Considering everything, I'm content with the progress I've made thus far. I admit that I've been lax with doing my weekly posts on time as I usually just jot down my thoughts on a word document that I've used to collect ALL of my 105 and 110 posts. I know I've been favoring the more 'passive' learning methods of listening rather than 'active' learning methods. Maybe I can incorporate more active learning methods in the coming weeks, via speaking aloud, even to myself? I tend to concentrate on reading Korean rather than speaking it so when I go through the talktomeinkorean.com lessons, I will try to read aloud so I can internalize the language better.
I wonder what I can do to keep myself motivated for the rest of the semester, though. It seems like dramas and music aren't enough anymore... Since I will begin looking at teach English in Korea programs, a future trip to Korea will be motivation enough?
I also need to think about what other artifacts I can do, as I still need at least 2 more before the end of the semester.
I will continue to use the talktomeinkorean's curriculum. It's not just a string of grammar lessons. There are podcasts with each lesson and the two speakers are always affable and easy to understand. There are pdf file attachments along with each lesson, which I've found to be very helpful since I'm a visual learner and I need to read while listening to the podcasts. TalktomeinKorean is an invaluable online resource.
