SDLC 110 - Learning Journal #11

[Dalila Softic]

This week, my goal was to have a conversation with one of my friends in Korean. To prepare for my conversations, I wrote down a few things I wanted to talk to her about and a few terms I wanted to try using. While talking to my friend on the phone, I could easily understand her but I felt that my responses were shaky, messy, and a bit too slow. It was definitley not a smooth conversation on my end. I think this activity was good because it showed me that I do need more practice in speaking and that my writing ability does not translate perfectly into my speaking ability. Overall, the conversation lasted about 5 minutes until I ran out of things I wanted to talk to her about. At the end, my friend said that she felt I made progress since when she watched me learning Korean at Yonsei.
