Sorry for the slow responses to comments/mails. Been feeling lazy for the past few weeks. School and drama-watching have been consuming all my time xD
Since I’m starting to learn Japanese in school, I’ve been spending slightly more effort on it and Korean has taken a backseat for now. Not sure how far my Japanese study will proceed, but for now at least, I’m serious about it. Interest really helps. (: On several past occasions, I thought of picking up Japanese but never take a step forward due to a lack of real interest. Maybe I will even start documenting my Japanese learning journey from now! ^^
I will try to spend some time on Korean still, since I’m far from being good.
Sometimes I really admire people who can put in their utmost in things that they really want to have or achieve. I can never do that. I do put in effort at times, but never tried my best. I find that tiring and 귀찮다 (to use a more appropriate word).
Just finished watching Hotaru no Hikari 2 and I think I’m like Hotaru in some ways. I love lazying around the house and finds putting effort in things tiring. I share her views on quite a number of subjects too (:
Been carrying the past yr TOPIK advanced paper around with me these days. To remind myself how much harder I have to work to reach that standard. hahaha.

Shanna, you’ve managed to self-study all the way through intermediate TOPIK and placement into Advanced Level 2 at Yonsei! You are amazing. I think your “not best” is still incredible. Good luck with your Japanese!

Are you referring to the Klear textbooks mentioned in your resources page? You borrowed them from library? Wonder if Kino sells?
Thanks

It makes it so much easier to learn new words. I also like the grammar explanation, and , especially, the grammar index. Thank you again for such a good recommendation! (I only wish my weekly Korean class used that series instead of Sogang.)
