We started off the week with simple assessments on our Korean and mostly communicating with the language partner to gain a better understanding of what we want out of this semester. James, my classmate, and I both agreed that we would like to increase our knowledge in our major as well as writing and listening. Joo, our language partner, has agreed on this and structured his class accordingly. The next class we met and talked about a Korean video on Youtube about Finding Nemo. We went through the script of the video and talked about what it meant and all the vocabulary that we did not understand from it. This was slightly ineffective because of the level of the content. However, it taught me how to go about learning something that I have no idea about.
The next week, Joo brought us the financial statements of Samsung in Korean. We went together and translated all the terms on the financial statements and learned specialized vocabulary in Accounting. This taught us about many different tools that we can use to find business resources in Korean. This gave me an opening to where I can go to find out more information about the Korean business side. This was something that was very relevant to me and James and was something that was very effective. The way Joo went through and explained the statements were something that sticks with me.
