For the past two weeks, I was able to practice my conversation skills with my mom. I facetimed her a lot of times because it was her birthday. I wanted to get her a present but did not know what she wanted so during the time period, I talked with her around 5-6 times to figure out what she wanted.
Through multiple of questions and answers, I was able to finally able to get the information of what she wanted. After I got her the gift by shipping it to her, the handbag I bought her had a tear so I had to explain to her how to ship out the bag to return it.
I was able to have a conversation utilizes different phrases to prolong the dialogue. My mom was able to help me when I was stuck with my words. This was a great practice for me because it was not a conversation that was about what I did, ate, or how I was doing.
I believe that to really further the process of language learning, one has to speak with a native to practice speaking skills. Because I do not have friends or family near me that speak Korean, this allowed me to really think about what to say in this certain situation. Because I am going to Korea soon, I hope that speaking with my mom constantly about a wide variety of topics will enable me to have a smooth conversation with my relatives.
Also, I went through two more units of the workbook.
