Learning Korean day 78

I’ve been learning Korean for the past 2 months. Initially, it was really fun, swiping here and there on an app. And then I see my retention being super good and before I know it, I have a few hundred words under my belt. Then I began to realize I am starting to forget those words. Despite spending more time learning more words, I am actually retaining less words. I wish I can see my actual progress but that’s not the point. I’ve got to change my strategy. So here’s what I did:

• I went back to note taking by hand,
• I write down the words I actually learnt
• I try to recognize things in the real world and pronounce those words
• I try to read any Korean I can find in the real world and pronounce those words

These strategies actually improved my learning, and since I’m heading to Thailand soon, I figured what the heck, why not add that to the list. :)
