Self-Assessment (111)

[Jeffrey Choi]

I think I accomplished a good amount of my goals that I set out for this semester. I reached many of my goals in the learning plan. One of the stumbling blocks that I encountered was figuring out where to start for one of my main goals, which was to learn more vocabulary. The Korean language is massive and I wanted to learn practical phrases and words that would be used in day to day interactions. Thankfully, Joora, my learning partner, helped guide me on where to begin and what kind of topics would be the most practical to learn. The most interesting thing that I learned for 111 was the history of Korea during Japan's invasion. It happened so recently, but I knew nothing about it and it was such an impact in the country's history and culture. For 112, I hope to put an emphasis on learning more things about the culture of Korea and its history.
