110 Learning Journal #5

[Carlos Diaz]

The first artifact was divided into two vocaroo recordings in which the first tested my knowledge and learning on task 1 and task 2 goals (greetings, farewell, introductions and survival language). Based on my language partner reaction, I impressed him with the capacity and ability to remember and play with the Korean language. The first recording was done with no practice and no sheet, so it relied heavily on what phrases and words I remembered. He was proud that I was able to learn and know all the phrases and words he has taught me. For the second recording, I wanted to practice more my pronunciation and fluidity. I also felt that the first recording was in lower volume, so my pronunciation was not easily detectable. My language partner complimented me on my improved pronunciation and learning, and we have advanced further on other task like time, family and weather. So in a critical view, I can always get better on my accent. Linguistic accuracy and my cultural appropriateness is at a great level. I am very proud at my pace and level. My goals were achieved.
