Days until TOPIK Exam: 40
Welcome to my second weekly update on my journey towards the TOPIK exam! This week, I continued my focus on advanced grammar, vocabulary, and listening skills.
Weekly Goals:
Complete 3 grammar sections (pg52-54) of "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습".
Complete 3 sets of vocabulary (pg9-14) of "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습".
Continue practicing listening skills through Korean news and podcasts.
Daily Summaries
Day 1 (June 3)
Focus: Grammar
Completed the first grammar section (pg52-53) from "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습".
The exercises were quite intensive but reinforced my understanding of complex sentence structures.
Day 2 (June 4)
Focus: Vocabulary
Studied the first set of vocabulary (pg9-11) from "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습". Also studied "마인드맵으로 배우는 토픽 어휘 2300" and revised chapters 1 and 2.
I tried using Anki for retention, I guess it did help a bit. But I preferred repetitive writing.
Day 3 (June 5)
Focus: Listening Practice
Listened to Korean news podcasts, focusing on current events and economic news. Again, I used Naver News.
Day 4 (June 6)
Focus: Grammar
Completed the second grammar section (pg53-54) from "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습".
Some grammar points were challenging, but repetitive practice is helping. Need to focus more on usage in context.
Day 5 (June 7)
Focus: Vocabulary
Didn't have to much time today, did one set of the vocabulary (pg11-12) from "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습".
Although I didn't have much time, I managed to squeeze in a 10 minutes study session!
Day 6 (June 8)
Focus: Vocabulary
Another busy day, I squeezed in a 20 minutes study session.
Did some revision on the vocabulary on Day 5, and learned some new words today!
This set included some tricky terms that required extra effort. One of the new words I learned this time was 매개하다, which means "to mediate" or "to act as an intermediary." For example, "그는 두 회사 간의 거래를 매개했다" (He mediated the deal between the two companies).
Day 7 (June 8)
Focus: Grammar and Vocabulary Review
Reviewed all grammar sections and vocabulary sets studied during the week.
Recommended Study Materials: Here are some of the study materials I recommend for those preparing for the TOPIK exam. You can find a detailed explanation of these books in my other blog post here.
Plans for Next Week:
Next week, I will continue to focus on enhancing my reading speed and accuracy. My goals are to:
Complete the next 3 grammar sections (pg55-57) of "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습".
Complete the next 3 sets of vocabulary (pg15-20) of "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습".
Continue practicing listening skills through Korean news and more diverse podcasts.
