SDLC 110: Learning Journal #11

[Jinhoo Bong]

This week's goal, as suggested by my language partner, was to study a cultural aspect of Korea. I studied the use of trendy vocabulary in Korea which appears to be quite popular among the younger generation. To study this, I looked up examples of the most common trendy vocabulary words in 2016 and took a few and broke it down. I was able to learn that most, if not all, of these Korean slang terms come from a combination of multiple words by taking either letters or just the first part of the word. I was able to practice the use of such terms with my language partner, identifying when it would be appropriate to use certain words and when it would not be appropriate to do so.
