First post! Yey me (:
Last week I studied diligently everyday BUT BUT BUT my sanity was slipping away thanks to the "you have to answer every question in less than 1 minute and 45 seconds" crap. It plays with your head D:<
I'm realizing that this is going to be a battle of will more than knowledge. WE WILL PREVAIL.
Those are some basic math notes and my planner. It's a mess as my head/thinking process :D
Tomorrow I don't have to work so I'll be studying/reading all day

Ice tea! xx
iced tea do you miss somebody? why?
this one is a little difficult because I do miss various people that had been a part of my life at some point, but they were clearly not meant to be long-term peeps and that’s okay. we just are left with treasuring those moments or treasuring the lessons learned and we keep it moving, building toward a better us and we can only hope the same for them.
thank you so much for the ask @shellstudies 💗

hello again everyone! here’s the korean masterpost i said i was going to post a month or so ago. i haven’t been self studying korean for very long (and i haven’t been very diligent about it either bc of schoolwork) but ppl have asked me about it several times so this should help a bit.
resources and pros/cons:
1. howtostudykorean.com (the one i mainly use)
pros: completely free, downloadable pdfs, lots of vocabulary, relatively easy to follow lessons, lessons divided into units
cons: no exercises (for practicing your knowledge), online source (strains my eyes after a while), not interactive (can be very tedious)
2. korean from zero
pros: lots of exercises, lots of space for notes (if you decide to print it out and take notes), not too boring, starts you off with some common phrases
cons: there’s like 10 pages of crap at the beginning you have to skip through, the writing is not professional whatsoever (but it’s more expressive if that’s your cup of tea)
3. sogang korean program
pros: free, structured into lessons
cons: pretty standard, kinda boring
4. talk to me in korean
pros: video courses (so you can hear the pronunciation), very diverse coursework, pretty interesting
cons: you have to pay for the books (which have everything)
5. korean made simple (my favorite, but i don’t use it anymore)
pros: teaches by conversation examples so it’s good for practical korean, exercises, pictures
cons: it’s expensive (compared to the other resources), it’s a physical book (which isn’t too light), written by a non-native korean speaker
6. 90 day korean
so i haven’t used this, but supposedly, they’ll send you weekly lessons and the goal is to learn korean in 3 months? i think it’s paid though.
7. integrated korean
haven’t used this one either, but it’s a very common college level textbook, probably really good (paid).
other resources:
1. learn with oliver (dictionary with daily vocab & sentences)
2. bitesizekorean (words + phrases, good for vocab)
3. learn-hangul (grammar + vocab, cute setup, has exo music videos too)
4. naver dictionary
5. lang-8 (send in your writing and native speakers correct it)
6. eviestudieskorean (vocab from kpop songs)
7. let’s learn hangul (korean language blog)
8. even more resources + quick tips on learning korean
hope you guys found this helpful. please feel free to add on and (politely) correct me of anything!!
