TAC 2009 Day 119
I finished doing vocabulary in Keroro 6 today. Here are the results: Keroro vol 1: 819 (4.55 per page) Keroro vol 4: 614 (3.41 per page) Keroro vol 5: 536 (2.98 per page) Keroro vol 6: 379 (2.11 per page) That's 29% fewer than last time - a huge jump. This has been by far the most effective activity I've tried for my vocabulary. There isn't much else to do now except keep plugging at reading material. I have 8 more volumes of Keroro here and I really like the comic, so I will probably stick with it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Month 10 Status Update
This month I did almost exclusively vocabulary study using comic books, word lists, and an SRS. Both the quantity of words I recognize and my knowledge of Korean roots have improved dramatically. I now understand the importance of the root base, as I can guess the meanings of new words much more reliably, much like I can in English. These gains have come at some temporary cost to my spoken Korean, as I haven't had as much practice or interaction with my Korean friends this month. I was previously planning to have May be a listening-focused month, but now I feel that I should continue to build up my vocabulary base first. I feel that if I improve my literacy to near-fluency, the other skills will come much more easily. One change this coming month will probably be in my SRS card structure, as I phase out quizzing myself on the Hanja for new words. Once you know the Hanja for a word really well, I feel it is better to quiz on the Hangul, as the Hanja tend to give away the meaning too easily. I will still learn all new Hanja I come across, but new characters are becoming less and less frequent. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hey GoldFibre,
I just wanted to let you know I finished RTH yesterday. A day earlier that I was shooting for...yeah! Your posts and continued determination are inspiring. I think I'm going to follow you down the road of reading for the month of May. Perhaps some stuff at a lower level that yours, but I'm really itching to start seeing how Hanja plays out in real life and not just in my srs... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's great that you finished! Already you have accomplished a lot, and now hopefully you can find some interesting reading material to work with. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

TAC 2009 Day 120
Today I played basketball and then StarCraft with my Korean friends all night, so I didn't get any vocabulary study in. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
