week3- 3/5
This week I learnt four more consonants: ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅎ and four more vowels: ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅒ,ㅖ. Besides these symbols, Soenghye also taught me several vocabularies and asked me to memorize them. 어느 means which, 나라 means country,
사람 means people. Combining the country's name which is 중국(China)and 사람(people) together, I get the word " Chinese".
week4- 3/19
During the long spring break, I did not forgot my Korean class. I have a Korean friends who went to Puerto Rico with me, and I effectively practiced my Korean with him, even though the conversation is limited by my scanty Korean vocabulary.
This week I learned the final five consonants: ㅃ, ㅉ, ㄸ, ㄲ, ㅆ, and six double vowel: 왜, 외, 웨, 워, 위, 의. I can straightforwardly feels the difficulty of Korean now, because the double vowels are made by writing and typing two of the vowels we just learned together. Despite looking similar in style, they pronounced almost the same! 외 is pronounced like the English "Way" and 위 is pronounced like the word "We". I used my phone to record Seonghye's pronunciation and my pronunciation, so that by listening to it after class, I can clearly find which part I did well and where I did wrongly.
