Listening back to my artifact, I realized that my tone is very unnatural and my accent is nowhere as good as native speakers. However, the words and the sentence flowed well and sounded somewhat natural. Although the beginning of the artifact started well, I could not find a way to bridge the introductions with the farewells. I believe that this will become better as my vocabulary and my fluency of the language increases.
For my week 4 and 5 goals, I believe that I achieved them to a working knowledge. These goals were a little bit advanced for me, especially week 5's goals. However, with the help of Minkyung, I got it straight and learned how to be humble, something of significant importance in the Korean culture. The online lectures helped in a way, but were too formalized. It was difficult to tie everything into a natural and flowing conversation. Since the video only shows a certain scenarios, it was hard for me to learn when to use the words and sentences.
