Days until TOPIK Exam: 26
Sorry for the late update. Welcome to my 4th weekly update on my journey towards the TOPIK exam! As a Korean language tutor from Malaysia, maintaining a TOPIK 6 level is crucial for me to provide the best guidance to my students. This week, I continued my focus on advanced grammar and vocabulary using "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습" and practiced writing with "2021 한국어능력시험 TOPIK 2 쓰기" as well as some past papers. Here, I am showing you my study logs, the resources I used, and my reflections on this week's progress.
Weekly Goals:
Complete 2 grammar sections (pg58-60) of "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습".
Complete 3 sets of vocabulary (pg21-26) of "TOPIK 대비 고급어휘·문법 활용연습".
Study "2021 한국어능력시험 TOPIK 2 쓰기" and revise the questions 53.
Complete few sets of past papers (writing sections)
