I went to the Global Studio last week, and there was only one Korean book there. It was the Korean Standard Dictionary. What was nice about this dictionary was that it translated from Korean to English as well as English to Korean. It is a versatile resource that I plan to use in the future. One resource I would suggest for the Global Studio would be the drama series, Boys over Flowers. It is one of South Korea’s most famous dramas in history and thus would be a way to have fun and also learn.
Resources such as BYKI, Mango Languages, and my Diigo bookmarks will be useful to me because they are all tailored to make learning as effective as possible. For example, one of the resources I chose to post on the Diigo page was a Reddit site aimed to enhance an individual’s ability to learn Korean. This will be effective for me because I enjoy scrolling through Reddit. Therefore, by finding a specific Reddit site about learning Korean, I’ll be more excited to try it out. In addition, I think Mango Languages will also be useful to me because it aims to make language learning fun. The graphics are alluring, and the company aims to teach language learners to speak the language to a certain degree after every single language course. With the information I learn from these resources, I plan to put them to use by watching dramas and variety shows.
I did not meet my language partner yet, so my learning schedule is still not yet established. However, I did practice my language tasks by speaking with my mom on the phone. Since she is my elder, I have been practicing my greetings and farewells with her with the respective Korean honorifics. In addition, I also read mini Korean stories to my friend. She is currently playing a Korean game she downloaded on her phone, but she doesn’t understand the language. Therefore, I translated what was happening such as when one of her characters from the game was introducing himself and sharing about his life. Lastly, I have downloaded an app called Eggbun on my phone where I can practice basic Korean through flashcards.
