For this month's language journal, I focused again on my conversational Korean. We used many videos that allowed us to further our understanding of how different people speak Korean, not only just hearing Isaac and Jason from last semester. The videos include things from cooking videos, gaming videos, and even K-dramas. My favorite were the gaming videos, which I had subtitles on to understand the videos that I struggled to understand. I feel like watching the videos from other Korean speakers has really helped me in my comprehension of the language. In English, people can speak and pronounce words in different ways. Korean speakers do the same. By watching videos and diversifying my pallet of Korean speakers it helps in making me a better listener and speaker. I plan on continuing using the different forms of media in order to progress my learning, I also have delved into some K-pop, which has not been my favorite type of music but has caught my attention because of its past popularity within the United States. One thing I want to spend more time on is my fluency. While my pronunciation is a strong point of mine, I need to catch up with my speaking fluency. Although that will come with time, Isaac and I have discussed the topic before and he has told me that with practice and time speaking the language, I will develop my abilities.
