  1. HI there! A while back I printed off some study sheets you made for the korean grammar intermediate book. It had a day 1-7 with lots of vocab and then the grammar points for each chapter, but only up to UNit 4. I tried searching to find the others but couldn’t. Did you make notes for all the chapters of this book? I found them very useful so hoping you did. 🙂 Thanks!!

    1. Still working on it. Will publish more this summer. I’ve been on hiatus for a while, working two jobs, trying to change careers, etc. Hoping to get back at it soon.
