Learning Journal #3 (110)

[Jeffrey Choi]

My learning goal for this week was to practice on requesting and responding to favors. I learned the grammatical structure on how to ask for something through an educational website called Quick Korean. They have an online video section that provides lessons on specific topics that might occur in a conversation. I watched the 30 minute video that provided an example of how a typical conversation surrounding the goal of requesting for favors would be like. It provided questions that allowed me to apply what they taught so that I can confidently make sure I understood it properly. My language partner and I applied what we learned by practicing a conversation involving requests and responses. We asked each other for a specific request using the grammatical form that we learned in the lesson. We responded with rejection because it allowed a challenge. It required us to create a specific reason along with the proper form of responding. Just agreeing would have been too simple.
