#I don't intend to take the TOPIK exam

[vibinwiththefrogs]

For some reason a couple years ago I stopped formally studying languages, I think because I got too busy and burnt out, and I think it's why my Korean has just been stagnate for years. Going through this TOPIK vocab book I know about 1/3 of the words from TV or books, but there's a lot of words that I feel like it's almost embarrassing that I don't know despite studying Korean for 5 years. Vocabulary has always been one of the more difficult things for me to learn but the only way to get better is to keep working on it. I think in the future no matter what language I'm learning I need to get vocab books and lists to avoid hitting this kind of slump again.
