I did a few more stories and headlines from KBS News. Also, I got in a lot of conversation practice and realized I need to work on my pronunciation. I can speak fairly quickly now, but not everyone understands my accent/mispronunciations.

Although my listening has improved by leaps and bounds since I started this news project, the news itself has reached the point of boredom for me. I don't find the news particularly interesting in English, and the Korean news is giving me the same feeling. I just get in the habit of trying to make rules for my Korean study, and sometimes these rules can be counterproductive.
I have all these interesting materials lying around my place, so I'm going to spend just as much time as before but work with things I enjoy. I think that shedding the news-only rule will be good overall. I may revise my 12 month goal as well, but will have to think about it first.

I read volume 4 and half of volume 5 of 케로로. I don't have volumes 2, 3, and a few others because they were out of stock when I ordered them.

I split my time between reading volume 5 of 케로로 and going through volume 1 again to learn all of the unknown words. Keroro has much denser vocabulary than Harry Potter, but it's entertaining enough that I'm willing to read it several times over as I learn. I also look for the new words I've learned as I'm reading at my normal pace through the later volumes.

GoldFibre, I just wanted to get your thoughts on something. When I'm learning Hanja I'm usuing Anki and the RTK method and everything. But, what do you think I should do with the Hangul dictionary entry for the given Hanja. For example, 廿 is 스물 입, being it's definition and pronunciation, respectively. Should I throw this on the front with the key word? or just the pronunciation on the front? Or should I put it on the back so I see it when I see the Hanja? If you have any thoughts I'd love to hear them.
