Five Words a Day

Well that was a bit optimistic. I'm learning, on average, a saying of five or six words every two days. Days when I hike or just spend with my English friends usually equal zero new words. That being said I'm able to get by much easier than I was at first. I can request no pork or no chicken, I can ask someone how to get somewhere, how much something costs, and what time it is. I can kind of understand what people are saying. I'm pretty sure that I overheard an older man say "I wish that the English teachers would all go home", while glaring at me on the subway.

I need to step this goal up a bit. I'm become so caught up in going out and "doing" things that I'm falling behind. To stay on track I'm going to stop reading all books except my language books for the next week(which is going to be hard as someone just lent me Kingdom Com and Northhanger Abbey). I'm also going to devote thirty minutes to studying Korean a day. By next month I should be back on track!
