For these two weeks, we have focused on writing, reading and speaking. Youngmin has provided us with a textbook that is designed for English speakers to learn Korean. This is a perfect level for me and the right amount of difficulty. We have started by talking about performances in Korean. We started off with a simple speaking exercise to make us phrase sentences. This was helpful in gauging my level on how well I am able to speak Korean. We moved onto a writing exercise that was forming sentences with a given grammar structure.
The week after we focused on the same topic and did other activities like sending text messages to each other and using that as an exercise. We also did another writing and grammar exercise to help us be more comfortable with speaking. Since the class is more focused on group activity and more speaking based, I believe that it is effective in helping me to increase my proficiency in Korean. As opposed to last year where we focused more on culture, this semester is more focused on grammar. I believe that this will be very useful to me because I always spoke in broken Korean.
