Learning Journal #1 - SDLC 110

[Arnanto Januri]

I am a beginner in Korean. I know some basic words such as eat, hello, goodbye, thank you in Korean because I have Korean friends. Other than that, I am new to Korean especially when constructing sentences.

My learning goals for this semester would be having the ability to introduce myself, talk about day-to-day activities, making conversation about food, and talk about my family. I want to make it very conversational and casual since I have a lot of Korean friends. I plan to emphasize on interpersonal communication category.

To achieve my goals, I will have to practice having conversations with my language partner and also my Korean friends in day-to-day activities. Watching Youtube will also help my learning progress as a lot of Korean Youtubers tend to speak in a casual (informal) way.
