Memorized some words, but was pretty lazy doing this.
4. Conversations with my father in-law, I can understand him pretty well, but still it can be difficult. We talked about 바둑 I don't really understand that game,

We ate raw, 소간
If you don't know what that is, 소 means cow,, 간,,Liver raw means raw!!

It's not bad, we eat crazy stuff all the time. I really kind of enjoy it.

Oh, yesterday was Peperoday.
I bought a giant Pepero for my wife.
Dam, i'm hungry, i could eat some pepero now...

LOL! Maybe I should teach you 바둑 one day. ;-)

I can't believe you mananged to eat raw liver. o_O Even I don't like them, and I'm supposed to be a Korean national, who is supposed to eat all kinds of weird stuff.

Hmmm.. it looks like you are already too Koreanised to get out of it. Pepero-day celebrations and all.. :P

I should start posting some hanja for you.
I hanja is fun, unless you are forced to learn it. Here is some info on motivation.

Intrinsic motivation comes from rewards inherent to a task or activity itself - the enjoyment of a puzzle or the love of playing

Extrinsic motivation comes from outside of the performer. Money is the most obvious example, but coercion and threat of punishment are also common extrinsic motivations

Intrinsic motivation VS. Extrinsic motivation


1. Reading read some "Ann Frank"
   Read some article, 소녀시대! 첫 아시아 투아.
2. Watched, 인간극장, This is the best, I think I might focus more time on this.
3. Memorized, still lazy with memorizing things, I really should put more time into it.
4. Convesation, not much, I suck at this. I was kind of tired yesterday I think I ate too much 소간 the other day.

It is friday now. The weekend should be the best time to get some studying in.

Oh, I did an interview for Samsung, business communication job.
Man, I realize my life is too Koreanized,

1. Reading Anne Frank, some
   Reading two articles, one is about 이병헌
2. Watching some, 인간극장,
3. Memorized some word with word sheet, reviewed some hanja meanings, reviewed old stuff in my notebooks.
4. Conversations with my sister in-law, turns out she was talking about 이병헌, is it was much easier to follow the conversation.

Sometimes, I really want to spend more time just watching drama's and listening to spoken Korean.

I guess I really should balance, conversation and reading.

Sometimes I feel I am trying to memorize too many words, and they I seem to forget them all. This is another big problem....

1. Reading, not much
2. Watched 인간극장
3. Memorized none
4. Conversation with my family in law, it was my father in law 60th birthday,

We went to a really amazing buffet.
I was surprised at the quality,
They did Western, Korea, and Japanese.
All, high quality, I was really surprised how good the quality was.

My stomach, hurts.

Oh, Used Korea the whole time. People understand my pronunciation even if I make awkward sentences. So, I feel I made progress.

Listening to the older men can be really difficult, especially the family from the country.

They talk quickly, casually, and there might be 5 conversations going on at once.
They joke, they use slang, etc...

None of it sounds like anything that Yonsei, or Sogang, or any of the language books sound like.

I think, from now on, I am going to focus more on 인간극장.
