In week 4 & 5,
I should have learned how to speak to someone informally and formally. Try to remember the words. I should have brushed up on my alphabet and be able to pronounce the sounds decently. Then I will learn phrases that are spoken when someone enters a restaurant. Try to remember the phrases. I will acquire knowledge of these phrases and practice with friends until I get it right either from friends or my Korean partner. Practice practice. Then I should try to go to a restaurant and see whether I can pick up on the sentences spoken in a faster manner.
