Studying korean and reporting it in spanish (a spanish only study log)

:lotus: :sun_behind_small_cloud: monace 2025 Korean Spring Equinox Readathon :sun_behind_small_cloud: :lotus:

Today is the day! I’ve been following the actual readathon on Wanikani, and it’s been so much fun seeing everyone post their updates, milestones, setbacks… And now I get to do the same!


Reading materials & goals :bookmark:

I’ll just keep going through my reading list, but I’ll post the titles here without the Natively links so it’s easier to copy and paste later on:

Physical manga

나빌레라 → finish vol. 3 :white_check_mark:

Updates :writing_hand:

8.50 am

Breakfast is served, I am ready to lock in! I declare the readathon open :grin:

9.50 am

나빌레라: went through 3 chapters in 42 minutes. only 2 left and i’ll have made my first goal of finishing it! but i think i’ll save it for later. it’s an easy read, and i still have 23 hours to go.

11.50 am

아빠와 나와 가족이 되자: I powered through and read 64 pages in one hour! Well over my goal of one chapter - noice.

13.40h

이상한 과자 가게 전천당: I read 4 pages :flushed: and I forgot to time it. I think now is a good time for a lunch break!

15.20h

my roommate made me coffee, so i’m back to the grind (aka 이상한 과자 가게 전천당).
this time I actually managed to get into the story and in the ~flow~ and finished the chapter. It took me 37 minutes to read 10 pages - not bad eh! I’ll add time for the pages I read earlier and pretend I went at the same pace - which I probably did.
6 more pages and I’ll have reached my goal for this book.
Here’s the setup:

19.40h

I read a chapter of 나빌레라 and took a long break.
I now just finished a nice reading session, and reached my goal of reading 20 pages of 이상한 과자 가게 전천당! I am liking the book, but it is a lot of work. It feels more like deciphering than reading.

So:
나빌레라 - 21 minutes for 20 pages
이상한 과자 가게 전천당 - 35 minutes for 7 pages (like I said, deciphering…)

What’s left? 2 chapters of 나빌레라, 2 chapters of 숲속의 담, and finally 히카루가 죽은 여름.
Be back in a minute!!

20.40h

Finished 나빌레라! The story is getting sad…
That was about 36 pages, in 45 minutes. I felt like my reading was slower, but it’s on par with the previous chapters.
Now I need a break from reading :grin:

22.40h

Had dinner and read 3 chapters of 숲속의 담… I was going to read only 2, but how am I supposed to resist a cliffhanger?
I’m definitely loving the aroace vibes more and more… 담 has my whole entire heart, and 미쉬 is right behind him.
Also, 77 pages in 42 minutes?? Hello??

23.45h

I finally got to today’s treat, 히카루가 죽은 여름. I almost let myself get carried away and finish it, but I held on. Still, I read more than my one (1) planned chapter :sweat_smile:
56 pages in 34 minutes(!!)
