During the third week of our class, we have decided as a group to learn the basic conversation used in Restaurants. I think this would be very useful because I am planning to travel to South Korea with my family in the near future, and I also get to practice conversing in Korean here in Richmond. Me and my friends often visits local Korean restaurants such as New Grand Mart and Korean Garden, and previously I have always wanted to try to converse with the owners in Korean but wasn’t confident enough and did not know the phrasing exactly. Now through this class with Brenda, I will definitely attempt to practice these phrases and memorize food related vocabularies.

We mimicked a situation in class, where Brenda led us through the steps of ordering food at a Korean Restaurant, allowing us to practice the phrases we have learnt. After this class. I went to New Grant during the weekend, and managed to order 짜장면 in Korean. I will continue to practice this when I visit the local Korean Restaurants in Richmond.
Our class on the fourth week allowed me to begin the completion of another Tasks in my learning plan which is to begin labeling the objects in my dorm in Korean to help me improve my vocabularies. We looked at 42 new vocabularies during our session, including “objects in the dormitory”, “country” and “directions”.

Through the process of learning these vocabs, I realized that many of these words might have come from Mandarin Chinese since a lot of the pronunciations of these are really similar.
