Learning Journal 14: Summarize your work this semester, the progress you made and the difficulties you encountered.
Overall, I think I made a huge progress in my Korean language learning journey.
When I started, I had limited knowledge of Korean. I only the Korean alphabet, simple phrases, and spoke at a really slow-pace. Now, I can say that I know the Korean alphabet, simple phrases, speak at a relatively quicker-pace, have a larger vocabulary, can form simple and some complex sentences.
A lot of work was put in to make me get this far: meeting with the language partner (in class), studying outside of class, researching on my own, using several resources to build my vocabulary. It has been a long journey. It wasn’t that easy either. I had to stay on track and follow through with my learning plan, but I also had to study other topics in class (if they didn’t already overlap). I had to do additional lessons on the Mango Languages to get practice. I had to modify some of my learning plan because I was jumping the weeks. Some weeks were easy, some hard, and some manageable.
However, I was able to complete at least 80% of my learning plan, which makes me absolutely proud of myself. When I first create my plan, I thought that I was being too ambitious, so I simplified it, but then it didn’t seem like a goal. Finally, I came up with my current plan, and I did think some parts very a little too ambitious, but I made it.
