well hello my friends, it's nina and today we are studying
hopefully for a long time
i am quite comfortable right now
i hope you are too
i guess it's time to get up now
we are back to studying korean
and i just realized that in my last studying video
i wore this exact hoodie
but that's okay
clothes are meant to be worn multiple times
i'm going to study for as long as i can today
before i get tired
i'm just thinking back to the days when i was in college
when my entire day revolved around studying
i was up early in the morning to get ready for class
i would commute for about an hour
i would go to my first class at 8am or 9am
then throughout the day i would have classes
and because i couldn't go home
i was stuck in the libraries and student union buildings
basically i had no break
my lunch breaks, i would have lunch next to my laptop
then i would go to more classes
and sometimes the classes reached until the evening to 4 5 6 pm
i had some film classes back then and
our screenings would be at night
we would watch movies, basically as a class together
in a separate class at night
then usually after all my classes i went back to the library
i basically got all my assignments and things done before i went home
sometimes i would stay at the library until 12 or 1 am
so basically i was studying the entire day
i don't know how this brain is the same brain that did all that back then
but basically i don't have a plan
but we're just going to study all day together
so i hope you have your refreshments, your snacks
your notebooks, your laptops
your books, anything you need
let's have a proper studying date together
i think i'll also show you my studying techniques hopefully throughout this video
i have multiple studying techniques
but also i haven't done this in a while
so i need to get the brain jogging
for now i have my korean learning website open
it's howtostudykorean.com
this is basically the only website that i use right now
it just gets the job done and is kinda easy to use
i have my water as always
ahhh
what are my snacks of choice today?
i have nuts as always
just a little container of them, i used to carry this around in college
my bones just cracked
this has almonds, cashews
got some pistachios, got some naked almonds
what's going on
got some naked almonds
great source of energy
and then i've also got my tomatoes
not only do i have tomatoes but i also have grapes
a good combination
anyway we're going to study now
i feel like i should show my hair once in this video
my hair has gotten so long, i need a trim
i don't have a particular lesson i want to learn
actually i do
i have to find it
but the way i study
the way i study, instead of going by order like you're kinda supposed to
i kinda hop around,
just because i'm curious
and i want my answers questioned
but that's because i'm curious and i want my questions answered
i need my charger
perfect
but there will be a korean grammar structure in my head that i want to look up
and finally understand what it means
so that's kinda what we're doing again
i did cover a lot of the basics so
that's why i want to skip around
but then there are days where i want to actually go by order
it's kind of a mess, don't do that
but there is a lesson i looked up recently
it's a grammar structure i've been focusing on more
just because i've heard it a lot more recently
so i am going to lesson 51
and we are studying ~기도 하고...
omg
my korean
~기도 하고
it's been a while
~기도 하고
~기도 하다
~기도 하고 ~기도 하다
omg i kinda lost it for a second
so i'm going to study ~기도 하고 ~기도 하다
which basically emphasizes verbs and sentences with the word too
i've heard this a lot, i've been focusing on it more recently
i think this is a great place to start
of course if you're not studying korean
study whatever you're studying
you're doing great and i'm proud of you
let's do this together
i'm gonna have a grape
so unit 3 lesson 51
i also haven't written in a while
so i don't really remember how to hold a pen
51
so we've got a lot of vocabulary, i don't know if i want to write it all down though
but that's also one of my flaws
my vocabulary's still kinda limited
which has been making korean kinda hard for me to learn
my vocab is very simple
and so i can get by, but
i can't get into deeper conversations with people
as if i talk to anyone
but i can't talk about more things basically
maybe i should write it down but
for time's sake, we'll just skip it for now
i'm just going to get into the actual important stuff which is
the grammar
adding ~do to a simple noun
yes i know that ok
so as we know we add ~do to nouns
to add a meaning of as well or too to the noun it is attached to
and we also learned we can add ~gi to nouns or adjectives
so after i write the header and a little definition i like to indent again
and add an example
most of my notes end up being examples
just because after i have the basic meaning of the grammar structure
all i really need is examples of it
everyone's studying method is different but
that's just what's more efficient for me
so here we go
for the translation i'm gonna write it in a different color so i can see it better
and basically i do this until the end of the lesson
and that will be the end of a lesson
i think it's good to not overwhelm yourself
and just keep a good pace
don't try to do everything in one sitting
give yourself a lot of time, things like that
tomato
i'm wearing my blue light blocking glasses
now i'm just writing a bunch of examples
so i can get this in my head
so i can see it in multiple situations
omg i am for some reason not great with cooking terms
that is very necessary vocabulary and
i just never give myself the time to actually
sit down and learn cooking terms
i know a few but, not a great amount
i need to go get an eye appointment
not that my prescription has changed
but because everything expired
it expired so quickly
i'm running out of contact lenses
and i need to get myself to an eye appointment soon
hopefully i do that
but i keep procrastinating
i chopped
onions
and boiled water too
if you ever ask me to teach someone to cook in korean
we would not get a finished meal
"and feel tired"
it gave me "feel difficult"
but i think it makes more sense to say "feel tired"
or "exhausted"
make sure that you're taking breaks
it's okay to take a break
it's ok to rest
it's ok to not be doing something
and to be producing something
and just churning things and results out all the time
sometimes a very productive thing to do is rest and take care of your health
make sure that you're feeling good
because if you're trying to do a lot of things
while your body is exhausted
while you're not in the right mindset to do things
then it's going to be even more difficult
and you won't really get the right result you want
it'll just be more difficult and
it'll take a toll on your mental health and physical health
just remember to rest, sometimes i still struggle with that too
even when i rest i feel like i'm not allowed to
or i'm not supposed to be doing this
and sometimes even resting feels exhausting
so it's definitely about making sure you're okay, mentally and physically
depending on the situation
sentences with this structure can be used
to indicate that sometimes one action is done, and sometimes another action is done
cool
i heard of this in certain situations
i think another thing that's important about learning any language basically
is just having a lot of context
i've said this many times in past videos but
basically if you have enough korean just in there somewhere
when you learn something you have all the sentences in here
and they finally come out
and you'll be like, oh, so that's what that means
of all times??
of all times my aim wants to be good now??
i threw my white-out into my tomatoes
it's okay
it's fine
that scared me
when we used to watch movies and have dinner too
there's a translated definition down there
ok i was close
i was close
another thing i like to do is translate things on my own
and hopefully there is a translation
a correct translation somewhere
and then you can compare if you got it correct or not
trying to get the brain moving
yay!!
i finished a lesson it took 1.5 pages
which is usually around how much i get done
i think now i'm going to write the vocabulary from this lesson
so i can have it in my brain somehow
i have plenty of room for some vocab on the bottom half
gonna get that taken care of
i don't need a ruler
freehand
oh wait i know some of these words
i'll write it anyway
done
here are the final notes of the lesson
and as you can see i like to summarize it and get to the point
i just write the definition or the meaning
and then a bunch of examples
i got some more examples here
and then the vocab at the bottom
so we're done with that
i like using a big notebook for my korean
i think now to continue my korean studies
i'm going to go on my phone
onto quizlet and bais
basically study the flashcards there
i haven't done that in a while
it's basically flashcards on my phone
and i'm surprised i'm not doing this more often
especially because i have my phone with me at all times
so i'm going to kinda open that up
get my brain going again
i used to use quizlet for my college studies
it's been a while
so today i think i'm going to do that
then probably end the night with lyric translations
it's not really me actively trying to make the translations but it's me basically learning the lyrics to songs
and then writing the english translations for them available on the internet
it's fun to do and it's a great way to work on your handwriting
because you're writing a lot of korean
but let's get studying
ah comfy.
do you like my koya socks?
i like them
so i think i'm going to learn cooking terms
that's very important
and i finally want to learn more about that
so these i know
i think i just gave up on finishing making the set a long time ago
and i've heard these used before
so i need to remember them
if you're studying korean or any language
try to speak out loud as much as you can
it's all about muscle memory and training
let's go flashcards
it got dark all of a sudden
what color should i do?
i like this one
stay hydrated
my battery's really gonna die during my outro?
hold on
so that is the end of this very long study session
but basically i did the normal things i do if i study korean
i go through notes, i go through lessons
i study flashcards on my phone
because there's so much vocabulary and stuff to go through
and then i also studied some lyrics and the translations
these are some of my favorite things to do when i'm studying
but there's a whole lot more techniques out there
but i hope you enjoyed our time together
i always love making study videos because it feels like i'm studying with a friend
i may not be in college anymore
but studying is a life-long process and it's fun
i am going to go have dinner and call it a night
but thank you for spending this time with me
and for being my study buddy
we are going to bring it in for a hug as always
thank you for watching and for being here
and i will see you next time! goodbye my friends :)
