How to Find Your Motivation Again
Crossword Puzzle
What's New in Teuida

Let me guess...

Motivation level: zeeero. 🙆🏻‍♀️

All you wanna do is veg out to whatever's up next on Netflix.
And it certainly doesn't help that it's sooooo hot outside! 🥵

If this is you today, I have 2 personal tips to help you get back on your grind.

Tip 1. Remember why you started this in the first place!

Whether you're looking to 🙊 study Korean, 🎷 learn that new instrument, 🧹 clean your room, or, 🤫 finish writing a newsletter, there's no motivation like remembering the why.

Ask yourself: Why did you start this in the first place?

...

....

......

(Go ahead, I'll wait.)

......

....

...

Now! Can you feel that boost of motivation!?

YAY!

Now hold a minute!

Your initial reaction might be to plan something big like booking a flight to Korea ✈️ or buying that $300 guitar 🎸.

But gurlll, let me tell you. IT'S A TRAP! 🦑

You should instead...

Tip 2. Start with a (ridiculously) small step!

Remember that this is a marathon🛣 and not a sprint🏁.

So instead of setting big goals that will seem intimidating by tomorrow morning🙄, try something really really small.

Like just writing one sentence! ✍️
Or throwing away just one piece of trash. 🗑
Or just opening up the Teuida app! (shameless plug-in you knew was coming) 🙆🏻‍♂️

The hardest part is to begin. Or as the wise Korean ajummas would say: 시작이 반이다.

시작- To start
반 - Half
이다 - Is
Starting is half the work.

Once you've done that, the rest of the race is downhill.

You can do it! I'm rooting for you! 🍍

Cross... uhm... Wordsearch Puzzle 🧩

I have a good news and a bad news.

Some of you have been repeatedly asking for a crossword puzzle in the feedback section. (Literally, in every single feedback)

Well, good news: I made you one! ㅋㅋ

The bad news... is that it's actually not a crossword puzzle. ㅠㅠ

(Silly me, didn't know the difference between a crossword and a wordsearch.)

I considered just deleting this and starting over but then I would miss my last bus home and family time is important and I had already missed last week's teugether so i'm sending this the way it is... plus my therapist told me it's okay to not to be okay, so...

Here it is! The CROSS.. WORDSEARCH Puzzle! :)

Find the text abbreviations you learned in our last Teugether. 😎

There are a total of 10 expressions! (Plus one easteregg!!! Reply to this email with the word and your teuida username and I'll add one day of Teuida Premium to your account)

Feedback from You 🍍

Here's what you said regarding our previous issue of Teugether:

😃"These newsletters keep inspiring me to keep practicing my Korean! One day, I'll feel confident enough to carry on a conversation, and not just throw in a bunch of one word comments."
🙆🏻‍♂️: That day will come soon!

😄"It was fun! Short and sweet! The examples are soooo helpful for remembering vocab/slang! Thanks for all your hard work~"
🙆🏻‍♂️: Fun, Short, and Sweet! Thank YOU for your kind words!

😄"This has been such a helpful platform in my 2 year journey with Korean at college! Having found Teuida this spring, I feel like I’m really able to contextualize the different grammar particles and expressions! Thanks so much!!"

🙆🏻‍♂️: Contextualization is Key! :) We're glad we could help.

😃"I saw awhile back in a quiz somewhere that you guys mentioned considering teaching other languages so I was just wondering how the process is going. "
🙆🏻‍♂️: Yes! We were going to. But while talking to a bunch of you on Discord, we've come to the conclusion that the app still needs a lot of work and it'd make more sense to improve the app before expanding to a new language!

😄"Ohh I thought of a question: Where did you get that cardigan from, Yeji?? Super cute."
🐾: Thanks! It's from Zara :)

😡 "Someone should check the grammar because i couldnt understand the part that said "Did you get that?If you did, unfortunately this email is not for you" what is that supposed to mean???"

🙆🏻‍♂️: Got it! English isn't my first language but we're working on it.
