Bi-weekly Learning Journal #1

[Tanjila Islam]

The few weeks of the semester, my language partner and I focused on learning how to use single phrases in Korean. For example, I learned how to introduce myself, ask someone how they are, ask their names, where they're from, etc.. After our tutoring session, I continued to listen to Korean recoding that used the same phrases which helped me to remember them. I also started to able differentiate between phrases that can used in formal conversations and informal conversations. After I practiced the phrases on my own, I would try to use them with my language partner in our following sessions -- she worked to correct any of my mistakes and help me with my pronunciation.
