Post your fourth bi-weekly report on your language-learning activities.
Create a learning activity to teach someone else something you have learned in your language; outline this activity in your learning journal.
This week, I learned several new vocabulary words. It sounds a bit silly, but I have always wanted to know the colors of the rainbow in Korean. I knew the basic ones, such as red, yellow, and blue. However, I wanted to be able to point at any object and be able to describe what color it was. Therefore, this week my language partner taught me how to pronounce various colors. After we practiced them, she gave me a spelling test. I also learned the vocabulary words for fruits and vegetables. I learned the vocab words for various Korean fruits as well as American fruits.
Lastly, I learned vocabulary words to describe my actions throughout the day. I learned how to describe how to say “in the day” and “in the afternoon” and “in the evening.” Furthermore, I also learned how to say various words to describe my daily routines, such as making my bed, brushing my teeth, and napping. I learned the correct formats of how to use these vocabulary words.
I decided to make a learning activity of teaching my friend various colors in Korean. As I love the game Bingo, I decided to make a bingo chart of various colors in Korean, and I would say the colors in English. It was fun because it was a two-part process. The first part was recognizing what the color was, and the second part was to match the Korean word to the English word. Though we only played a few rounds, I felt like she seemed to be making connections between the colors in English and Korean.
