After learning Korean for quite a while now, my vocabulary has increased a noticeable amount. Although most new vocabulary that I learned are not actual formal words, they are still useful if I do decide to go to Korea. Minkyung teaches us a "trendy vocab" every week and it helps me get in touch with Korean culture. Through presentations, one of the students that are in the individual classes with me will go up and talk about a trendy vocab. These trendy vocabulary are often multiple words that are shortened and used as colloquialism. However, for more technical terms, the news article presentation helps tremendously. One of the presentation options is to read a newspaper article in Korean and talk about it in class in Korean. This forces me to find articles and look up words that I do not understand, expanding my Korean knowledge. Minkyung also taught us different labels of hierarchy in the workplace. This will be of tremendous help if I decide to intern or work in Korea.
I hope to learn more trendy vocab, but also some formal words that will help me to talk more about technical subjects. In order to do this, I will have to read more articles and read more stories in the field that I am interested in. More exposure will allow me to learn the vocabulary fast and efficiently.
