105: Learning Journal #10

[James Kim]

I did not realize how bad I was at writing and reading Korean until I took this Self-Language course. There were so many vocabulary words that I have never heard of and I made numerous grammar mistakes while studying with my language partner. Also, I attempted to read a full news article in Korean but I have failed to completely understand an entire article as of yet. However, I did improve on these flaws and learned a lot more vocabulary and words that Koreans my age should be speaking, reading, and writing in Korea. Additionally, my reading has improved by texting my mom in Korean and reading a lot of news articles as of late due to the political turmoil that is going on in South Korea. The issue at hand is very interesting and it helped me engage in on the articles that I picked out.
