You've come such a long way! Do you think you could give an estimate on how many words you know?

Thanks! That's a pretty tough question considering the nature of Korean, but if you want me to say a number... 10,000? :)

Again I didn't work in Keroro, but I read and learned the vocabulary out of several science/technology articles and read in The Game up to page 161 / 591. On Saturday I begin a two week vacation, and I plan to finish off the rest of my Keroro volumes and read several books during that time. When I get back I will probably shift my focus more towards listening so I can achieve my 12 month goal of understanding the TV news.

I hung out with my Korean friends all night but did get some reading in during the afternoon. I'm on page 176 / 591.

Hey, I've been reading your log, you seem very dedicated.
I took Korean in college last year for the first time, and I'm looking to expand my knowledge.
Can I ask you a few questions? Sorry if I seem a bit selfish in my questions, I just want to understand how you became so successful in such a short time.
First, how do you remember the vocabulary? You seem to be learning massive amounts of words in such a short time, how you manage to remember them all? Do you use some sort of SRS?
Second, I noticed in the beginning you said that you compiled sentences. Where did you get these sentences/how did you SRS them (like, with Hangul on one side and English translation or the other, or with like grammar notes/vocab notes?)?
Thanks, and continue the hard work!

I was traveling all night so this update is kind of late, but I read to page 235 / 591 in my book yesterday.

The reading I did yesterday kind of overlaps with today. I'm on page 235 / 591 and tomorrow I will get more time in for reading and answer graybox's questions.

I haven't updated in a while because I've been traveling through Europe. This post is from Italy and I was in Spain a few days ago. I'm currently at page 289 / 591 in my book. I still plan to finish this book and one other during this trip. I should be able to update more often next week because I'll have a more reliable internet connection.
