Learning Journal #8 (110)

[Jeffrey Choi]

My learning goal for this week is to practice ordering food at a Korean restaurant. My attempt at this goal could help me develop my interpersonal communication skills. I plan on accomplishing this goal by going to a Korean restaurant at Grand Mart, an international market, which is located near our campus. I hope that this kind of practice would prepare me for my interactions in a restaurant in Korea, since I plan on studying abroad my junior year of Spring semester. At the restaurant I could accomplish my goal by reading the menu and deciphering what the food is. I would also be practicing phrases and words I learned that relate to interactions that would happen when ordering at a restaurant. I would know I have accomplished my goals when I feel confident with ordering and requesting services.
