Word Champ

2

Fellow Korean language enthusiast and blogger Amanda from Amanda Takes Off left a comment about learning vocabulary through WordChamp.com. I started an account last night and can already tell that this is going to be a great resource for studying Korean..

The main benefit of Word Champ will be gaining new vocabulary through flashcard drills.There are plenty of Korean word lists and I have created a few lists based on words that I have forgotten from the first couple of Sogang books. The only downfall to the Korean lists is that I have found very few with pronunciations added to the card.

I still am in the process of learning all the features and you can gain more features by becoming a member for $10 a year but I don’t know if it is worth it yet. I love the fact that it keeps up with your scores and let’s you know how many times you missed a word while going through the drills. And speaking of drills, you can practice your list in a number of ways.

  • Pronunciation
  • Reading Practice
  • Flashcard Review
  • Translation
  • Listening Comprehension
  • Dictation

I have been concentrating on flashcard review drills but have plans to go through all the different drills before I retire a batch of cards. I look forward to exploring the site more extensively and hope that it will be just one more way to study Korean effectively.

July 3rd Random Vocab

1

These are a combination of words from previous lessons that I have forgotten and words that popped up this week that I didn’t know.

I’m trying to not add to many words per week.  I have a habit of creating huge vocabulary lists and then never making it through them. I am trying to add about 50-100 a week to my flash cards.  I am also in the process of adding words from 2A to my list. I know that there are other language learners that read this blog. How many words are you learning a week?

꾸벅꾸벅-dozing off
과음하다-to drink to much
살이 빠지다-to lose weight
왕따-,loser/loner
암내-armpit smell
얻다-to acquire/obtain
노력-effort
동의-agreement
인정-admission
후회-regret
가난하다-to be poor
간단하다-to be simple/basic
강의하다-to lecture
고르다-to pick or choose
전쟁터-battlefield

I am in the process of a major overhaul of this blog. My content will slowly be changing as well.  I love taking photographs and the size of the old design was perfect for sharing my photography.  The problem is that I am moving away from just sharing photographs and wanted to have more posts about Mississippi, Korea, ESL topics, and Korean language topics. I will still be posting photographs but have also created a quick gallery of some of my photos here. The old design just wasn’t useful in sharing much besides photography. I felt that every post needed a photograph and not just a snapshot. I found that I was posting less and less. Hopefully, the new layout will provide a better user experience along with more information.

I am also still in the process of working on two new pages. The first being information for English teachers in Korea who ask me  about Dongtan, South Korea. I still receive about 3-5 emails a month with questions about the area. I have also started receiving emails from Koreans who want to go the University of Southern Mississippi or William Carey University in Hattiesburg, MS so I am working on a page with information on those topics as well. This page will probably be written mostly in Korean.

I am also in process of updating my blog roll and links. I especially need to update my list of other bloggers who are studying Korean. I recently created a new page for my Korean Language learning plan with resources and you can find more Korean language information there.

I also imported all the posts from my old blog. I still need to go back and re-size some images in my older posts so that they fit better with the new site design.

To sum it all up, smaller photos, more posts, and a new design!
