I organized a learning plan I would like to follow when I start learning my language next semester. I am Korean but I would still love to be able to master the language. After my presentation, my classmates told me that my plan might be overwhelming because I want to accomplish so many aspects of the language in a short period of time. So I feel like I might have to take a longer span of time to explore each section that I want to accomplish. For example, repeating the 8 weeks after they are accomplished. I feel like repetition would be a great way for me to improve more in the language. I was first motivated to learn more korean by seeing how my other korean friends were so fluent to the point where they could start translating or having conversations with adults about various topics. Whenever adults talk about different cultural, historical, or political opinions I tend to not be able to reply back. I wanted to challenge myself to be able to be very fluent in korean which encourages me to build up my skills in four different parts: writing, speaking, reading, and listening in korean. My studies will help me investigate my language deeply because I will also be examining the culture and historical backgrounds of the language. That might help me gain a deeper relationship with the language.

Hi Rachel! I appreciate the depth with which you are approaching your learning plan. That seems like a wise idea to repeat the eight weeks after they are accomplished. I like that you are challenging yourself to have "adult" conversations in Korean, especially since these conversations will allow you to engage with the deep culture, the values that people have ingrained that we talked about in class.
