Ten Minute Miracle
What can you do in ten minutes?
You can sleep or browse aimlessly and watch time pass by. Or for ten minutes devote yourself to a productive task each day and over time you will see a miracle. This is how I study Korean, just ten minutes a day. Then through the day I have time to reflect and practice in my mind. Is there anything that you wanted to do, but just couldn't because you don't have enough time?
Actually I don't have enough time to continue this blog. My youngest son complained that I paid more attention to the blog than to him. That was becoming true and disheartened me. After a month of not posting I look at this community with a new eye. I see this community as the best place to share a small part of my life.
Everyday I will take ten minutes to document one of the activities I have been working on during the day.
I am a work in progress.
This is today's ten minute activity, a simple emoticon for my wife.
That was my ten minutes art sketch. Today I also got my ten minutes of Korean study at KBS. I listen to a passage and write down key words. This was the news I listened to today. It's about how 100 years ago the first Independence movement march was reenacted.
I know there has to be a better way to learn Korean than watching the News. I think I would be better off watching a 개그콘서트.
Peace,
What a great idea! I was studying Spanish and spending about 15-30 min a day and then I totally stopped! I learned spanish in grade school, high school and college. I was just at the point where i was getting good at it again when I stopped. Now you have inspired me to just try 10 min a day!
Thank you @violetmed,
I recommend finding a simple Spanish news station you like or a Spanish Youtuber or singer that fits your interest and listen for a minute then think about it and try to recall any new words or phases. Spend a couple minutes to look up what they mean and get on with your life. From time to time those words will come back to you during the day. Most people stop language study because they reach a peak. It is better to slow down not stop.

We have to step away at times. I would love to be able to spend more time on Steemit and more time writing my chapters and even with my son out of the house now life still just seems to get busy. Of course, I bring it on myself lol. But I am happy to say that just last weekend I finally got my first guitar lesson. And the guitar i bought two years ago finally came out of its case. And in a matter of two hours, my fingers hurt but I learned the first part of this song...
It took me a while to get to it, but I'm thrilled that I got started and you're right just 10 mins a day is all it takes.
That is awesome. I know the feeling of learning a new song. Don't give up.

I was wondering why you stopped posting. But a few mins everyday shouldnt hurt ☺
And i like how youre improving your korean. Incremental steps!
Thanks @roundbeargames,
I should improve. I wanted to include the news clip our our neighbor Mr. Chun going to court in Gwangju but instead I added something more positive. I really need to learn to laugh in Korean.
haha! Howdy sir mineopoly! wow that is a great idea. And it works! It's practical and good advice. How many years to you think it will take to learn the Korean language using this method?
I think if you start now and study ten minutes a day you will be able to understand a news video like that in two years.
Howdy sir mineopoly! well that's not bad at all, as fast as time flies by. I wonder if Spanish is easier to learn, I'm guessing it is?
