[hippocampus-studies]

study like a gryffindor: break out the good snacks and pump the music, use breaks as a time to work out, go to the professor’s office hours when you have questions, be confident in your ability to succeed

study like a hufflepuff: organize study groups, do your readings in your comfiest sweaters, write your own notes and study guides from the textbook, be unafraid of the hard work that studying takes

study like a ravenclaw: think critically when re-reading notes, quiz yourself while brushing your teeth, tackle the hardest practice problems, know that you have the skills to get it done

study like a slytherin: use every resource available to study, use your notes to make your own lecture, challenge yourself by setting goals even if you’re not sure you can achieve them, be proud when you do well

Children's Books in Korean

I have uploaded my small collection of Korean children’s books in PDF form. Since I am just learning Korean I summarized a few of them based on the pictures, so please excuse some of the titles!  There are 4 types of PDF’s in each folder, full color editions of the book with pictures (title.pdf) or just the text of the book (titletext.pdf). There are also black and white editions for those who want to print them off to write on them for translating. I’ve also included a zip file for those who want all 4 files. 

Categorized based on difficulty** : 

Beginner

Bear Adventure

Counting Monkeys 

Cow carries a rice bag

Kids and the Storm

Wheat Kids

Intermediate

Heidi

The Nutcracker

The Prince and the Pauper

Advanced(ish)

Pelé - (It’s a short biography)

Hope that these books will encourage and help those who are starting to learn Korean! 화이팅!!!!! **…in the realm of children’s books but I could totally be wrong!

안녕!

Korean learners, I hit the point where I learn Korean with Talk To Me In Korean and I’m halfway through the second level and I keep reviewing the first level, scared of forgetting it and... I find it useless to learn more if I can’t practice grammar so.. Do you have any idea how to practice what I’ve already learnt? Any workbooks? Websites? I think about TTMIK workbooks, they’d be perfect, but I need to save money first. 

I’d be happy for any answers~

100 Days of Productivity Challenge

I’ve decided to take part in the most popular challenge of studyblr/langblr community. It’s my last week of summer holidays and after my unproductive summer time, I just want to get back on track with learning languages daily. 

100 days scares me, I’m really afraid to fail but well... Let’s give it a try.

Who’s with me? 

[study-nsp]

i’ve seen many posts with study tips saying highlighting is ineffective because it lets you become a passive reader, but since i personally find it useful when done correctly i wanted to make a post specifically about highlighting effectively! note that these are all my personal tips and you should always go with what works for you :]

the big NO: passive highlighting

the “highlight everything that’s important” technique where everything seems to be important

don’t do it!!!

you’ll end up with pages of yellow text not knowing what u just read

this doesn’t help u study at all

when should i highlight?

reading in advance for a class or sth, you have a really long text + you want to be able to recall important parts easily later – not necessary to colour code

you need to extract information from a text to answer different questions or similar – colour code: different colour for each question

you’re studying for a text and want to make a study guide - colour code: vocabulary + definitions, dates + people, etc

don’t highlight when the information is already very compressed, short + to the point, but you can make annotations if you want

colour coding

the art of highlighting

colour coding your notes

colour code and highlight efficiently [+ scientific evidence] 

how to colour code

colour coding notes 101

colour coding annotations

example of a key

another example

yet another key

create your own key to suit you best!

use different keys for different subjects

tips + advice

keep your key somewhere visible, like a post it note, an index card, the highlighters themselves, etc

is there something important that u feel like u may not remember or don’t understand? highlight it, make a note on the side

don’t highlight titles/subtitles bc they’re usually already made to stand out. same with already bold words, but do highlight the definition/explanation

you don’t need to highlight the whole sentence either – figure out what’s important in the important information

accompany highlighting with annotating to engage more + make it more effective – why did i highlight this part? do i have any info to add? personal comment/reminder?

don’t think just because u highlighted a chunk of text u’ve already studied it/know it – highlighting shouldn’t at all work as a study technique on its own

if you have few highlighters but want more colours, mix them!

highlighting supplies

very cute pastel highlighters!!

oh - so - famous - mildliners

candy color marker pens [actually highlighters]

cheap + good bic highlighters

clear view sharpies!!

stabilo boss wallet of 8 highlighters

soft colours + window!!!

muji twin tip highlighter

+ masterposts

studyblr-ing 101

apps for ur life

how to mind map

studying better

diy notebooks

i hope i was any help at all and that u never fall in the grips of passive highlighting!! happy studying!

Korean Novel Recommendations To Read When Learning Korean

Since I read a lot of literature and have been reading purely novels in Korean lately to improve my ability in the language and get a better grasp of sentence structure and reading, I decided to put together a few of my Korean book favourites that if you are learning Korean too, I recommend you give a read if you want to begin improving your reading and translation skills. It may take some time to fully understand them, but perseverance always pays off!

I Have The Right To Destroy Myself [나는 나를 파괴할 권리가 있다] by Kim Young-Ha 

This is one of the first fully Korean books I began to read and translate myself and though it is a slow process when you are just a beginner, it’s amazing to see how far you can come. It has a very deep story line and one that will shake you to the core that I really recommend if you want or like a darker plot. This book follows a nameless man who narrates and follows the life of the wounded minds of a dark city. 

The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly [마당을 나온 암탉] by Hwang Sun-Mi

This was an unusual story for me to read but it was a great choice when it came to studying reading. This was a story lead by a Hen’s perspective and talks on things such as bullying, protectiveness and other life issues. I really enjoyed translating this read, even from an animals mind.

The Vegetarian [채식주의자] by Han Kang

I really love odd concept books so this was a great read for me, but I do know it will not be to everyone’s tastes. Han Kang is a top Korean author and this book follows the perspective of how even the most ordinary people can change very fast. I recommend it nonetheless because it was a great translation.

Our Twisted Hero [우리들의 일그러진 영웅] by Yi Mon-Yol

This novel was also not something I would usually read but it was a very distinct book. It’s narrated by a young boy who moves from a big city to the country and finds his life going in an unexpected direction.

reminder

i know that coming back to school might be scary. but we can do it. we’re going to do so good and in a year, we’re going to laugh at how scared we were.
