📝 Transform Your Skills: The Magic of Korean Journaling
Stop just memorizing words. Start expressing your thoughts. Journaling is the bridge to true fluency.
Why Should You Write Every Day?
Unlike passive reading, journaling forces you to actively recall grammar and vocabulary. It builds a personal connection to the language. By writing just a few sentences daily, you'll find yourself starting to "think" in Korean.
1. The "3-Sentence" Rule for Beginners
You don't need a masterpiece. Focus on consistency over perfection. Start with these three steps:
- Morning Reflection: How are you feeling right now?
- The Plan: What is one thing you will do today?
- The Memory: What was the best part of yesterday?

👩🏫 Teacher Hoon's expert Tips
1. Don't translate: Try to build the sentence directly in Korean. Even if it's simple, it's better than using a translator.
2. Use Naver Dictionary: For vocabulary, use Naver Dictionary—it provides the most natural example sentences.
3. Review Weekly: Every Sunday, read your entries for the week. You'll be surprised at how much your confidence grows!
