analyzing historical passages in the blistering summer heat. 4/10 do not recommend. on a side note I am down to marry whoever invented mildliners. 

What cool thing would you do if you had more time or energy? I think I would try to learn aerial silks! I went to a free intro class which it was pretty fun, but I’ve already committed to some other hobbies that take up most of my free time after work and Chibird. 😅

Sometimes little actions can help brighten your day a lot! ☀️ What are your little tricks to add joy into your day?

KOREAN MUSIC VOCAB CHALLENGE CHALLENGE BY KOREANSTUDYNETWORK

Hello, everyone!! Here we are with another challenge. This one is to encourage learning Korean vocabulary (and maybe a little grammar, you guys decide), but this time using music. Since a lot of people started learning Korean because of music, especially k-pop, I thought it was a nice idea to use that to learn more.

How will this challenge work? I’m going to list a few categories of song and for each category, you will have to pick a song that fits, read the lyrics and learn about the vocabulary on that song. If you wanna focus only on vocab, that’s ok. If you know a little more of Korean and want to focus on grammar you found on the lyrics too, that’s ok as well. It doesn’t have to be only k-pop (in case you’re learning Korean but don’t like k-pop lol), it only has to be a song in Korean.

Do I have to do the challenge every day? Nope. Unlike our last challenge, with this one, you guys are free to decide how you will do it. If you want to do it one song per day, one per week, all songs in one day, that’s up to you.

If you guys make posts with the vocab you learned here on tumblr, use the tag #koreanstudynetwork so we can see it and reblog.
