안녕하세요!!!
It's been such a super busy semester for me! Thank you for being understanding, that while my posts are late, I've definitely been meeting with Joora and have had an awesome semester learning Korean!
잘 부탁드립니다.
I've posted my Learning Plan and having reviewed it, I'm always so amazed how flexible self-directed language learning is! This semester I focused on more Korean language and culture surrounding the Church. If this wasn't self-directed language learning, I don't think I would have been able to spend time learning this aspect of the Korean language that I'm personally invested in. So I'm really grateful for this flexibility! I love how even at my basic novice learning level, I can still learn about this, even if that means I have to stretch myself out of my comfort zone!
Most of my learning activities have been super engaging and it's been a really great time together with Joora! From taking time to read and dissect Scripture to learning a church song, I've had a fun semester with all the dynamic things we've been able to do together!
I remember at the beginning of the semester, I was really shy and hesitant with speaking Korean because it had been so long since I had spoken it with someone. I think I was also frustrated because my comprehension is better than my speaking ability. It's always annoying when you can understand well but you're stuck with not being able to express yourself properly. I also know that at the beginning of this semester, I had not gotten over my barrier of fear of messing up when it comes to speaking Korean. To be honest, I don't think I've fully been able to break that wall. Where I am right now is a lot better at just speaking, but it's so hard! I've always loved and admired the Korean language and I just want to be able to speak it perfectly. Making mistakes speaking Korean is so scary for me! But definitely re-looking at the progress I've made (even if it's not super significant) the progress makes me happy!
