Since I have previously had one semester of Korean, I performed a self-assessment in the beginning of the semester in order to find my level of Korean. I used the Level of Competence chart provided in the SDLAP wiki for the assessment.
I came to the following conclusion:
1. Interpretive:
a) Listening: Beginning 2. I can understand phrases and vocabulary related to family, personal information, shopping and simple conversation, without going into too much details.
b) Reading: Beginning 1. I can read simple words.
2. Interpersonal:
a) Speaking: Beginning 2. I can hold simple conversation and exchange information on familiar topics and activities. I can also ask for necessary information in a restaurant, store and on the streets.
3. Presentational:
a) Speaking: Beginning 2. I can describe myself as well as my family using complete sentences.
b) Writing: Beginning 1. I can write short simple sentences about myself and my family.
My goals for this semester are:
1. Learn how to give directions and ask for directions as well as a list of vocabulary related to directions, places, modes of transportation etc.
2. Talk about the weather and learn the vocabulary related to the weather.
3. Learn a list of adjectives and learn how to describe things.
4. Learn some verbs and how to use them in the present, past and future tense.
5. Learn some of the most commonly used vocabulary concerning food, clothes and body parts.
6. Practice more reading that I can read any book or article even if I do not understand it.
7. Learn to write most of the words that I will learn.
