【韓国語勉強法】私の紙辞書の使い方📖｜マーカー＆付箋を使った勉強ルールを徹底解説

Main ideas / lessons

• The video explains the host’s paper (book) Korean dictionary study method using markers and sticky notes to make studying more motivating and easier to review.
• The host uses a dictionary because it:
  1. Was inherited from her mother and has emotional value.
  2. Helps her learn and review related words quickly (the dictionary entries around a looked-up word appear on the same page).
  3. Acts as motivation, because highlighted/marked entries visibly show her study progress over time.
• The host emphasizes that language learning is long and that motivation is easier when you compare your progress to your past self, not others.
• Although she uses an analog setup, she notes the method can be adapted to other paper textbooks (apps are optional).

Method / instructions (marker + sticky note system)

Step 1: Prepare materials (what to use)

• Markers (3 colors): Mildliner
  • Chosen because they don’t bleed through even on thin pages.
  • Colors: mild yellow, mild orange, pink
• Fine-tip pen: “Macky Care Ultra Fine”
  • Tip sizes mentioned: 0.7mm and 0.3mm
• Sticky notes (2 thicknesses): thin + thick
  • Transparent/film-style preferred so text on the page isn’t fully blocked
• Sticky-note holder setup
  • She uses a clip attached to the dictionary/back with a card containing the sticky notes (thin on one side, thick on the other) so they’re always ready.
• Transparent/semi-transparent sticky notes
  • Mentions these exist, but she says she may not use them much at first.

Also recommended context items

• A dictionary stand/clip mechanism is helpful for quick use.
• If writing in tiny spaces is hard, increase sticky note size (she suggests experimenting).

Step 2: Marker rules (color-coding lookups by frequency)

• First lookup: mark in yellow
  • Highlight the word (and underline it, especially Korean word + meaning)
  • Do not underline example sentences
• Second lookup: add orange on top of the existing yellow
  • The word changes from yellow → orange overlay to show “second time”
• Third lookup: add pink on top
  • Yellow → orange overlay → pink overlay to show “third time”

Overall concept: the same word visually “upgrades” color each time it is re-checked.

Step 3: Sticky note color-coding by entry type / grammar function

Sticky notes are color-coded to reflect what the entry is/does in Korean.

• Green business cards:
  • “business card” category (as described: items that correspond to auxiliary verb/function group used in her explanation)
• Synonyms: pink or red
• Light yellow: another category (“light paper”)
• Blue: “welfare” category
  • She uses light blue for the blue category
• Orange: everything else

Instruction takeaway: sticky note colors help her remember grammatical/semantic roles at a glance.

Step 4: How to place sticky notes based on repetition count

General placement concept

• Dictionaries are typically laid out in two columns, so she sticks notes near the outside edge (left or right column edge).
• Placement is tied to the repetition count.

Repetition workflow

1. 1st time
   • Yellow highlight + thin sticky note attached next to the highlighted area.
2. 2nd time
   • Add orange marker overlay (per Step 2)
   • No new sticky note is added at this step (in her described example).
3. 3rd time
   • Add pink marker line
   • Add a thick sticky note
   • Keep the thin sticky note already there (don’t peel it off)
   • Also write large/clear “third time” information if needed (she emphasizes writing large so it’s unmissable).
4. 4th time
   • Move/relocate the thicker note to the top (she peels off the larger/moving part in the described demonstration).
5. 5th time
   • Would involve a much larger label/note with strong emphasis (she says reaching 5th time is rare and takes many repetitions)
   • She suggests scaling sizes up if space is too small for writing.

Practical example usage (demonstration)

• She shows:
  • Transcribing unfamiliar words on the right side of a page.
  • Looking them up in the pronunciation dictionary.
  • Applying marker color changes and then adding/moving thin vs thick sticky notes based on whether it’s the 2nd/3rd/4th time.

Dictionary(s) featured

• The host primarily uses the Shogakukan Pocket Progressive Kan–Korean dictionary series.
  • She discusses:
    • Her inherited older edition (published around 2005, older than that in earlier editions)
    • A newer latest edition she received from Shogakukan staff.
• When giving a “which to buy” suggestion, she recommends:
  • Shogakukan Pocket Progressive Inter-Japanese/Korean Dictionary (latest compact/pocket size).

Overall message / takeaway

• Finding a study method that fits your personality is crucial, especially for language learning which is long-term.
• Her system keeps motivation up by:
  • Making your effort visible
  • Helping you review related words naturally
  • Reducing frustration by focusing on progress and repeatable steps rather than comparisons
