My goals and tasks for week 4 and 5 include talking about places where people do things during the day, and talking about dates and days of the week. By the end of week 4, I hope to be able to ask people where they are going, and what they will be doing there. I will practice this by constructing practice sentences asking questions such as "What time do you go to the gym?" or "What time do you go to sleep?" Repeating this same sentence structure using different words and asking different things will help me both expand my vocabulary while also getting a feel for the sentence structure. I will evaluate my success by judging my ability to spontaneously ask questions while being confident in my speaking skills (ie not stuttering or hesitating).
The main resource I am using is Quick Korean, a website that provides free 30 minute lecture style classes on each topic in levels ranging from 1 to 4. I will also be using some apps that will help me practice during my "dead time" such as mango languages, and talk to me in Korean podcasts.
For week 5, I hope to be able to ask questions regarding the day of the week. These questions include "What did you do on Thursday?" or "What day is the concert?" I will use the same practice and evaluating patterns as above, and test myself in that way until I am confident in my speaking abilities.
