I’m back in Seoul. I had to take two exams the morning after I arrived. I wasn’t at my best but I seemed to handle them quite well. I hope enough to advance to a higher level. Although if I advance to a higher level, I’ll have to do a bit of catching up. My memorisation of vocabulary is slacking a little recently. I’ve memorised words enough to look at them spelt but I struggle to hear them in spoken language. More worrying is I am slowing forgetting previously learned vocabulary. Mostly due to the fact that most of my friends have been trying to speak a lot in English recently. So my priority this term is memorisation of vocabulary. I plan to use words I often forget by using them in everyday life. If I use a word in applied conversation I seem to remember it more than writing it out over and over. Also to use korean before I blurt something out in English. Really my Korean is at the stage where it should all fall in place now. I just need to try my best to make that happen. Fighting!
