This week, I read more articles about the economy in Korean. I also got in touch with my family members and some friends back home to practice my Korean and share stories with them.
Here are a compilation of some of the words I learned this week:
총포괄이익 - Total comprehensive income
기타포괄손익 - Other comprehensive income
포괄손익계산서 - Comprehensive income statement
희석주당이익- Diluted earnings per share
법인세비용차감전순이익 - Earnings before income tax
It is harder to spot words that I haven't understood (conceptually and literally) before. I feel that I have a really good grasp over articles regarding the economy in Korean. The professional terms they use make sense conceptually and on the surface as well. I am really content with my progress.
I've learned so many professional vocab. As I stated above, there are hardly any words I read in complex economy news articles that I don't understand. By reading these articles weekly, I've really come far in expanding my vocab. I also feel very comfortable writing professionally like these news articles are written. I also feel a lot more comfortable speaking in Korean. I was fluent before but there were times when I just felt awkward speaking it (even though I knew I was using the right grammar and words). I feel very free and natural speaking Korean now just because I have been doing more of it recently because of this class. I've been talking to my family members more for practicing Korean. Also, the weekly Korean classes were very helpful as well.
There weren't any difficulties to be honest. I think the fact that I had a very solid foundation in Korean to begin with made it easier for me to make big progresses. It wasn't like I was learning a whole new language with whole new rules. I was only fortifying what I already had a pretty decent grasp on. It was a great semester in terms of the growth I had in my Korean skills.
