SDLC 105: Learning Journal #8

[Shuyi Chen]

Currently, I have learned around 200 words in Korean. I learned it by watching Korean dramas and talking to language partners. Essentially, one important and efficient way for me to learn Korean vocabularies is to divide the sentences word by word and then translate them into English respectively. For example: “Jae eelum ee Shuyi ep mi da ”( My name is Shuyi.) In this sentence, “Jae” means “my”. “eelum” means “name” and “ep nida” means “formality”. Then I would try to compose a new sentence with the vocabularies I just learned. Besides, my language partner gives me weekly quizzes on Korean vocabularies, which is a positive motivation to memorize Korean vocabularies. My realistic goal is to learn and master 15 word each week.
