안녕하세요!!!
This was the first artifact I did for the semester! It's so bad! Re-listening to it, I could tell that I was so super nervous and I had probably tried my best to do a few takes, but I feel like frustration got the best of me! ㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠ
Speaking has always been my weak point with Korean. The funny thing is that with all the other languages I've learned (Arabic and Spanish) speaking was never a problem. I've reflected on it and I think it's because I have a more personal bond to Korean that makes messing up while speaking that much harder for me (?) maybe haha.
Anyways, I think for my very first artifact of the semester it was alright. Because I was super nervous, I know I misspoke about my family. But overall, I think my accent is not too bad.
Improvements would be nerves as I'm recording myself. Maybe there are tricks to fooling myself that I'm just speaking and not recording. The biggest way to improve would be to continue practice speaking each day so that hearing myself speak Korean doesn't sound so foreign to my own ears. I think allowing myself to hear myself speak Korean will help break down the wall I have with having a hard time to fully explore speaking Korean, without fear of mistakes. Because it's really only once you allow yourself to mess up from speaking that you really grow deeper in the language.
I'm excited for the day I can do that with the Korean language! It will have been a long-time in the making because of the self-directed language program! So this victory will be all the more sweeter!
