Hi Goldfibre,
I just joined the forum. I have been reading your log for quite a while now. It really is quite inspiring. You have a machine like work ethic and the results are evident. I am also studying Korean and decided to join this site to keep a record of it. Anyway, I just wanted to post a quick note to say that your log is appreciated. Cheers. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks remix. I'm glad that this log is inspiring to you. I find that logging is a good way to keep me honest with how much work I put in each day. Maybe you will feel the same way. Good luck! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Oh, oops! Correction: I didn't do vocabulary work in Keroro yesterday, but I read in my book and I read several news articles. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

TAC 2009 Day 140
Something wonderful has happened in the past couple weeks of my Korean studies; I feel like before I was working uphill, and now I'm on the downhill side of this effort. Things are coming much easier and I learn (and remember) from pretty much everything I read or listen to. I can also speak freely on just about any subject. Some examples of topics I've discussed recently in Korean without referencing a dictionary: hurricanes, computer viruses, vampires. When I read news articles, there is about one word per paragraph that I don't immediately recognize, such as '망원경' (telescope), '소련' (Soviet Union), and '동성애자' (same-sex lovers). Books tend to have more vivid language, so I miss more words, but I fully understand the plot and dialogue. It's a great feeling! Anyway, I still have a lot to learn and my listening still needs to catch up, but I feel like fluency is pretty much inevitable now if I keep at it. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Wow, that's awesome GoldFibre. Keep it up.
Since I've started reading more, almost all the words I don't know are Sino-Korean. Oddly enough, I think I'm better with a Hanja dictionary than a Korean-Korean dictionary. Which says something for RTH, since it only took about a month and half to get through. As always, you're quite inspiring. Thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Funny, most of the words I don't understand now are pure-Korean descriptive words that only seem to crop up in books. It used to be the Sino-Korean ones that gave me trouble! 1 person has voted this message useful |
