SDLC 110 Learning Journal #12
I wanted to familiarize myself with the vocabulary used to describe the weather for my learning goals this week through incorporating weather vocabulary into my daily lifestyle. When I talked to my mom, I was sure to mention the weather changing from cloudy (흐린) to sunny (햇빚) in Korean. In addition, I also talked about how it was supposed to be warmer (따뜻해) this weekend in Korean. I also changed my phone language to Korean for a day in order to familiarize myself with the language used to describe weather. Furthermore, I drew pictures of what the weather was going to be like with the Korean vocabulary word for it under to make it easy for me to look over and make the connection between the two without trying too hard. I wanted to naturally implement weather vocabulary into my life without it being too rigid. I think one thing I have difficulty with is that I am not sure which words are and are not usually associated with the weather. I can say that the sky is dark or is gloomy, but I am not sure whether the words I am using are usually associated with the weather or if I am indirectly personifying the weather by giving it vocabulary words that are only used with humans. I hope that through my phone calls with my mom, I will be better at distinguishing which vocabulary word is acceptable in the correct context.
