[Teresa Do]

Summarize your assessment and goals in a blog post in your learning journal and on the first page of your learning plan.

Based on the Levels of Competence, I am a Beginning 0 Novice. I am able to recognize phrases by ear and by seeing the Hangul characters, but I will categorize myself as a complete novice because my understanding of the phrases is still limited.

To summarize, my goal by the end of the semester is to:

1. Master Hangul
2. Engage in a 2-3 minutes conversation with a native speaker about topics ranging from:
   1. Self-Introduction
   2. Greetings, Gratitudes, and Goodbyes
   3. Names and Introductions
   4. My likes and dislikes
   5. Drinks and Dining (Ordering food at a Korean restaurant)
   6. Getting Around (location, direction, etc.)
   7. Numbers, Dates, and Currency
   8. Shopping and Payment
   9. Classroom Expressions
3. Watch an episode of a Korean drama and understand 20% of it without English subtitles
4. Use proper grammar and conjugations when writing in Hangul.
