Hey hey! I’m back with my language goals for May and ready to kick some butt.
RECAP!
Korean has been going really well. I had to skip a week so I couldn’t finish out my package but I only have one more class. I’m going to do an evaluation of my progress and my teacher, but I have a feeling I’ll be continuing on with her. I’ve also learned a teensy bit of Spanish. I think if I cram on the plane rides over I’ll be set to get around for a few days.
A while ago I bought a Korean fairytale book for kids, and I’ve just recently started going through it and translating page by page. I have to say there are some pretty advanced grammar patterns in this little book, but it’s doing wonders for my reading comprehension. I actually do want to be a properly trained translator one day and am really enjoying the process.
