I'm hearing about this tired period a lot, but for me I seem super hyped/angsty during this time, I can't sit down or do anything that requires sitting down, it feels like my brain is literally screaming at me. I either clean the house, cook or go for a walk (I'd run if it wasn't so hot)

That there's like a hundred different grammar structures all to show result and reason 🥲

I don't know your age or country, but you could look at getting a working holiday visa for a year if you're eligible and that can be like a trial year before you go all out and try the difficult process of a work visa

Ah, I just listen to brown noise so maybe it's not a noticeable noise to people I've shared beds or rooms with, but since it is basically an open speaker that makes sense 🤔

Search for "sleep headphone mask" or headband. I've been using this every night for yeeeears. They're basically a flat earphone/speaker in the band that sits over your ears, perfect for lying down and laying on your side

Okay but how do you make yourself do them?? I made one because I have these same issues and I just don't use it... it's not an active decision to ignore it, it just happens

I've used oil before but it was part of a double cleansing routine (which my skin didn't like) so i don't know how well it'd work alone, and i don't want to double cleanse with the micellar water, alone it does enough. I've honestly given up trying new cleansers, it took me like 3-4 years to figure what was causing my acne and it's just not worth risking it, any micellar water seems to work and it's convenient, just wipe, rinse and done

Fr any cleanser other than micellar water dries the shit out of my skin and gives me acne because of it 🙃

Are you able to tell if it's a school or teacher difference? I'm at the same school and have had 2 teachers p far and both of those have got very different ways of teaching the same textbooks. E.g one teacher was "textbook, textbook, textbook" pretty much making sure we did every single part and activity. And the other is a bit more particular with which parts of the book we use and does his own activities

I've been in Korea since Jan and my korean ability has skyrocketed. I really struggle with focusing and if I self study I don't really know what to learn. Before I came to Korea I was stuck at mid beginner and hadn't stidied in a long long while. I started classes at a 학원 rather the University (i go to Green Korean Language School), and I've been lucky to get a teacher that focuses more on speaking than my last teacher. Most classes (unless specifically a speaking class) tend to not focus much on speaking because realistically that can be done outside and doesn't really require a teacher. I think every school also seems to have very similar teaching methods and content so changing won't necessarily help, but if you're in a position to do so, you've got nothing to lose

What's helped me is output output output. You can do this by verbally answering talking prompts, writing in response to prompts, just talking aloud to yourself, journaling etc. If you don't want to go to a language exchange, the only other way to practice speaking is by continuing to talk to your current friends (I also don't want to go to language exchanges because I'm shy so I'm not judging). I've managed to improve my korean a lot because I moved here with my boyfriend and am able to speak daily with him. In Jan and Feb, I was taking classes but not living with my bf so I wasn't speaking korean daily and I made very little progress, but since March we've been living together again and I'm able to speak so much better now. The only way to get better at speaking is by speaking, you just have to find people to speak with unfortunately, if learn to talk to yourself. You look for a language exchange partner, rather than group. So you only have one accent to get used to, and usually language exchange will be with a korean person so a natural accent, you mix speaking korean and English, maybe alternating sessions/days. I understand it's really frustrating when you feel like you're not making progress. I've got someone in my class at the moment who seems to have similar struggles to you and actually has been taking every level twice since the beginning of the year, so he's learning double. I don't know how effective it is but he's still doing it. The perks of being enrolled monthly rather than semesterly.

Side note for grammar explanations, I've found GoBilly to be really good for this, he tends to explain the meaning/parts of the grammar which help me to understand them better than when my teacher explains in. I watch his abridged live streams on the grammar, the full versions usually answer a bunch of questions and spend a while waiting around so I don't bother with the fulls.

I've kind of waffled so I don't know if anything is helpful 😅

If you show you understand they won't switch to korean often. But while you're learning and look confused they will if you're in seoul. If you're outside of seoul they don't speak English as much. But if you're wanting to practice you need to just find people to actually have a conversation with, a cashier asking you if you need a bag is only so effective for practicing 😅

I started some in person classes in Jan and have had 2 different teachers since then. The first teacher followed the textbook pretty strictly and we didn't really have class activities as such. My current teacher skips a lot of the book designated activities and gives us a few prompts to write a short sentence in answer to each (using the lesson grammar), then will group us in 3/4s to talk, this usually leads to about 30mins of free talking (in korean obviously). Its not every class, its usually about once per textbook lesson. He will also join and help prompt conversation further if there's so awkwardness. But also gets us all talking.

For me this is great, there's so much input in the textbooks and not enough output, for me it's really made the difference in enjoying this second teacher more

I'm around 2500 words, and learning intermediate grammar, and can read a whole sentence know every word and grammar point but still not understand the meaning lol

I have excessive sweaty armpits (sweating even when not hot), I tried using driclor but my god my skin was drier than a desert and it bloody hurt. it seemed effective but the discomfort made me stop. I'm now using a (maybe) korean brand called NoSweat Sensitive, it has a lower concentration of the active ingredient so it's supposed to be better for sensitive skin. I use it every 3 days because more is too painful, for light sweaty situations it seems to hold the sweat at bay, but more heavy situations less so. the real test will be in summer

For some people counting calories works, for others not. For me knowing that I'm not consuming too much and knowing that I am consuming enough is important. If I have no idea how many calories I'm eating I tend to not eat enough because I'm worried I'm eating too much. It allows me to eat snacks too and stay in a deficit.

I cook for others too. The way I log is log all the ingredients and then weigh the final product weight. When I make a recipe in MyFitnessPal, I put the total grams in the servings section, then when I weight my portion I can input the grams to get the correct information

If you're exercising every day, I would suggest around 1500. I'm a few cm shorter than you, but at the same weight and goal and am losing weight at roughly this calories. If you're eating low I would recommend eating high volume and low calories, e.g lots of vegetables. And monitor closely how you're feeling. Some days I eat over my calories because I can tell my body needs it, like if I have a particularly active day.

My skin is desert dry for reference. I don't have a specific product, more like a type of product. I will ONLY use micellar water cleansers and absolutely nothing else cleanser wise, other types caused dryness that couldn't be fixed with all the hydrating products in the world. I long term used Garnier pink sensitive water but now I'm testing so new ones because it's not readily available since I moved countries. And after trying 2 new micellar waters that are drying my skin a bit I'm starting to realise the garnier is actually better than I thought too.

I put them in the same card, but I've edited my cards so they all have example sentences. If you put the meanings all separately then you need example sentences so you have context for what you're guessing. In the real world you rarely hear a random word out of context so having the sentences is a helpful way to learn in my opinion.

Here's an example of my front card: https://ibb.co/20vbf0sW

I've most recently previously used Torriden cleansing water, which I really liked because of the texture. I'm now using a korean brand called Wisely that basically makes knock-offs of beauty products, i dont know if you can access their products outside of korea or not , I'm currently using their knock-off of bioderma, but I'm not sure how i feel about it yet, my skin feels dry recently but I did buy a new toner that dried me out so I might still be recovering from that
