Weekly language study update 28.7-3.8 Some language and reading plans for August! I decided to use a bingo board to make it a bit more fun and take the pressure off a bit for not completing some goals, as I'm struggling to work whilst staying at my mum's over the summer. I'll mostly be focusing on Japanese with some German and a lot of reading in Korean and Chinese. What are your study plans for August? July is over and it’s time to take a look at the studying I did this month! I didn’t really do any serious language studying in the first half of the month, with the exception of some Korean teacher training, so this is mostly from the final two weeks. I normally prefer slightly longer study sessions but sometimes a train trip is the perfect time to do a little bit of studying and a little bit of reading. Translation as a study method - the dos and don’ts Did some hiragana practice 🇯🇵 over breakfast today and then again later by the lakeside! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️ How to adapt photo description tasks for self study? I’ve been making some study plans for the summer (July/August) recently and thought I’d share. They’re a little bit ambitious, but if I can get a decent chunk done I’ll be very happy. My name is Keira, I'm 23 years old from the UK and I love learning languages. I currently work as a Korean-English translator and am preparing for my master's degree in East Asian studies (focus will be premodern history/literature/philosophy). I did my undergraduate degree in Korean and have achieved TOPIK level 6 twice 🇰🇷🇰🇷. I also studied abroad for two semesters at HUFS in Seoul.
