엄마는 요리를 잘해요. 엄마는 친절하고 따뜻한 사람이에요. 엄마가 만든 김치찌개가 정말 맛있어요.

누나는 대학생이에요. 누나는 저보다 두 살 많아요. 누나는 음악을 좋아해요. 기타를 잘 쳐요. 저한테 노래를 불러 줘요.

우리 가족은 주말에 함께 시간을 보내요. 보통 공원에 가서 산책을 해요. 그리고 맛있는 음식을 먹어요.

우리 가족은 서로 많이 사랑해요. 저는 우리 가족이 정말 좋아요! 😊

It means:

Let's see  what happens and we will make decisions  
let's go with the flow  because we are unsure of the plan
we will make decision on the go
we don't need to make our decision final now  because we don't know what's gonna happen next, so we will see what happens  and make decisions based on the events !!!

私には弟が1人います。弟は5歳年下です。
私と弟は会えば話しますが電話やメッセージなどは用がない限りしません。
多分1年に数回しか連絡しないと思います。
でも、弟は月に2，3回は実家に顔を出すので私が日本にいるときは月に1度くらいは実家で会うことが多いです。
弟と私の性格は全然違います。弟は総合格闘技をしている理学療法士で体を動かすこととバイクを改造することが趣味です。一方で私は家にいるのが好きで運動が大嫌いです。愛犬の散歩と週に1度のボルダリングが唯一の運動です。弟は海外旅行にあまり興味がなく、ついこの前初めてタイに行ったのが初めての海外旅行でした。とても楽しくてまた旅行したいと言っています。私は18歳の頃から1人でアメリカやカナダに行ったりしていて、中学生のころからいつも海外に憧れていて英語の勉強に力を入れていました。
弟と会う時、話すことと言えば仕事のこと、生活のこと、最近行ってよかった場所などです。最近は弟がタイ旅行に行ったのでタイの話で盛り上がりました。タイでぼったくられそうになった時の話やタクシーの配車アプリが便利だったこと、今回はバンコクとアユタヤだけだったので次はチェンマイに行きたいことなどでした。

영희의 일기

월요일
오늘은 학교에 갔어요. 아침에 일어나서 세수를 하고 밥을 먹었어요. 그리고 가방을 챙기고 학교에 갔어요. 친구들과 인사하고 교실에 들어갔어요.

첫 번째 수업은 한국어였어요. 선생님이 글자를 읽고 따라 하라고 했어요. 나는 천천히 읽고 선생님 말씀을 잘 들었어요. 친구들도 열심히 공부했어요.

점심시간이 되었어요. 친구들과 같이 밥을 먹고 이야기를 했어요. 나는 김밥과 과일을 먹었어요. 너무 맛있었어요.

오후에는 미술 수업이 있었어요. 그림을 그리고 색칠을 했어요. 나는 나무와 하늘을 그렸어요. 예쁘게 잘 그려서 기분이 좋았어요.

학교가 끝나고 집에 갔어요. 숙제를 하고 저녁을 먹었어요. 오늘 하루가 재미있었어요.

Yeonghee’s Diary
Monday
Today, I went to school. In the morning, I woke up, washed my face, and ate breakfast. Then, I packed my bag and went to school. I greeted my friends and entered the classroom.

The first class was Korean. The teacher read the letters and told us to follow along. I read slowly and listened carefully to the teacher. My friends also studied hard.

During lunchtime, I ate with my friends and talked with them. I ate kimbap and fruit. It was very delicious.

In the afternoon, I had an art class. I drew pictures and colored them. I drew a tree and the sky. I felt happy because I drew them beautifully.

After school, I went home. I did my homework and ate dinner. Today was a fun day. 😊

Instead of skipping your study session, try to do something manageable, even if it’s just for 5 or 10 minutes. This small effort prevents the disruption of your learning habit and keeps you from falling into the “rest zone” for too long. Remember, a little bit of progress each day compounds over time, and that’s how big results are achieved.

Once you take a break from studying for too long, it becomes increasingly tempting to stay in that “rest mode.” We’ve all experienced this—one day off turns into two, and suddenly a week has gone by. The longer you rest, the harder it becomes to start again. This is not just a language learning issue; it’s a cognitive phenomenon called the inertia effect, where the longer we avoid an activity, the more mental resistance we build up toward starting it again.
