SDLC 105 Learning Post #8

[Taiyaba Ali]

I have learned words about myself, colors, numbers, and simple phrases in Korean. I learned them by writing them down in flashcards and then practicing the words over and over again. I did not set realistic goals if I am being honest. I aimed to do a whole elevator speech about myself, and I wanted to be able to hold a conversation with another individual in Korean. I feel as though I need more time to be able to do so. I know some words, but I do not know how to put them together, and that is a big issue I am trying to work on now. Korean sentence structure is really confusing for me. I am not able to write down sentences without memorizing them first, because I have no idea how to write them! The important part for me is to work on my progress one step at a time. Right now, my focus is on memorizing key conversation phrases. I already know how to read and write, and I know that I have done the hardest part for now, so there is no need to worry. Language learning takes time and practice, and for now, all I can do is try my best to work towards accomplishing my goals.
