Since I’m Korean, I’ve always wanted to be 100% fluent and proficient in Korean. However, I’d say I’m not completely there yet, so I want to sharpen my Korean. This relates to language because Korean utilizes many different techniques of articulating sound to produce speech. In class, we went over certain sounds that aren’t in the English alphabet. Some of these sounds are very difficult to differentiate between, so mastering articulating the sounds is necessary for learning Korean. I think that learning Korean requires you to know the IPA chart well so that you can see the differences in letters. There are many letters that you need to learn that are unique to Korean, but there aren’t any other things you need to know in order to learn Korean from my own personal experience. I made specific objectives in my learning plan to sharpen my Korean and expand my understanding of Korean culture. However, I think that I’m good at pronouncing in Korean letters, so most of my objectives are speaking at the macro level. That is, to learn new advanced words, speak with fluidity, and being able to spell the more difficult words in the Korean language.
