Although I am aware of what the greetings and farewells are in Korean, it was helpful to document this action through a recorded artifact because I was able to listen to it again. This helped me identify which words I struggled on and how to more smoothly integrate these ideas. I believe that I articulated the words carefully and slowly, which will allow me to improve my introductions and farewells in conversations with others.
I believe that I have met my learning goals pretty well because I learned about the variety of majors and how to match them to career paths. Although I mainly focused on learning about the topics that relates to me, such as Chemistry, I made sure to learn about the whole span of majors and career paths, so that I can have a flowing conversation with others. My meeting with my learning partner was very helpful because not only did we solidify the majors and careers, we also constructed ways that we can make sentences with these words and related topics. For example, I learned how to say “my major is chemistry” and to link it with “I am a second-year at the University of Richmond.” I was able to incorporate the latter sentence in my introduction section for my first artifact. It was helpful to practice these conversational skills because I can apply this to the actual conversations that I have with friends and family members.
