- Summarize your assessment and goals in a blog post in your learning journal.
From the levels of competence chart I have assessed myself as a beginning 0 for all 5 skills. In terms of reading I am able to recognize most letters and sound out most words, although I needed a refresher at first and some characters were a little trickier than others like the complex vowels ㅕㅑㅐㅔ ㅠㅛ, and I don’t fully understand the difference between ㅐ and ㅔ. I can sound out many simple words and recognize words that I have heard or used frequently.
In terms of writing I can write simple words that are sounded out to me with some degree of accuracy, but as I mentioned above I have trouble with complex vowels and am unfamiliar with the advanced forms of character creation like double consonants. I don't think I could write out the full Korean alphabet but I can recognize most of them to some degree.
In terms of listening I can recognize most of the letters of the alphabet when spoken and can recognize frequently heard or used words like hellos, goodbyes, and some very basic vocabulary like yes and no.
In terms of speaking I am vaguely familiar with a few basic grammatical structures and could get through a few simple sentences such as introductions, saying thank you, and goodbyes.
