In your learning journal, reflect upon your progress to date, consider the effectiveness of your learning plan and activities, and discuss what changes--if any--you will make to finish the semester
I think my progress in learning Korean has been going overall well. When I first started learning Korean in SDLC 110, I was placed in Novice High. This semester, I placed myself in Intermediate Low. However, I think after a lot of thought, I am still in Novice High. Therefore, one change I made to my learning plan and activities is that I stopped watching Korean TV shows. I found that, more often than not, it was very difficult for me to listen and recognize the words the characters said, resulting in a frustrating experience.
I think that the type of show I watch definitely matters. I think that I am better at understanding shows that use daily conversation language, such as comedy shows. However, regardless of this change, I think I am getting better at understanding the overall themes in the shows I have watched in class.
However, despite this change, I have been working on my other goals. I have been reading short stories, having my writing graded, learning new vocabulary words, and practicing having conversations with fellow Korean learners.
