This week we started learning Korean alphabet and Korean characters.We wrote down the English meanings for Korean words and practiced speaking to each other. After class, I watched the Korean Alphabet learning video on youtube and practiced writing Korean characters by using the book recommended by Minkyung. Through watching the video and practicing in class, I developed a better understanding of the structures(vowel+consonant, vowel+consonant+vowel ), which greatly helped me memorize the pronunciations of Korean characters as well.

In regard of my first artifact, I think I did a better job in pronunciation and proficiency. I was quite bad at combing different words together and would stop several times in a sentence. But after practice, I now feel that I could speak more fluently with even more local tones.
