Bi-weekly Learning Journal #3

[Tanjila Islam]

I have been working on my Korean speaking skills. I have been practicing with my learning partner. I have also been watching Korean videos. I watch them with the subtitles at first, then I watch them without subtitles to see if I can remember what the words mean. This also helps me understand native speakers  better -- the more I listen to native speakers, the more I can understand Korean accent and it helps me with pronouncing words properly. I have also been watching videos at a reduced speed, like we talked about in class, and this has really helped because otherwise I can sometimes miss certain parts of the conversation and then I would have to start the video over. I want to continue watching videos/ listening to recordings by native speakers and get to a point where I can understand write down whatever I hear in Korean.
