Went to the seoul international book fair and got new books to read once i finish ๋ฏธ์›€ ๋ฐ›์„ ์šฉ๊ธฐ. Found ์ง€์  ๋Œ€ํ™”๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋„“๊ณ  ์–•์€ ์ง€์‹ thanks to the recommendations by @koreangrumblings and ttmik. I decided to get the second one because it includes philosophy and art, but not sure if that’s a good choice because the whole point of studying more is that i need to build vocab on subjects im Not interested not those that i already know. Ive only flipped through it but it looks like a challenging read. I hope its not too difficult. I know nothing about the other book i just picked it up because it looked interesting at the stall, ive been wanting to read some korean feminism, and i wanted the free bag they were giving away with it ๐Ÿ‘

So I took my first practice tests for TOPIK IIย here. It was much harder than I expected, especially reading! Iโ€™m kinda shocked I did better with listening than reading because listening has always been my weakest point, but maybe this past year of living in Korea but not studying or reading anything other than Kakaotalk channel pages has changed that. I got 64 in listening and 58 in reading, I have no idea how to test my writing skills myself but if I estimate another 50 points I guess Iโ€™d get around a level 4. No way! I know I can do better than that! Iโ€™m really not used to taking exams and the main thing I felt whilst taking the practice tests is that I need to increase my vocabulary a lot. So, time to start actually studying!ย 

Started planning my Korean study this week. This is my first time reading a Korean book and I just picked one from my boyfriend’s bookshelf. There’s lots of vocab I don’t know but i get the jist most of the time. Also met a new language exchange partner and took the topik listening practice test, I’m planning to take the other practice tests next week to get an idea of what level I’m at and what i need to improve on.
