110: Learning Journal #6

[Daniel Kwon]

My goal for this week was to go about improving my listening skills in Korean. Sometimes if someone talks too quickly in Korean using too many vocabulary words I don’t know then I have trouble discerning the meaning of the statement. I accomplished working on this goal by listening to these Youtube videos dissecting films in Korean. Although these tasks were pretty difficult, I had the ability to slow down the video and to rewind or pause whenever I wanted. This helped tremendously for me to discern the meaning of the statement. Of course, there were still lots of vocabulary words I didn’t know, but by using the context of the statements, I was able to piece together the overall meaning of the video.
