This semester I feel that I accomplished a lot of what I had planned to learn. I wanted to focus on learning more vocabulary words that are practical and would be used in common daily interactions. I want to be prepared when I go South Korea for study abroad next Spring semester. My learning partner, Joora, helped me immensely with finding useful sources online where I can learn new vocabulary. It was also interesting getting to learn a little bit about the history of Korea when she provided me with YouTube videos with different historical topics. We learned about the time in Korea when Japan took over and I knew nothing about this even though it was such a major event that happened in Korea not too long ago.
What I don't learn from my parents, I can learn here at school, so I am grateful for all the sources and help I was able to receive. I think I learned a lot more practical material as well as went in-depth on some things that were touched upon last semester in 110. I hope to continue my studies next semester in 112 and deepen my knowledge of the Korean language as well as the culture.
