By the end of this semester, I want to learn Korean around shopping. I chose shopping as my ultimate goal because it is realistic and practical. It is one of the most important skill that I want to master. Also, this goal covers a lot of essential aspects of language.Following are several specific goals I want to achieve by the end of this semester:
-Greeting and self-introduction
For example: how to greet shopkeepers when I walk into a store.
-Count numbers
For example: how to count the number of products, how to articulate the price of products.
-Recognize colors
For example: how to describe the color of clothes/ cosmetics I want to buy
-Express emotions
For example: how to articulate whether I like something or not/ express my feelings
-Distinguish formal and informal using of Korean
For example: If I talk to shopkeepers, I may use formal Korean. However, when I talk to my friends during shopping, I may use informal words.
-Ask for directions
For example: how to ask others the way to certain places if I have no idea where it is.
In addition to the above targets, I want to:
-Study 3 Korean songs and understand the lyrics
-Watch a Korean drama (It’s okay, that’s love) and learn some daily words
-Role-play. I can try to have some dialogue with my friends in Korean. More specifically, I can pick a scene in Korean drama and try to replay the conversation.
