110 Learning Journal #3

[Carlos Diaz]

My learning goal for task 1 was learning simple day to day phrases (survival language). My learning goal for task 2 was learning greetings, farewell and introductions. I accomplished this goal by using the Mango App, research phrases online and more importantly meeting up with my language partner. I was able to learn to say “hello” (An-nyong ha sae yo), good bye in different contexts (if I am leaving “An-nyong he ka sea yo” and if the other person is leaving and I am staying “An-nyong ha ka sea yo”), and introduce myself (“Jae yi-leum Carlos yim ni da”- My name is Carlos). For survival language, I also learned to spur a conversation by learning two simple questions: “What is your name” (“Yi-leum ottoke dwae sea yo”)and “How are you” (“Ottoke ji-nae sso yo” or “Ottoke ji nae ship ni da”). Most importantly, I learned polite simple phrases such as “Please” (“Putak ham ni dae”) and “Thank You” (“Kamsa ham ni dae”). In response to being asked “How I am”, I learned how to express emotions. For example, I learned “I am good” (“J/cheun chal ji-nae yo”), “I am sad” (“J/cheun suel po yo”), “I am mad” (“J/cheun hwa na yo”), “I am happy” (“J/cheun k/gi bpo -yo”) and “I am not good” (“J/cheun chal mot ji-nae yo”). My language partner helped simplify these phrases and correct my pronunciation.
