This is my combined reflection for weeks 6 and 7:
My goals for these two weeks were to complete language tasks three and four as stated on the calendar. By the end of week seven, I should be able to ask and answer questions about identity like where are you from, what do you do, and what are you studying? etc. Also, I need to be able to talk about my family members and identify each member. This fits into my learning plan because these are also stated in my learning plan as part of my goals.
I met with my partner and we wrote out a script together that included and questions and answers and then we practiced saying it. After I learned the new vocabulary and prononciation of the words, we took turns in asking and answering questions so that way I have experience in both. For example, to ask "what is your name?" I would say "이름이 뭐예요?" (Irumun muo yae yo?) When we learned about the family members, I first learned to identify each person like mother, father, brother, sister and so on. Then we pretended that we were looking at family picture and tried to write a sentence describing each person. We said simple things like talking as if we were pointing at the picture and said "This is my mother and her name is ____. We are from Mongolia" etc.
This repetition and the explanation of the structure helped a lot in making these tasks easier to learn which made these lessons more efficient. Writing it out in Korean also helped me build more onto my reading skills. I was forced to read the sentences in order to get the pronunciation correct and then I was able to translate the sentences with her assistance. Overall, these past two weeks have been very effective in completing my goals from the learning plan.
