Happy New Year, Jack! Speaking of mental health, As a Korean, This year was sort of… depressing. It's not only about my personal issue with the bad outcome of 수능, but also about the ending of 2024, which concluded with such a tragic plane crash. I hear bad news about it everywhere. I wish everyone throughout the world to have a better time next year. No more accidents, terrorism, wars... it's such an ideal-an unrealistic wish, though... and plus, I wish for a better outcome with 수능. I know that It's always up to myself, and This is my last opportunity to enter a university that I've looked up to since my childhood. Gotta give it all I got next year.

[@JacksEnglish]

Hi! Thanks for sharing your thoughtful answer. I'm sorry to hear things didn't go so well, and yes, what an awful end to the year in Korea. On the plus side, your English in this comment is fantastic, and hopefully 2025 is full of success and opportunities! All the best with your next try of the 수능 and take care of your health through those long days of study.

I'm listening these podcasts to improve my listening skills here's how i'm using my technique:firstly i should listen podcast without any subtitles and try to understand the meaning.secondly,i watch with subtitles and highlight unknown words, phrasal verbs, collocations or just unknown everything in podcast and i learn them well and thirdly i watch podcast again and i should understand everything in podcast, conversely if i don't comprehend the podcast again fully and i should practice again with new words.However if i understand everything in podcast in step 3 and i don't have to practice words or any phrasal verbs again.Then in 4th step i should speak/write summary of podcast i mean note-taking i should take notes from podcast.After that from these tips and methods i can improve my listening sharply and please give me advice:how many podcasts should i practice every day with these methods?and are these patterns good to improve listening skills?Am i doing well?
