110 Learning Journal #3

[Jacob Park]

The first week of class with my language partner, I learned basic adjectives to describe people. This will help in my task of being able to have a fluent conversation in Korean. My language partner showed us a music video that gave us a glimpse of Korean culture along with listening skills that are needed for learning the language. After, we played an activity where we described our class mates using the adjectives we just learned. Through this, I learned how to form sentences correctly using subjects, verbs, and adjectives. Although this was not extensive, it was enough to expand my vocabulary as well as my syntactical skills. Since my language partner assigns us online lectures to listen to, I can go at my own pace to learn the material. These lectures are what structures the next class and gives me a foreshadowing of what we are going to learn. With the written homework that the language partner gives us, it gives me a chance to increase my skills in writing Korean and spelling.
