Learning Plan

[Emily Kim]

My goal is to develop my Korean skills as much as possible by the end of the course to become a tutor one day. I want to learn about difficulties in language learning to define in which way I should approach my learning this month. From next month, I want to learn the relationship between language and culture to better understand the deep meaning inside the phrases and words. I would like to finalize my learning by learning slang and idioms, which native people utilize in their daily lives. I organized this learning plan based on my experiences in learning different languages (Spanish and Japanese). So far, I have learned that depending on language, there are different difficulties I will face. I identified resources I can utilize to practice the language, such as Duolingo, but I have not found textbooks yet. My study will allow me to investigate my target language and culture more deeply as I will be learning step by step slowly. Other tutors promoted my interest like those upperclassmen tutoring other students in their languages. I did not receive any in-depth feedback from my classmates yet, but they said it matches my overall goal.
