SDLC 105 Learning Journal # 3

[Sequioa Roscoe]

For the structure of the language, I need to know that there is a formal and informal way of speaking in Korean. In addition, I need to know the proper pronunciation of words because some of them sound quite similar, but there may be a harsher sound to the way that they’re pronounced. Korean is a general-to-specific” or “big-to-small” language, so they say they talk about the bigger units of things before discussing the smaller unit. Also, that the structure of the grammar is different from the structure of grammar in English. I will acquire the knowledge that I need by consulting my book, Korean from Zero!, asking my Korean friends about proper pronunciation of words, and using a reference grammar book for Korean in order to make sure that my sentence structures are correct when speaking and writing. I think that a reference grammar can be useful because it can help with proper structure of languages and the arrangement of verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc. This will definitely come in handy when learning a new language different from English, such as Korean.
