110: Learning Journal #9

[Daniel Kwon]

My goal for this week was to improve my reading comprehension ability. I had been doing plenty of oral practice, so I figured it was time to improve my ability to read in Korean. Since I can read fluently, but slowly, I figured the best practice would be for me to read content that is similar to my level. I did this by continuing my practice in Mango, where I went to the advanced chapters and practiced my abilities. In addition to translating the English phrases, I noted the words that I didn’t recognize or was unfamiliar with so that I could incorporate for future use. For example, I had always used only one version of the word “very” in Korean, but now that I remembered there was another way to say it, I will start diversifying my vocabulary a little bit more.
