안녕하세요 여러분!

Hello everyone! I am Jess, and welcome to my blog. (ˆ-ˆ)/

I am new to posting on Langblr, but I have been in the community for quite some time (really quietly lol). So I decided to finally make a proper account and post about my progress and the Korean language.

about me:

She/her;

I teach English (as a second language);

learning Korean since 2019;

My MBTI is INFP;

I really like to watch series (specially sitcoms);

My goals for 2023

Long-term goals:

Korean: reach B2 level.

English: I am already C2, but I want to keep improving it, specially my reading and writing. Maybe study for the IELTS.

Spanish: I have some classes at school, but I would like to self-study a bit to be able to have a conversation in Spanish (at least?).

Short-term goals:

Korean: start studying it again, everyday. I also would like to review my beginner grammar book and start using mainly contextualized books, with conversations and vocabulary.

English: read some of the books in English I've bought, like Pride and Prejudice.

Hello langblr!!! I know I am several months late to this challenge, but better late than never, right?

I am Jess, and I've never had a langblr account, but I've - for a real long time - been meaning to make one to motivate myself to study more and be able to track my progress, so here I am!

My native language is Portuguese, and I've been studying English for more than 5 years. My target language is Korean, and I know a bit of Spanish.

I hope to remember all of the Korean I forgot during the past months I didn't study and to get used to posting in a language blog.

Also, I want to be able to reach TOPIK 3 by the end of the year, so hopefully everything will go according to plan and I will have some time every week to study haha.
