Learning Journal 9: State your learning goals for this week and how you went about accomplishing these goals.
My learning goals for this week were to practice saying numbers and months in Korean. When speaking to my mom, I tried my best to say my months and time projections in Korean. In Korean, there are two ways to say numbers. One is based off of the China System and the other is based off of the Native Korean System. It is quite similar to how in English, we say “first” and “one.” Both mean that it was the primary number, but both indicate it in different ways. The China System is used for dates, ranks, time projections, and more. The Korea System is used to count objects. Therefore, I tried to be more conscious and accurately use these systems when speaking to my mom. We would practice time projections by talking about what the date was, what date I was coming home, what the time span that was, and more. As sometimes I get mixed up between the two number systems, it is nice to have my mom there, a native Korean speaker, to correct me and tell me the reasoning for why it is that way.
