Journal Entry 3

I have worked a lot on fluidity for some time now and I can see that I have improved quite a bit. Lately, however, we've been learning slang terms and trending words in Korean. It's pretty fun learning about it because it makes me feel like I'm from Korea. In order to learn, we've been utilizing a lot of videos to see the circumstances of which the terms are used in order to be able to understanding the meanings. It's been an interesting experience because even my language partner himself was learning new terms as well. Since we are both not from Korea, it's sort of a learning experience for both of us which is cool. 

Once we watch videos and have a better understanding, we try to use the terms in day to day conversations and I've got to say, I feel a little cool using the new terms because I am still expanding my vocabulary arsenal. I think that watching videos and seeing conversations happen in front of our eyes is very helpful in learning and understanding Korean. I hope to work towards being able to use these new terms naturally and not need to think about what to say. I think that expanding my vocabulary can also help with speaking proficiently and with fluidity, so it's like an accumulative learning experience.

  • Your enthusiasm for incorporating these new terms into your daily conversations reflects a genuine passion for expanding your vocabulary arsenal. As you continue to integrate these terms into your speech, I do not doubt that they'll become second nature, further enhancing your fluency and proficiency in Korean.

  • James this is great, it sounds like you are progressing in your depth of the Korean language. Using the new words in conversation is something I tried to utilize in order to make them more fluent. Are there any strategies you could recommend to further enhance my fluency that have worked for you in the past?
