Korean 1
Reflection
Throughout these 14 weeks of learning Korean, I find out that I have had ups and downs while learning the language. I felt that I would sometimes slowly lose interest in the language as time goes on and while I'm stuck on certain parts when learning language. These might due to some of the pent up frustrations that I got when I cannot keep up with what was taught in the class. Sometimes, I would feel quite difficult as I do not entirely understand what our lecturer is saying. Fortunately, I have friends that could help me out when I feel very stressed out.
The process of learning a completely new language, especially at this time of the age, is very difficult. I initially do not have much of an interest when choosing this module as I thought that I would prefer to learn other languages. However, I remembered that when I was young, I like to read manhwa, and sometimes, I find manhwa translations are either very bad or slow. So I would think to myself that, I want to learn Korean so that I could "decipher" what was written by the author of the manhwa. With that purpose in my mind, I think that I could learn Korean happily. Throughout these 14 weeks, I would feel that, while learning Korean is fun, but has challenges that needs to be overcome. Despite that, I still felt that learning Korean is meaningful too.
I appreciate the effort my lecturer has poured into this module. I really admired her patience when she is teaching us Korean. Even when she would go slightly too fast when teaching in class, she would still take care students that aren't able to follow her steps. For that, I think is nice for students like me because of my low efficiency in learning the language. I would like to thank her here, 감사합니다, 선생님!
