I realised this week that my Korean improvement has pretty much reached a complete standstill, and i’m not at the level i hoped i would be at this time last year. I haven’t properly sat down and studied for a long time, but i think that’s what i need to take my Korean up from intermediate to advanced. this is the first time i’ve ever used textbooks to study and it’s definitely harder to motivate my self to work through a textbook than to just study whatever catches my fancy online. Once I get started on the books they are still enjoyable though, so no more excuses, time to study.
