- What do you need to know about the structure of your target language? How will you acquire the knowledge you need? Do you think a reference grammar can be useful? Why or why not?
The structure of the Korean language at first seems really complicated, but in actuality is not. In regards to the written language, Hangul is very easy to understand and the patterns are easy to pick up once I was able to go through the alphabet. My language partner will be a great resource as to acquiring all the knowledge for understanding the basics of written Korean. Spoken wise, I feel the structure is pretty clear as well. There is formal and informal I have to learn as well as learning WHEN to use formality. I think a reference grammar will be really useful since I'm a visual learner. As well, I find it helpful to have a tangible resource I can always refer back to. Again, my language partner is a great resource for understanding when to use formal and informal language and what is appropriate and inappropriate to ask Koreans. I also know that there are two sets of numbers and I'm curious when Koreans use one set of numbers over the other.
