Learning Journal Post 1
According to the “Levels of Competence” document, I believe I am between Beginning 2 and Intermediate 1. I am able to understand casual, everyday conversation and around 75% of the dialogue in a Korean drama. I can read any text at an elementary level but for the most part, unable to understand what I am reading if it is more advanced. I can speak minimally using familiar, everyday phrases and words and construct simple sentences by myself but have trouble carrying a conversation. I know the Korean alphabet and can write basic sentences but I have trouble forming more advanced sentences due to spelling and grammar. The goals I have for this semester is listed below.
- Improve my understanding of proper grammar usage in sentences
- Proficiently learn the number systems
- Learn how to write a letter in the proper format with correct grammar and spelling
- Proficiently learn how to order at a restaurant
- Learn more essential vocabulary (weather, seasons, food, colors, clothing, school subjects, etc.)
- Gain a greater understanding of the necessary formalities when addressing an elder in terms of speech and actions
- Proficiently learn the Korean currency system
- Increase reading pace and flow
- Better comprehension of Korean dramas/shows
- Gain greater knowledge of the history of Korea and the Korean language
