Day 2: 6/25/20 Thurs.
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Studied: Unit 3 Pt. 2
Note: I worked a 12 hour shift at work today but I was looking forward to my lesson tonight so I decided to spend the rest of my day covering what I could bear. 100% on quiz

This girl& #39;s TikTok video helped with today& #39;s lesson by using association
Day 3: 6/26/20 Fri.
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Studied: Drills & Exercises (Unit 1 - 3)
Notes: I was able to put consonants & vowels together in a chart. I know the consonants but only half of the vowels.+

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
I noticed how some vowels invade the consonant& #39;s space like 고 & other touch like 도 but others don& #39;t. I also noticed how some of the consonants change shapes? like, 고 vs 가 or 그 vs 거. Its subtle but I& #39;m assuming it has to do with filling up the blocks maybe?+
I also noticed how ㅈ is written like that but also with the 2nd stroke starting further down from the 1st. Not sure why. Another example is ㅋ where it& #39;s also written slanted at times.

Missed 3/8 verbal identification exercise.

Missed 2/5 from the loanwords exercise.+
Lastly, the word that stuck out for me was 고래 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐳" title="Wasserspeiender Wal" aria-label="Emoji: Wasserspeiender Wal"> coincidently, I drew a whale todayhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">

Day 4: 6/28/20 Sun.
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Studied: Units 4 & 5
Note: It wasn& #39;t challenging at all because of my prior lessons on Duolingo. A lot of the compound vowels sound the same but I& #39;m sure I& #39;ll find out why later.

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
I missed 1 question in quiz 1 & 2 in quiz 2.

I& #39;m gaining more & more confidence. I& #39;ve also been keeping up with the Drops & Duolingo apps more consistently.

Learning this is also very mind stimulating & it& #39;s something to look forward to.
Day 5: 6/29/20 Monday
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Worked on: Drills & Exercises for Units 4 & 5, re-completed the chart for Units 1 - 3
Note: I messed up by choosing to watch & #39;Triad Princess& #39; & began my lesson later than usual & now I& #39;m drainedhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😴" title="Schlafendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schlafendes Gesicht">

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
Missed 2 questions in each quiz

Words that stuck out -

뇌 which is pronounced like & #39;noe& #39; & it means brain

우유 which I& #39;m coincidently learning in Duolingo too lol means milk & it sounds like & #39;uyu& #39;

과 자 = snack & is pronounced as & #39;gwaja& #39;

Day 6: 7/1/20 Wed
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Worked on: Unit 6 - Bat-chim (Final Consonants)
Note: I& #39;m so confused with the pronunciations. I don& #39;t understand why a lot of them are pronounced the same? I srly almost gave up while trying to+

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
get it right. I also watched half of this video to help me understand.

https://youtu.be/yE6p6V7UpEY 

I">https://youtu.be/yE6p6V7Up... had to do the quiz as open book bc I am still confused.

All I could think of is when bts sound out/spell out stuff to each other & I can& #39;t help think it& #39;s bc of this lol
Day 7: 7/3/20 Fri.
Book: None
Worked on: Revisited bat-chim
Note: I needed more explanation on bat-chim bc the books weren& #39;t doing it for me. Found this really cool girl who made it make sense THANK GOD! lol I took lots of notes & got a better handle of the rules & concept.
These are the two videos that I watched that helped me out tremendously

Day 8: 7/5/20 Sun.
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Worked on: Unit 7 Double Consonants
Note: This was a short lesson & I thought it was easy but I got 2 questions wrong on the quiz. Got thrown off by how the syllables sounded. Duolingo has already+

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
thrown some of these double consonants into my curriculum so I think that helped too.
I also revisited my bat-chim notes & that was helpful. I think all of this will get easier once I put it into practice & start to learn more vocabulary.
I just finished watching this video that further explained the double consonantshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen"> https://youtu.be/TouEGI_8PnQ ">https://youtu.be/TouEGI_8P...
Day 9: 7/6/20 Mon.
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Worked on: Unit 8 Coumpound Consonants as Bat-chim
Note: I& #39;m going to need a day to re-review today& #39;s lesson. It& #39;s not too hard but I think I need to simplify my notes & get more sample vocab words.

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
I went over the lesson with the ttmik book 1st & then supplemented with the following yt video.

https://youtu.be/cTHc8ggK-JQ 

I">https://youtu.be/cTHc8ggK-... kinda wish there were some more quiz questions that forced me to apply what I learned.

Missed only 1 question - only used my notes once during quiz.
Day 10: 7/10/20 Fri.
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Worked on: Re-reviewed Unit 8 Compound Consonants as Bat-chim
Thoughts: I& #39;m really glad I re-reviewed this unit. My brain needed to compartmentalize & visually see my notes in this way.

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
I& #39;m going to try & keep my lessons closer together. This week really fried my brain bc of work stressors & I also have less energy bc I& #39;m fasting intermediately so I have been knocking out right after work & not waking up until midnight. I drank coffee today so that helped.
Day 11: 7/12/20
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Worked on: Unit 9, Drills & Exercises for Unit 6-9, Final Test & Time-out #2
Note: I really suck at interpreting what is said into writing. I think I need to get to know more vocab to apply it all.

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
Day 12: 7/14/20
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Worked on: Chapter IV Hangeul Handwriting Unit I Korean Handwriting Tips
Thoughts: It was interesting to study how the formal way of writing goes out the door but I like it. Some of the examples are+

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
extreme but I appreciate them taking the time to be realistic about what to expect. Some are confusing but again, I& #39;m sure with practice, I& #39;ll get the hand of it.

I& #39;m almost done with this book & I& #39;m pretty excited to get on to the blue & white book & the workbook.
I& #39;ve also been eye balling some of yhe other books on the ttmik website. The reviews say they& #39;re good to start early on in your education so you can see how what you& #39;re learning is applied. Like my friend says, I& #39;ll pray abt it lol

I& #39;m really happy with my progress overallhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">
Oh, I also went over Time-Out #3 Abbreviations in Korean Slag

ㅋㅋ laughter
ㅎㅎ laughter
ㅇㅋ "OK"
ㅜㅜ or ㅠㅠ crying / sad
ㄷㄷㄷ fear / awe
ㄱㅅ or ㄸㅋ thank you

It also reminded me of this TikTok lol
Day 13: 7/18/20
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Worked on: Unit 2 Practice Your Handwriting
Thoughts: I& #39;m gonna keep it real, I have lost interest & feel super unmotivated. I tend to lose interest of things pretty fast but I& #39;m trying to push through

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
I want to get to the TTMIK Level 1 book & workbook already & can& #39;t seem to find the motivation to finish this last section in this book.

The way some of these handwritten examples are given really bugs me bc it& #39;s hard enough to learn the formal way of writing & then I have
to try to decipher what is being written in other& #39;s handwriting.

I appreciate them including that in the book though bc obviously, you will see handwritten stuff in the real world. It& #39;s just frustrating & I wanna quit but I won& #39;t bc I always do this when things get hard in life.
Day 14: 7/25/20
Book: 한글마스터 Hangeul Master
Worked on: Unit 3 Korean Handwriting Quiz
Note: Got a 90%; missed 16 questions but half of those were questions where I was between the right answer & what I selected as my final two choices.

#LearnKorean #TTMIK #한국어
I will say that I only did half of the exercises & a lot of the missed questions were from the section I didn& #39;t practice lol
