    My old eyes struggle to read chinese letters on my phone. I need new glasses. I am tired of a blurry world.

    Feeling like there has to be some more interesting way to review vocabulary. Really sick of Memrise flashcards today.

    I thought it would be nice to learn the Heart Sutra chant and to write it out in Hanja. I know it is one of the shortest sutras, but I now realize that it is a big task for me because I don't know most of the Chinese characters.
    I wonder why Korean monks chant in Chinese? Maybe just a historical hold over?

    I want to study everything, all at once! It is my downfall. I am trying to keep it light and easy right now. My Korean class ended, and my brain needed a rest. So I am sticking to studying Active Korean 1 (with workbook and audio) and Talk To Me In Korean Level 1 (with workbook) and Living Languages audio in the car.
    Plus Memrise.
    Yet I see howtostudykorean, and I am immediately drawn to that, which I have always wanted to learn from. Silly me.
    So I remind myself that I figured out that at the pace of 2 hours a day of studying 6 days a week, it would take me 3 months to get through the TalkToMeInKorean lessons alone. I resist the urge to run off on another tangent. I will stick to TTMIK.

    Julia I have tried several audio programs. The living languages is very easy to listen to. I bought "Living Language Korean, Complete Edition: Beginner through advanced course, including 3 coursebooks, 9 audio CDs, Korean reading & writing guide" for $40. This is totally the best deal for the amount of materials you receive. I wouldn't spend all that money for the online materials.

    Julia I have been listening to the audio in my car for a year, have progressed up to level 9 now, and still not sick of the audio.

    I find doing flashcards so BORING. But I just don't encounter the words enough through other activities. I need to do my flashcards every day.
    Why does my brain leak?
    10 years ago  
    Icha I use howtostudykorean. They explain grammar and they give vocab. And they use them in sentences I wanted to try and make flash cards.

    Julia See here for hundreds of homemade flashcards, as I try to find ways to remember the words. https://jreidy17.wordpress.com/flashcards/
    I think remembering is a totally personal things, and now doubt flashcards I make can really help others. Yet I still share them here on Mindpasta, because it lets folks here know where my brain is studying.

    I have been doing other things, casually, not as serious studying. Like listening to audio in my car, watching an hour a day of KDrama on average, reviewing by working my way through Talk To Me In Korean Level 1 grammar lessons, practicing chinese brush pen writing of Korean and Chinese characters, learning Chinese brush painting, etc.
    What I stopped doing for 2 months was my Memrise flashcards. I would do 10 cards, then stop. But I have hundred of words that need reviewing in the various lists. So I am trying to get back to speed with devoting time to Memrise and working through all those words.
    Basically, my 2 months off has resulted in me only remembering 50 - 70 percent. I have forgotten at least 30 percent!

    This is the Sumi-e class. It is only the cost that makes me hesitate.

    These are some of the hanja characters I have learned. I can draw all of them, although my calligraphy skills are marginal. I keep practicing.
    I saw a Sumi-e class being offered at a Zen temple a few hours drive from my house. I am tempted to sign up. It could only help to learn the basics of chinese brush painting and calligraphy from a chinese man who is expert in it.

    I was thinking it would help learning Hanja if I saw Chinese radicals more ... so here is my wallpaper.

    Julia Impressive lila. Everyone tells me I don't *need* to learn hanja at my beginner level, but that is what I am interested in. I got so excited when I visited a Buddhist temple this week, and I could read the first three characters on the sign.

    lila you probably don't need at this point! ;P but if you love learning, why not?! i loved learning chinese signs, maybe that's what help speed-up the process ;)
