[Jeffrey Choi]

I have been constantly learning new vocabulary words so it is difficult to actually come up with a number of how many new words I have learned. I usually have been learning these words when working with my language partners or through my online sources that I have been using to learn about my target language. One of my sources is a a series of videos that teaches me a variety of lessons on specific topics of Korean that I could use practically. At the end of each video the teacher provides a list of vocabulary words that relate to the topic of what they taught in the lesson. I do not really have a realistic goal for acquiring the vocabulary of Korean. I just wanted to naturally learn by coming across words that I encounter through the video lessons or from my language partners. I assumed that these words would be the ones that I need to know to participate in a typical conversation in Korean.
