- What do you need to know about the structure of your target language? How will you acquire the knowledge you need? Do you think a reference grammar can be useful? Why or why not?
The structure of my target language (Korean), grammatically, is SOV. From the article, it reads that SOV languages usually have a case mark ending differentiating the subject from the object. For Korean, I'm not exactly sure what they use but I can look for that in the textbook resources from the Global Studio and from my language partner as well.
As I said, the Global Studio is a great place to find resources to help me acquire this knowledge of the structure of my target language. Also, since my language partner is a native speaker of Korean, she'll know best on how to clarify any lingering questions I may have from reading the textbooks.
I think that a reference grammar is really useful because it will help guide me on how to form a simple sentence in Korean. As a continue my studies, I can attempt to make more complex sentences, but it's good to know how to start small and build up from there.
