Apparently I received this on January 27, 2023, approximately 10 days after my apartment was destroyed in a fire, so like, I am so sorry for not responding to this, anon, but the timing was a bit on the nose
Guess who’s going to japan this year
Quick poll, based on a post to my company’s yammer:
Does passing TOPIK I make you bilingual (native language + Korean)?
Of course!
Hell no
It depends/there’s nuance
God forbid I post an opinion on the pissing on the poor website

Polylogger: my new favourite website + add me!
Apologies to all of you who follow me already and know this, but…
https://polylogger.com is a wonderful website that lets you track the hours you spend on learning languages! The reason I like it over other methods of tracking is because it lets you separate things by language as well as by type of studying (so listening, reading, writing, speaking etc). This means you can easily see where your time is being spent.
Here’s my dashboard:
In the ‘following’ section, your own logs as well as the logs of people you follow come up, so you can see what your friends are doing. You can name the tasks whatever you like, as well as designating them the label ‘writing’, ‘mixed’, ‘speaking’, and so on.
In the stats section, you can see how much time you spend on each skill! Oh look. I only read for about 5% of my total studying time. Nice job Melissa.
You can also see you can toggle it for different languages: the ones I’m learning at the moment are Esperanto, German, Mandarin and Swiss German.
But seriously, that sort of information is very useful to know. I try to not focus on a specific number of X or Y per day/week, but this website has indeed made me feel quite embarrassed about the lack of time I spend reading. Maybe sort that out?
Regardless of what languages you’re learning, I’d love to add you to get some inter-langblr motivation going! My username is XiaoXi and my profile pic is a picrew of our esteemed lord and ghostly saviour Hua Cheng.
See you there?

Korean resources I’ve found useful lately
TTMIK Level listening dialogues - these are available for free on Youtube, although I believe you need a TTMIK account if you want the transcript on their website. They are short dialogue videos, one for each level of the TTMIK course, involving the vocab and grammar from the appropriate level. I don’t even follow the TTMIK course or books, but these dialogues are a good way to test roughly where you are in your comprehension skills, ranging from beginner to advanced.
TTMIK Iyagi podcast - these are available on Spotify, and each one is usually less than 10 minutes. This is intermediate content; the topics are fairly simple, but the hosts talk naturally and casually to each other at varying speeds and make jokes. Topics include travel, food, family, history etc. Great for picking up common conversational phrases and testing your listening skills.
LingQ - this is a paid membership site but is one of the best things I’ve chosen to do lately. It only costs about as much as any streaming service, and I think its best for bridging the gap between late beginner to early intermediate and beyond. The site is a wealth of content including audio clips, tons of mini stories, song lyric translations etc on every kind of topic. You can study multiple languages, and you progress with points by collecting new vocab that gets added to a flashcard deck that you can revise. ALSO someone has put the transcripts for TTMIK Iyagi podcasts on LingQ, so you can read the whole dialogue while listening and click words to explore meaning and add them to your deck (as well as lots of other TTMIK content and stuff from textbooks!)
