That was my strategy too, so I don't think playing Pokémon games is really relevant to choosing a strategy!

Yeah, I just did it again, and it was even quicker the second time. I wonder if I'm getting lucky or something. How odd

I'm curious what strategy everyone is using

For me I felt like I defeated the unicorn more quickly than the lion. My strategy was to bandage or get homesick whenever I was blinded or my attack and agility were lowered, and for attacking I just threw rocks.

This is also my strategy in Pokémon... I mostly rely on one attack really heavily. I only use other attacks when considering type advantage

In Korean, there are subject particles that attach to the subject of the sentence and object particles that attach to the object of the sentence. I can now identify both subjects and objects very well in English and Korean

I'm doing well. How're you?

Hello Lina!

I get what you mean about breaking the habits of your first language. I think the most difficulty I had with Korean was at the beginning. Even the basic difference in sentence structure hurt my brain at first, but now it feels natural. There was also the use of particles and the lack of pronoun usage

I also became more interested in the history of languages since I started learning Korean. It's interesting how languages change over time

I've never had impossible meat either

Also I liked how the books would often use grammar from previous lessons in the example sentences in later lessons. It built upon itself pretty well. It helped reinforce the grammar points already learned. There were a few times where a grammar point that hadn't been taught yet would be used, but it was okay for the most part.

Grammar is an interesting thing to me. The way a sentence is made and how different parts of the sentence relate to each other... It's like a puzzle. Learning Korean grammar made me want to learn more about English grammar. It makes me wonder about grammar in other languages as well

For me I started off my Korean learning by going through three books: Korean Grammar In Use Beginning, Korean Grammar In Use Intermediate, and Korean Grammar in Use Advanced. Part of the grammar from the first book had been made into an Anki deck by someone else, so I downloaded that deck and added on to it as I went. I also added new vocabulary into a vocabulary deck as I went. I really enjoyed studying grammar in this way, but I can understand why some people would want to try a more natural approach

One thing I like to do is watch a video without subtitles and then watch it again with subtitles. It's interesting to see if I didn't understand certain parts because I didn't know the vocabulary or grammar being used or if it was purely a lack of listening ability.

I do think tone and such are useful, and the more you listen the more you get used to like the rhythm and sound of the language.
