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?
For my target language, I need to understand that the Korean language is structured differently based on who I am talking to. For example, the structure I speak to my peer with is not the same structure I speak to an elder with. I need to learn to distinguish when to use each, and what components are a part of each structure. I will acquire the knowledge I need through the goals I set in my learning plan. I also plan to acquire this knowledge by practicing with my language teacher and my parents. I think a reference grammar would be useful, but not something that I would heavily depend on. It would be useful in that I would be able to look up questions I had in it. However, I think that I am better at learning through practice rather than resorting to a reference grammar.
