The grade for my mid term was 94/100, but that is because the instructor graciously decided that the written segment was extra credit.

As I said before, my main problem is writing the language. I made multiple silly, small mistakes, many of which I thought that I had worked so hard to fix. lol so much for that! I’ll just have to continue studying the written form of the words.

My plan is (ideally) to write some of the words every day. Hopefully this will straighten certain things in my thoughts and hands, such as the evil ㅏ and ㅓ (and to a lesser extent ㄱ <-> ㄴ) confusion that I seem to experience. I speak the words correctly (or at least I seem to!) but I can have such a frustrating time trying to write them.

For example, 학생 (“hahksang”) means “student” and I pronounce it correctly, but on the test I wrote it as 한생 (“hawnsang”) which I hope means nothing.

There is much to learn, but that’s what it’s all about yes?

Later folks,
