Another month of work. The May report will probably look a lot like this.
As my time as a college student winds down, my busy-meter is doing just the opposite. I did manage to get some reading done with all the dead time throughout my days, but I expect these next two months will contain relatively little reading.
Also, Shion Miura (三浦しをん) is quickly becoming one of my new favorite authors. I also have her work 舟を編む waiting on my bookshelf, so finishing that will be one of my goals for the month of April.
Here’s a mini post about a language learning website focused on Asian Languages.
WOW this semester is busier than I expected.
And WOW 夜は短し歩けよ乙女 was such a difficult-yet-worth-it read.
Oh tadoku. What a great way to start off the year.
Time to review what I read.
I found a great site for reading practice.
Basically, it is an online graded reader made for students, starting from elementary and continuing through high school, so you can start from the beginning of your studies.
It starts off with just learning how to pronounce the 한글, then it moves on to vocabulary and eventually sentences and short stories. It even starts including Hanja, the Chinese characters used in Korean.
You can check it out here.
If you can’t yet read Korean, click on where it says 초등학교 (elementary school). It should be the second item in the menu at the top of the page. You can just start there and move through the items at your own pace. Then you can move on to 중학교 (middle school)and 고등학교(high school).
This is a great resource for anyone using the “pure” tadoku approach.
