State your learning goals for this week and how you went about accomplishing these goals.
This week we returned to numbers, but instead of learning the Sino-Korean system, we learned the Native-Korean system. The Native-Korean system is very irregular, so it was more difficult to learn because there was more memorization involved. Native and Sino-Korean numbers are used in different cases. For example, when telling the time, Native are used to tell the hour and Sino is used to tell the minute. Native is also used to tell a person’s age. To learn these numbers, I used a number chart and wrote the words several times to help reinforce them. I also used time in class to practice using these numbers in questions and conversation.
We also talked more about verb and adjective stems and how to conjugate a word from its stem. The conjugation attached to the stem depends on the type of vowel inside to the verb or adjective stem. Almost all of the stems act regularly except for a handful. The ones I have learned so far are common words, such as ‘to be,’ ‘to go,’ and ‘good.’ The conjugations are fairly straight forward but I’m still working on nailing down the basics. I will have to keep practicing saying and writing these conjugations.
