I have designed my learning plan focusing on improving my familiarity with the language rather than learning any particular skill. Because I have some background knowledge on my target language, I wanted to improve on applying in real life and expand its range of usage by improving on fluency. I did learn some new Korean slangs that could allow me to have better conversations with native speakers.
Rather than using a lot of textbooks, I decided to use many online sources where I can visually see better as I am a tactile and visual learner. Some grammar works will be done with textbooks, but most of the exercises will involve analyzing videos and actively speaking and applying in real conversation. I have included some cultural activities such as eating at a Korean restaurant and watching movies to gain more cultural experience while learning my new language.
I am self motivated to improve on my own Korean skills. I grew up with my parents speaking informal Korean in my house. However, it wasn't enough to fluently speak outside of the house with other native Koreans. Once I visited Korean once, I noticed how foreign I was to the native people. I wanted to regain my roots again and improving my Korean skill will improve my relationships with my Korean family members.
