2018년 7월 16일 / Found this Korean alphabet reference from my old notes when I first started studying Korean. Also, I decided to restart my account because I have always wanted to try a new feed theme and finally did it! What do you think of the new minimal white theme?

Ahh I rlly love ur notes and the neatness of them! Do u have any tips on how to get a cursive as pretty as urs? (Like the cursive u used for the title “the Korean alphabet”)

Hello! Thank you so much! 

Here are two simple tips I have to master cursive writing:

1) Choose the right pen. In terms of pen tip sizes (0.3 mm, 0.5 mm or 0.7 mm), try writing out the alphabet with different tip sizes and see which suits your handwriting best as everyone has their own writing styles such as how small, big, narrow or wide the letters are. In addition, pen type also matters. Try writing and comparing ballpoint pens and gel pens and see which one is more comfortable for you to use. I personally find gel pens more convenient to use for cursive writing as the ink flows much more easily. Gel pens glide smoothly on paper and enables me to easily create the curves I want. 

2) Practice writing the alphabet letters in capital and lower case letters. Another thing that is also very important is to practice writing the same letter joined together. For example: “ll”, “rr”  and “ss” as these are some of the quite difficult ones to write. 

I hope this helps! Good luck!

Wah~ you are so cool~~~ how do you study? How long do your notes take? How do you not get distracted? Do you get distracted? Do you do well with your notes or do you do you study in different ways? Do you listen to music? Do you get distracted with your phone?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! :)

I study by allocating time periods for each of my subjects and focus more on certain topics that I find difficult. I take notes by summarizing chapters in the textbook and making revision flashcards. I also print and compile past papers and time myself while doing it so that I get used to exam conditions.

It usually takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour to finish my notes for one chapter of a subject. However, my math notes only takes about 15 to 30 minutes as they are just a compilation of formulas and basic rules. 

I do get distracted sometimes as it is tempting to check my phone whenever notifications from my social media appear on screen. In that case, I simply switch off my phone notifications or airplane mode it. I rarely listen to music when I study as I personally find it distracting. However, sometimes, I play instrumental songs such as classical music when studying.
