I think that I appreciate having a teacher create a learning plan for me because I feel that I get a more comprehensive and step-by-step experience through this. However, I do admit that I miss being able to pick the lesson plan and the topics I learn about.
In terms of my progress to date, I think that I have been doing well. I have learned a lot of vocabulary and key expressions, and I appreciate that we learned these in regards to specific settings, such as the subway, cafe, and restaurant. By knowing the basic terminology and phrases, I feel more confident that I could successfully order a coffee in Korean and ask for specific requests (without whipped cream, extra syrup).
In terms of my learning plan, as the topics I am learning have changed, I am no longer using it anymore. I think that I would add the following changes to it:
1. knowledge of expressions for various situations and how to change language based on who I am speaking to (formal and informal)
2. knowledge of key vocabulary and how to use them in various situations
3. ability to change verbs to match the tense and sentence
4. ability understand and reciprocate in various conversation settings
