Korean Progress: January 11th, 2013.
안녕하세요! 카산드라 라고 해요. 잘 지내요? (Hello! I am Kassandra. How are you?)
After a few days of practicing Korean I have:
Learned the Korean Alphabet system, Hangul. I am not 100% certain of myself when I write words, I still have to glance to remind myself what certain characters are, especially diphthongs. However, I am fairly confident with the consonants and vowels.
Conquered expressions that are used to greet people, introduce myself and others, and words used to be polite.
Understood the difference between talking to someone formally and informally and who to use honorifics with.
Realized how great it feels to be learning Korean!
My only fear is that my progress will stall once I go back to my university. I hope I find time to still strengthen my Korean.
