I decided to come with a plan for learning written Korean better and I decided with my language partner Rachel and who is also my tutor to write diary entries twice a week and then have it corrected and then rewrite it corrected and then write new diary entries as well the following week. It has been working well and I have learned spelling and grammar a lot better now than before and common errors and being fixed. I have also been doing vocabulary tests and memorization, but I think next time I post I might have dropped that lesson because my Korean vocabulary is pretty sporadic and random and I know certain difficult words and don’t know some simply vocabulary, so it is inefficient to try memorize and paw through all the vocabulary that I might not know. I’ve been excited in writing Korean and I write it by hand since I have to truly know the spelling without spellcheck. I feel like the spellcheck makes it easier to not remember the spelling of the Korean words so I try to write by hand on my iPad and then send it to Rachel and have her correct my entries and then I rewrite the entire thing. Hopefully, this strategy continues to be successful!
