SDLC 113: Learning Journal 4

[Azmain Taz]

After the previous tutoring session with Ji Hae I realized that I needed to be more organized in my thoughts and speech. Therefore, I decided to write a small text and if it would help me use the connecting words more naturally. I decided to write about the Korean drama that I was watching at that time. At first, I was facing the same problem as I was facing before. I ended up writing short sentences. But then I started thinking of ways to connect the sentences using different connecting words. I found out that I was familiar with a lot of connecting words which I had never used. I realized that if I took some time to think about what I was about to write, I could make better sentences. The next time when I had my tutoring session with Ji Hae I tried to think before speaking instead of saying what first came to my mind. Although it took me way longer than usual to say that same thing, the sentences that I said and my ideas were better connected as well. I showed the text that I wrote to Ji Hae and I she corrected it. As she was correcting I found out that I writing Korean was definitely my weakness. I tended to write words as it is pronounced and I still could not get used to way words are spelled in Korean.
