Learning Korean has not been an easy thing for me. I guess I don’t quite have the affinity for the language. Added to that, with so many things keeping me occupied, I certainly don’t have much headspace to accommodate more.
I am also one who hates memorising things. I will remember things better with associations and relationships. Unfortunately, learning Korean means having to learn its vocabulary from scratch, and I will need to learn a lot of it to be able to speak and understand the language. So I have no choice but to memorise the words.
So far, it has been very much one ear in and the other ear out for me. Out of sight and out of mind. Even something as easy as counting numbers or learning the names of the days of the week, I find it so difficult to remember. Memory fails me! On rare occasions, something electric might happen and I can suddenly remember! But it will be short term memory, as usual!
Last week, I received a very thoughtful gift. Many thanks, Priscilla! Your gift of a Korean language learning book with Park Sihoo-ssi made my day! It will be incentive for me to push on with my Korean learning! What with 아름다운 남자 박시후 씨 meaning “beautiful man Park Sihoo-ssi” keeping me company as I lay the foundation, again, in trying to get my basics right! What wonderful incentive!
I am getting my second win with Korean! Slowly, bit by bit, no matter how difficult!
And Park Sihoo-ssi, like what it says on the cover “We love you so much! 우리는 단신 너무 사랑해요!” Did I get my basic Korean right, teacher 성생님?
Ok, I am going back to the drawing board!
再次有动力学习韩语
对我来说,学习韩语一直不是一件容易的事情。我想我是没有学习语言的天份,也因为有好多事情需要我的关注,所以脑袋缺乏空间可以再容纳更多了。
我也是个讨厌背书的人,如果事情有链接或相连关系,我会更好记得。不巧的是要学会和了解韩语就得学习很多词汇,所以别无选择,只能死背。到目前为止,我的学习过程就是一只耳朵进去,另一只耳朵出来,看不到就给忘得一干二净。即使是要记一些简单的数字或一星期的名称读法,我也觉得非常困难。记忆真的特别差了!在极少数情况下,会突然来电记起来!但这记忆可是短暂的!
就在上周,收到了非常贴心的礼物。非常感谢,Priscilla!她给了我一本朴施厚韩语学习书。非常高兴收到这礼物!这将会激励我再次努力学习!跟“아름다운 남자 박시후 씨 美丽的男生朴施厚”一起学习韩语。这本书可以帮我重新学习,奠定我的韩文基础!是非常有动力的奖励哦!
所以,对韩语学习有了第二次的动力!会慢慢地学习,不管多么困难!
施厚君,就如那本书的封面所写的“We love you so much!我们非常爱你!우리는 단신 너무 사랑해요!”我的基本韩语通过吗,老师성생님?
好吧,重新开始学习!
