SDLC 110 - Learning Journal 6

[Vivian Lee]

My goals and tasks for week 6 are to complete Lesson 6 and 7 on Berkeley's Intermediate College Korean website. Lesson 6's topic is on Korean/Lunar New Year, which was also my presentation topic in SDLC 105. Most of the lessons include text in a dialogue form, so I think it'll be interesting to learn how to share Korean holidays with others. Lesson 7 is on going to KangWonDo to visit grandparents. This will be interesting and different because the topic and dialogue takes place near the country side instead of the city, which where most topics seem to be on. In the previous lessons, I had some trouble with the additional exercises section because there were a good number of vocabulary words that I did not know. I've been keeping a notebook with a list of new words I've learned with its meaning and I plan to do the same for Lesson 6 and 7. I evaluate my learning goals by completing the 'Additional Exercise' problems after each lesson on Berkeley's Intermediate College Korean website. It's nice because I can evaluate how well I understood each lesson by taking the quiz and checking the answers at the end.
