Learning Journal #6 (110)

[Jeffrey Choi]

My learning goals for this week was to research on trendy voca which is also known as common slang that is used in daily Korean interactions. I plan on studying abroad in Korea next year so it would be nice to know some common sayings that Koreans who are around my age use. By learning these words I would not be so out of the loop. I was provided a website by Minkgyung that is very trendy with Koreans where they post on forums about a variety of topics. I plan on reading these discussions so that I can see slang and other types of Korean phrases that are not part of the traditional vocabulary. I will try to look for other sources such as youtube or on Google. I think learning these things would be interesting since it is an informal aspect of the language and it will allow me to have a insight on how young Koreans speak to each other.
