Cultural Post #1 (112)

[Jeffrey Choi]

For this semester, I really hope to expand on my writing and speaking skills. I want to work on my speaking skills, so that I can become more fluent and confident in having conversations with my family members. I have trouble saying what I really want to say because I don't know how to translate it into Korean, so it can be frustrating not being able to say what's on my mind. I want to work on my writing skills because I think it is one of my weakest areas. I am terrible at spelling and don't really know the more complicated grammatical rules. I hope to accomplish on expanding these skills through workbooks provided by Youngmin and through a lot of practice. I think having constant practice and interactions in speaking and writing in Korean in these weekly meetings will really help me become more comfortable as there aren't many opportunities for me to practice on these things outside of these classes.
