Language study update

My daily language study looks something like this:

- 5-10 minutes of Supermemo repetitions.

- 5 minutes of reviewing a portion of a long-ago Sogang lesson (what I review changes from week to week).

- 15 minutes of studying last week’s portion of a Sogang lesson.

- 30 minutes of studying this week’s portion of a Sogang lesson. I look up new vocabulary, write out sentences for my commute, listen to the audio (10-15 times), and read it out loud (5-10 times).

- Tuesdays and Wednesdays I watch the latest 러브홀릭 episodes, 60 minutes each. While watching, I select a scene to study further (not too long, not too much dialogue). After watching, I record the audio.

- Whenever KBS releases 러브홀릭 scripts, I pull the scene I’ve recorded from the script and study it, noting new vocabulary and marking confusing parts for my weekly lesson. I might spend 30-60 minutes a week on this one.

- I spend 0-45 minutes a day on 한자. I’m still behind, but not as much as a month ago.

Until I get caught up with 한자, I’m not adding any new parts to my study program. However, there are plans afoot to increase the amount of my writing and speaking. Undoubtedly I will have more to say later.

Adding up all of those numbers tells me that I spend nearly 10 hours a week studying Korean, which doesn’t include any review I do during my commute.

Kangmi, pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is this "supermemo repetition" study that you refer to?

Nice study plan, by the way. The only thing I might add is some sort of extensive reading component.

Scott, Supermemo is a flashcard program that selects which items to review based on your past performance. Things you know don't need to be reviewed often. Things you've forgotten need to be reviewed more frequently.

It's really a remembering tool, rather than a learning tool. One shouldn't add items to Supermemo that one hasn't already learned.
