- First Cultural Post SDLC 110: What is your interest in 'your' language and what do you hope to accomplish this semester?
If I were to guess the next language I was going to learn after taking Spanish 4 years ago, I would have probably said Chinese or Japanese. For me, those two languages have always been powerhouses in the East, the most impertinent languages to learn if I was going to be a Business student. However, in recent years Korea has became more and more known as a technology giant and known for its cultural explosion into the Western scene. Add to that fact that Korean food is delicious and flavorful (unlike anything anything I have ever tasted), I have been interested in Korean culture and language for a few months now. I decided to take it because I love learning new languages, and I decided if I can learn how to teach myself Korean, I can also teach myself other languages I might be interested in. I am hoping to read, write, and know/speak basic phrases and expressions in Korean. I know this may not seem like much, but I know that language learning is much harder than it is. In order to be a true learner, I need to take time to learn and process the new information that I will gain soon.
