Based on the Levels of Competence and Can-Do statements, I’m currently incompetent in Korean. I may be able to recognize phrases here and there by ear but I still consider myself a complete novice. And so because I want to be competent in Korean, here’s my plan of action: 1) to master Hangul so that I'll be able to sound out characters even when I don’t know them yet; 2) to develop a decent vocabulary so that I may eventually engage in a minimum of 5-minute conversation in Korean with a native speaker. I think I’ll start with these humble goals for now and gradually build on them through the course of the semester. My goal is to reach at least novice mid or high, particularly in the interpersonal communication and interpretive listening aspects, by the end of this semester.
