-This week, we focused on our reading skills using Korean news articles. We read some business news articles regarding Samsung and its current state with its CEO in jail for bribing the president.
-Aside from learning about the current news in Korea, I improved my reading skills with the help of my language partner. My partner corrected me on pronunciation and pauses. I never thought I had trouble with pronouncing Korean words but getting advice from my language partner helped me realize my weaknesses in reading Korean. For example, in Korean, there is no “r” so I often found myself pronouncing the “l” words in Korean as “r”. The more practice I had with reading the article helped me correct this issue. I definitely should practice more by reading articles every day in Korean to improve my weaknesses.
