Reading and writing in Korean has always been hard for me. I think my reading skills are better than my writing skills but I am still very slow when it comes to reading a text. I also find it hard to differentiate the slang from the proper spelling and grammar that is used because I got so used to texting and speaking in an informal language with my peers. Therefore, since most of my vocabulary is based on everyday language, textbook readings, news, and other formal readings and writings are very tough for me.
I am bilingual in Korean and English. I do not agree with the readings because I do not feel like my cognitive skills are better than monolinguals. I get distracted easily and do not do well with mentally exhausting challenges so I felt like I could not relate to a lot of the article that was assigned.
