Inspirational Input

Language and
Life
aren’t
separate.

SRS. Besides learning how to read and listen to Korean, another great use for this tool, is to inspire and guide. I give great credit to AJATT for this. I gather quotes, I like, from AJATT’s twitter feed,  good pieces of advice, cool quotes,  or stuff I’ve discovered about Korean, and stick them in the PD (Personal Development) deck of my SRS. Whenever I feel even a  little dread about anything to do with learning Korean I open up the PD deck and I’m reminded that I may need to change something with my study habits or even life in general. The quote cards that I feel I haven’t followed through with or have forgotten about, I fail those. The ones that are clear in my mind or the ones that I follow more or less, I give a better grade. It has worked out pretty well for me. After reading through about 30 cards I open up a Korean sentence deck and start crazy-deleting bad sentences (’cause it feels good),  or I open up a Korean book I forgot about and begin reading, or I just do whatever…in Korean.
