Since I had done focused on my speaking skills in the two previous artifacts, I decided to show my progress in writing Korean. As a result, I wrote some of the most commonly used phrases and some useful sentences and questions needed for introducing oneself.
Goals of the artifact:
1. practice writing Korean
2. know what each phrase/question means in English
3. know the pronunciation of the phrases/questions
4. know when to use them
5. know the level of formality of each sentence
During the preparation of the artifact, I had to, at first, revise the alphabet and the rules of writing. One major difference between writing in Korean and writing in English is that unlike English, where the letters in a word are arranged in a sequence, the letters in Korean are arranged in blocks or clusters of letters according to syllables. I also included the romanization of the Korean phrases so that in order to help me remember their pronunciations. In addition, I included the English translations to help me review them in future.
After the completion of the artifact, I was quite satisfied with my work. The writing looked neat and after one point, I could spell on my own some of the words that I used repeatedly.
