110 Learning Journal #14

[David Lee]

My learning process this semester has gone a lot better than I expected. Although my learning plan shifted from wanting to get better at writing and reading faster to better understand conversations and slangs, I made a big progress. While making progress at the conversing aspect of Korean, I also worked on the initial goal of mine, to write and read faster. I went from having to translate sentences on google, to just typing whatever I'm thinking without having to verify online. Admittedly, I still get a few typos and mistakes, but reflecting back to where I was in September, it is a bit scary to see how fast somebody can pick up a new language. My conversing has improved significantly and I sound more confident when speaking Korean. I hope through SLDC 111 next semester, I will progress even faster and explore the aspects I haven't been able to cover this semester.
