How many new words have you learned in your target language? How did you learn them? Do you have realistic goals for your acquisition of vocabulary?
So far, I have learned vocabularies for introducing family members, asking questions, directions, counting numbers. My main goal is to conduct a conversation and can understand the most meaning. From watching Korean drama, listening to Korean songs, I began familiar to the words expressing self emotions or love, because these words appeared really often in k-pop lyrics and drama scripts. Another way for me to learn Korean words is Mango. Mango is really useful tool to learn Korean words. I strongly recommends everyone to use Mango for self-learning. It puts vocabularies into different contexts and you learn and memorize words better in this case.
Though I did not have the specific goals for my acquisition of Korean vocabulary, I tried to mimic the sound of high frequency vocabularies and asked my language partner for their meanings. In this way, I am able to motivate myself to learn Korean.
