SDLC 110 - Learning Journal 14

[Vivian Lee]

Throughout this semester, I was able to further my Korean vocabulary, speaking skills, reading skills, knowledge on cultural background and history, and writing skills. My main goals for this semester were to improve my vocabulary, writing, and speaking skills. Although I wasn't able to improve my speaking skills as much as I wanted to, a lot of the online resources that I have found really helped me improve my fluency in Korean. I personally really enjoyed cultural presentations we had in class for I was able to gain knowledge on language as well as culture from different countries. Although I was born in Korea, there were so much I didn't know about the country's culture and history. Although I knew that King SeJong created Hangul I didn't know the history or the reason behind it until my classmates' presentations. I was able to learn about the language and the culture in a deeper level and was able to further my understanding and knowledge on the language I was learning. With all the resources I have found online and skills that I have obtained as a self-directed learner, I plan to continue working on my Korean skills.
