I thought that I had posted my learning plan, but after reviewing my posts, it seems that I did not submit it.
Thus, my learning plan and final culture project will focus on pop culture. As a business man, I am interested in how to do business in Korea. This means understanding the culture and customs. Thus, by focusing on pop-culture I'll be able to understand which K-pop stars are popular and why.
For the first few weeks I'll focus on becoming familiar with grammar points and introductory phrases that focus on things such as where I'm from, greetings, my age, and how are you.
Next, I'll go into classroom survival phases. Basically things like "can you repeat that" and "what does that mean?"
Third, I'll start learning life survival phrases such as "where is", "how much", foods, and colors so that I can describe things.
Fourth, I'll go into talking about family, whose in my family and how old they are. This requires knowing numbers.
Next I'll use my knowledge of numbers to attempt to learn time and dates.
Lastly, I want to learn the names of Korean stars and slang terms to know what trends are currently popular. Examples include fashion trends, health trends, and other cultural norms such as plastic surgery.
