This week, we worked on listening and writing exercises by watching videos in Korean. We first watched a Korean variety show that talked about student life in different countries, such as South Korea, Japan, and Mexico. It was interesting to learn that the country that students are the happiest and saddest are Mexico and Turkey, respectively. Unfortunately, South Korea was the second lowest, which meant that it was the second saddest country, for students. This exercise was helpful because it expanded my vocabulary by learning about student life satisfaction in different countries.
We performed another listening exercise that involved not only watching a video clip, but also following along a script of what was being said. This was helpful because there were blank spots for me to fill in from the dialogue that was spoken in the video. This was a good technique because it made sure I was paying attention to what was being spoken, so that I can fill in the missing blanks. Both of these tasks allowed me to accomplish my goal to improve my listening comprehension skills.
