Since one of my learning goals is to improve my grammar, my learning partner and I had a grammar lesson about how to write endings to certain words. For example, we learned that “eun” and “neun” are endings used in the subject form, and you choose one or the other based on if the word before has or doesn’t have a “ba-chim.” A “ba-chim” is a form of Korean writing where there are letters written under consonant+vowel pair. This is another grammar topic that I struggle with, so I think we will work on this topic as well.
We also checked out a book from the Global Studio that dealt with “business-type” words to learn how to say some words formally. For example, in English, there are different words to describe document, file, and report. However, in Korean, we can classify all of those three things under “seo-lu,” which is a more sophisticated term to describe just papers.
I think having a balance between learning new vocabulary words and having a mini grammar lesson is a good way to learn because I am not overwhelmed with too much at one time. I like how we used a Korean book to learn about new terms, while we used powerpoint slides to work on the grammar. We also applied my learning by making sentences using these words, which we practiced by speaking to one another.
