[Abigail Sohkhlet]

This semester, I was able to learn a lot of the Korean language as well as picked up a few things on Korean culture. I am glad I learned that a big part of the Korean culture and language is based on formality and politeness. I had no background knowledge on the Korean language apart from a few words here and there I heard while watching Korean dramas. I very much enjoyed learning the Korean alphabet because of the article Are found. It made learning the alphabet so much easier and fun. I learned the basic vocabulary on how to get by when I come across a Korean, which was my goal at the start of the semester. That is, I learned how to introduce myself, talk about time and the weather. I learned how to talk about myself as a student and my routine in the University of Richmond. The hardest part of this learning process was memorizing the two number systems, partly because I have trouble remembering things, as I mentioned earlier.
