Post Learning Journal Entry # 5:
How many new words have you learned? Do you have realistic goals?
I have learned about 30 words fairly well, I would say. This list also includes common phrases.
Here are some of the words/phrases I have learned thus far and have memorized.
1) Hello=an nyong ha sae yo (formal) &anyoung (informal)
2) Goodbye=an nyong hee gah sae yo (formal) & anyoung (informal)
3) Nice to meet you=Man na seo ban gab seub ni da
4) Good morning (informal)=Joh ohn ah chim
5) Older brother (for guy, to older guy)=hyung
6) Older sister (for guy, to older girl)=nuna
7) Older brother (for girl, to older guy)=oppa
8) Older sister (for girl, to older girl)=unni
9) Younger person= dongseng
10) I am sorry=Jwai song hap nee da
I have also learned the basics of how to order food with my language partner. I would like to create an artifact on how to order food with another peer who is learning Korean. I believe that my goals are realistic. My goals relate to common situations that a tourist would be in when going to another country: greeting others, getting directions, ordering food, etc. My vocabulary preferences will relate to these kinds of situations. Therefore I am not necessarily looking for a specific number to learn by the end of semester. I would just like to know the words necessary for specific occasions.
