Review
A lot of childrenโs books again this week! I got a bit bored reviewing them since they had a lot of similarities, so the written reviews dwindled as the week progressed. Now thereโs at least one (non-textbook/reader) book at every level from 1-16 that has been read, rated, and graded (and some reviewed).
Most of the childrenโs books I read are in the TOPIK 1-2 range, a handful are at TOPIK 3 level, and I finished the last few volumes of https://learnnatively.com/series/9d731cd4f2/, which is about TOPIK 4. Learned a lot of new vocabulary from the volumes!
I listened to the audiobook of https://learnnatively.com/book/00b0d0466f/ - there isnโt an ebook available, so my listening skills have been put to the test. After a bit of experimenting, I discovered that slowing the audio didnโt improve my understanding at all, but relistening (at a normal speed) did. I found that on the first listen of each chapter, I only got a vague idea of what was happening, and during subsequent listens I was able to pick up more of the details. Even after listening to each chapter 3 times, I still donโt feel I picked up enough to really feel like Iโve โreadโ it. I might come back to it in a few months to see if I can understand it more easily.
Iโve started reading https://learnnatively.com/book/07fcda2e99/ along with the audiobook, which has been surprisingly enjoyable. Iโm not having any problem following the story, but itโs a bit difficult maintaining concentration, so I have to take breaks every 10-15 minutes. Itโs not a problem really, Iโm just impatient. Iโm sure with practice Iโll be able to increase the time I can spend reading in Korean.
Plans
Since Iโve burned through most of my picture books, Iโd like to read more advanced childrenโs books. There are a few series I have my eye on as I have access to both the ebooks and audiobooks:
- https://learnnatively.com/series/38799c1755/
- https://learnnatively.com/series/d4e2ffc95d/
- https://learnnatively.com/series/6d1e1876cc/
- https://learnnatively.com/series/c1509d4b51/
In a couple of weeks the https://forums.learnnatively.com/t/light-novel-book-club-current-next/3893 is going to be reading https://learnnatively.com/book/b26291e5b3/ - Iโm planning on joining, although itโs way above my current Japanese level. So I thought Iโd read the Korean version, https://learnnatively.com/book/25ba52950b/, to help me. ์ผ์์ด์กฐ! I really hope I like it so I can read a long series and practise both languages.
Iโve ordered a couple of volumes of https://learnnatively.com/series/30b845ffbc/ from https://www.booksonkorea.com/ (havenโt used this site before, so hoping everything goes well ). I read the first 4 volumes when they were published by Tokyopop way back in 2008(
!!) and loved them, and Iโve been planning on reading the series in Japanese at some point, so when I saw it has been translated into Korean, I couldnโt resist. Depending on how it goes with the LNBC, I might end up reading them concurrently.
I canโt be the only one who hears his voice when reading ๊ตญ๊ธฐ, right?
The general plan going forward is:
- Read some childrenโs books at T3 level
- Start reading https://learnnatively.com/series/6960c86a8a/ (about T4)
- Continue with the T5 level books
Iโll just watch shows or movies if/when I feel like it. Probably more https://learnnatively.com/tv/18dc9f92fd/, just because itโs easy and fun.
eta: Iโve broken the links!
