Blog/Study Challenge Episode 1


I have realized two things about myself lately. I suck at blogging, and I suck at studying.
So now I'm recommitting to both in a self-imposed Blog/Study Challenge!

I bought this book about 3 million years ago:



and still haven't finished it!


I'm definitely not a beginner anymore, but my vocabulary is still weak-sauce.


My challenge:

Learn a word a day from this book (skipping words I already know) and use it in 3 sentences on this blog to hold myself accountable. Blogging/studying problem practically erased!


Are you studying Korean too? Help me out if my sentences suck, or give me encouragement on the long 2000 word journey ahead!


Today's Word:

Chapter 2: Emotions: 그립다 (to be missed, to be longed for)


1. 5년 전에 우리 어머니는 돌아가셨습니다. 그래서 우리 어머니가 그립습니다.

2. 한국에서 만나는 친한 친구가 미국에 돌아갔아요. 그 친구가 그리워요.

3. 한국에 온지 3년 됐어요. 제 고향이 그리워요.


Kind of a sad word to start with... makes me a little homesick.

But reinvigorated with the awesomeness of learning!


Happy to report I knew all the words from Chapter 1, yay!
