Note: I forgot to write in the Romanized word for "father," which is "abeoji."
Reflection:
- The current task I am working on is trying to memorize the proper names for each of my family members. There are informal ways to mention people, though.
- My strategy was to create a family tree style diagram to help me better visualize all the words I had to memorize for my direct family. What is important to note is that there are different words for members on the father's and mother's side.
- I believe that the strategy was effective because I am a visual learner, and this helped me learn the words quicker than if I just tried to memorize everything straight from a list.
- Because this was successful, I will build upon this and try to learn more through diagrams in the future.
- I tried this strategy because previous surveys concluded that I was a visual learner.
Other aspects:
- I think I had some emotions of enthusiasm because the structure of family names were similar to that of Korean. So it was understandable when there were words for "grandfather on father's side."
- This was a successful experience because the words were manageable and I was able to learn the words without too much difficulty.
- In the short term, I want to learn how to address everyone formally. In the long-term, I could learn some words on how to address family members informally.
