In terms of my target language, Esports have been a massive motivator in wanting to learn about the Korean language and culture. The vocabulary for Esports commentary is relatively different than everyday conversation but also has a lot of overlap with common phrases. Another large interest is Korean fashion; while I am still learning the trends and pop culture, the vocabulary is slightly different with terms that we would call “slang” in English. In order to learn more about these terms, Isaac and I have been doing our own research, watching videos and picking up on new vocabulary used to describe items of clothing or accessories. These two areas of focus will expand my knowledge and vocabulary, and they are both areas that I enjoy and am excited to learn about, which will help in my retention of the Korean language. Overall, with the current learning plan I have made, adding these focus points will be a smooth transition when I become even more advanced with the language in the coming semesters.
