Everything has been going well with my learning plan. I think that I could do better regarding switching up my way of learning. In my plan I included more games and worksheets but in reality, I have been sticking to more flashcards, listening practice, and watching videos/shows. My work with Emily has been going quite well. We learned the Hangul alphabet which was one of my main goals. Because I learned the alphabet, I am able to sound out words and basic sentences. Along with that I am learning the basic grammar rules which was another goal of mine. I have a grammar worksheet that was given to me by Emily for practice. I think it will be helpful if I create more of those worksheets for myself for extra practice. Another piece that I recently added was a Korean learner’s book along with a comic book in Korean. The Korean learning book is like the Integrated Korean Beginning 1 book that I was originally going to use so in that way my plan has slightly shifted.I really enjoyed talking…

Cultural Artifact #3

I decided to research the Gyeongbokgung Palace because I visited it with my friends on a trip. From the outside you can see how beautiful the palace and the architecture is. I could easily tell that this was an important place to those in the area and those visiting.Gyeongbokgung Palace was the main palace during the Joseon Dynasty, and it was declared so in 1395. This was the palace where the Hangul alphabet was created and then sent out to the people to learn. In the past it was called Hunminjeongeum and only in modern times is it referred to as the Hangul alphabet which was an interesting fact to learn. Many kings and their families would live in the palace throughout the years, but it was also used for political reasons, ceremonies, and events.The first part of the name, “Gyeongbok” means “the new dysnasty shall have good fortunes and prosper” or “the new dynasty will be greatly blessed and prosperous”. The naming of the palace truly set the tone for the Joseon dynasty which…

Revisiting the first presentation in my self-directed Indonesian language learning plan has allowed me to see how much I have improved and what I still need to work on. Overall, things are going well so far! I have become more confident in my vocabulary and in recognizing cognates between English and Indonesian. I have been practicing Indonesian through apps like Duolingo and online games for about 30 minutes a day, and I have practiced much more vocabulary than I originally anticipated. Common/frequency words in Indonesian were one task in my original plan, but I have since broken this down into two tasks because there is so much linguistic ground to cover. Learning about the phonetic alphabet and how sounds are produced has given me valuable insight into the mechanics of spoken Indonesian. For example, the “rolling R” or trill sound (which doesn’t exist in English) is how every R is pronounced in Indonesian, so I have been doing exercises to train myself to pronounce the trill.…

Discussion Post #7

Things have been going well with my learning overall. I have sincerely enjoyed my conversations with my iTalki tutor Maria (who goes by Mafi) and feel as though we have been able to have genuine conversations and establish some level of connection whilst entirely speaking in Spanish. There are a few things that have changed since I formulated my learning plan, 1) I have used Memrize less than expected due to difficulty in getting the application to be at the appropriate level and a paywall, and 2) I did not have as many conversations in Spanish in Puerto Rico as I had expected. Discussions in class have helped improve my understanding of language families and where Spanish falls in the Indo-European language family in addition to being a part of the Romance Language category. I would describe my engagement with the target language as largely informal in my conversations with Maria, with an occasional grammatical, tense, and vocabulary focus. We have had conversations about different…
