For Week 10, I will learn how to talk about food and how to use the two Korean number systems when counting and talking about time, dates, and age. I’ll achieve this by doing Chapters 12 (Numbers) and 13 (More Numbers) in my KMS book and their corresponding exercises. I’ll also watch YouTube tutorials on ordering food at a Korean restaurant (e.g. “Korean Phrases for Ordering at a Restaurant” by sweetandtastyTV). I also happened to snag an extra menu from a Korean restaurant I ate at this weekend, and I was so excited that I could actually read the dishes in Hangul! The menu includes many popular traditional Korean dishes, so it’s a good start for learning the names of various Korean dishes.
I’ll also be making my third artifact, which is actually my second artifact since I accidentally switched the tasks for the two (please see ‘My Second Artifact’ post for the full explanation). Therefore, for my Third Artifact, I’ll be completing the task for the Second Artifact; that is, asking and answering questions about identity. Below is a rough outline of the dialogue:
Rough translation: (polite form)
A: Hello.
B: Hello.
A: I'm Chul-Soo Lee. What is your name?
B: I'm Becky Chen.
A: I'm French. What nationality are you?
B: I'm American.
A: Where are you from?
B: I'm from China.
A: I'm 34 years old. How old are you?
B: I'm 21 years old.
A: I'm a designer. What do you do?
B: I'm a student.
Yeah, so that’s the gist the conversation. FYI, I’ll be both Speakers A and B, but I’ll probably use GarageBand to change my voice for Speaker A just to prevent confusion. We’ll see how it goes.
