From SDLC 105 class, I understand that language relates to the culture products, practices and perspective of a culture. So far, I have studied the greeting and got know more the structure of Korean language. In the class, we talked about the communicative competence that enables us to convey and interpret messages and to negotiate meanings interpersonally within specific contexts.
In order to achieve communicative competence in Korean, I want to do more conversational based classes with my language partner Sun. Right now, I can introduce myself if someone asks me my name. I can respond to them with my major, my home country and my hobbies. I also noticed patterns in their speech that ends with hamida or simida to show your respect.
One thing I want to focus on improving my learning is to follow my learning goal. Sometimes, I just randomly picked the drama and learned some words, but actually those words were not used quite often in daily life conversation. Though it was good to know more Korean words, at the beginning level, I need to aim for what I set for myself.
Besides memorizing constabularies, I will try to conduct a dialogue with my Korean friends and to see if they can recognize what I am saying.
