My abilities: I can read korean pretty well. I know how to write it in roman form but my pronunciation of the words could use a little more help. I can write pretty well too for an amateur. The really simple words I can pronounce pretty good.
Goals:
- to be good at listening and understanding Korean either spoken to or not.
- be good at pronouncing words, especially the letters that I am having trouble with
- be able to speak clearly & be able to recognize phrases
- be able to understand and order for myself at restaurants
- accumulate enough interpersonal skills
Tasks:
- practice speaking with Korean friends -->conversation with friends
- try to make sure that I pronounce words right the first time --> recording
- learn formal restaurant phrases & recognize when they are spoken --> recording and practice at restaurants
- what to say before being seated
- what to say when they ask how many people
- how to order drinks
- practice pronouncing the letters and words every day
- have Korean friends respond in Korean to get better practice with picking out recognizable words --> conversation with friends
- learn formal and informal greetings/farewells --> diigo, maybe
- greeting someone
- asking for a name
- saying farewell
- practice introducing myself
- a student at University of Richmond
- numbers

What I want to know how to do by the end of the semester:
I am going to focus on phrases and words associated with dining and restaurants such as what to say before being seated and how to ask for drinks, numbers, time and date, greetings and farewells, and some grammar. Therefore, I should know these phrases & words through practice. Be able to say them accurately. I should be able to remember them and can recall them. Keep working on pronunciation. Additionally, I should be able to recognize phrases when spoken and be able to respond in an appropriate manner.
