Post your first bi-weekly report on your language-learning activities
The task that I have been working on this week is introductions. I think though it is a fairly straightforward subject, I am taking it seriously due to Korean having two different tenses: informal and formal. I do not want to accidentally disrespect someone by using the wrong tense, so I have been trying to focus on this as a foundation to speak and listen in Korean. On Monday, I met with my language partner and we spoke in Korean about ourselves informally. We shared about where we were from, our names, our grade, our majors, and more. I think that I will need to bring a notebook the next time I see my language partner, as I tend to forget the formal and informal ways we talk about. However, for the most part, I think it is a very easy way to learn- by practicing with an experienced Korean speaker.
I think we will go on the internet and look for a formal textbook style of learning this because that is usually how I learn best- from a structured source. I think that by being able to know what to say and what tense to use when speaking in Korean, I think I will be more comfortable with the idea of using Korean more often. It gives me confidence knowing that I at least will be able to know the basics.
