105: Learning Journal #8

I have learned around 15 words a week in my target language this past semester. I learned them by reading a short list of Korean vocabulary words and defining them in English afterwards. I looked up the words in a Korean-English dictionary and made sure I was pronouncing them correctly by looking up the phonetics online through the dictionary voice feature on Google.

Moreover, I believe I do have realistic goals for my acquisition of vocabulary. Though vocabulary lists are quite useful and straightforward to use, I also have two parents that both speak Korean and expose me to Korean culture. I learn not only through more academic means, but also through my parents. When I am back home during break, I am immersed in Korean culture and language, rendering it easier for me to acquire new vocabulary terms without much endeavor at times. Thus, I naturally set and achieve realistic goals for my acquisition of vocabulary.
