Reading Record

Reading Record

Here is a record of articles that I have read in Korean as well as a log to the K-dramas that I have watched. I see this as a way for me to chart my progress in learning the Korean language. Also it makes revisiting an article a lot easier in the future if needed. (I am still at the beginner's level).

I got this idea of a reading log/record after coming across the Korean learning log on Hangukdrama and Korean. Please check out this post for how it all came about.
