105: Learning Journal #8

[Daniel Kwon]

It is difficult to measure how many words I have learned in my target language, but I have constantly been attempting to learn more words whenever possible. During our SDLC sessions, our teacher occasionally offers us vocabulary guides with a fill-in the blank portion, as he teaches us the meanings of certain words. In addition, I try to write down words I don’t know in the Korean music that I listen to, and I look up the meaning of the word later on. Lastly, by changing the settings on my phone to all Korean, I was able to pick up some technical terms. Although I do have realistic goals for the acquisition of my vocabulary, I think it would be handier if I was in an actual class setting able to learn these vocabulary words. It would be helpful if I had someone quiz me every time and continued to quiz me so that I would be able to learn more words.
