This week I met with Jenna and did our first lesson. Jenna gave me three articles in Korean to practice with. The first supplementary reading was a conversation between two people, talking about going to dinner and a movie. There were three different scenarios regarding dinner and a movie, and Jenna and I read through the conversation together. There were several vowels I struggled with, but for the most part, I was fluid and calm. Afterward, Jenna even told me that I got a lot better when compared to last semester. The next article she gave me was about a band in Korea called BTS. It was an article talking about the fame and popularity of BTS in America and how they have broken the billboard 200 charts in recent months. Furthermore, it talks about the path of the stardom of BTS and how their new album has become a fan favorite. The article followed up with some questions that Jenna wrote, and it was easily able to answer them out loud, but it was difficult for me to write the answer down. Furthermore, there was a question about writing a letter to my parents about my college experience and how much I have enjoyed and disliked it. It was difficult to write the words correctly. I second-guessed a lot of the spelling of certain words, but the content made sense to both Jenna and me. I also only wrote around four sentences, and I knew that I had to work on coming up with more vocab words to say. I also did not know how to end a letter in Korean, so I now know to work on that. The last article was a weather report in South Korea. There were a lot of vocab words I did not recognize, so Jenna had to help me with a lot of the words. Although this article was difficult to read and understand, it helped me tackle new words and use context clues to figure out the message of the article. This week’s meeting with Jenna was really helpful in terms of figuring out where I stand in reading and writing in Korean. The most common problem Jenna and I found was spelling and punctuation. A lot of mistakes were made on the spacing between words and phrases, as well as spelling certain words at the end of sentences. Jenna told me it would be relatively easy to fix, since I know how to say the words, just don’t know how to spell it correctly every time. For homework, Jenna told me to read through the third article about weather in Korea by myself and learn the new words in the article. I think today was a great experience in terms of finding a baseline of my skill in Korean reading and writing. In the future, I hope to keep practicing writing with correct spelling and spacing and I hope to work on these skills next week with Jenna.
