Learning Journal #8 (110)

[Timaj Yusuf]

My learning goal for this week is to increase vocabulary. I realized I hit a stagnant point after I stopped making flashcards, and wanted to make sure the number of vocabulary terms I was learning kept increasing. I exposed myself to a lot more by speaking with a pen pal online, and asking about words I did not know. When I came across unfamiliar words, I used context clues and the words that I did know to make a prediction about what it could possibly mean. After words, I used my Korean dictionary to look up the word. The more exposure I had with the word, the quicker it stuck in my mind. I also made it a point to use it a lot more in the practice sentences that I made.
