Korean Class

The numbers are in. My overall grade for evening class level 2 is 82%.

Listening was my strongest with 95%.

Reading was also high with a score of 91%.

Conversation was lower than I was expecting with 74%. All of the points I love minus one was because of missed grammer markers 이, 가, 을, 를, 으로, etc. Teacher said people have no problem understanding me and my pronouncation and accent are good. So if I had all of the grammer solid I could have gotten 99% on that section. I've also been complimented by my peers in terms of speaking. Considering my history with languages (see below) I'm very proud of this.

The writing section was the lowest with 67.6%. I've known this is my weak point so I wasn't exactly surprised. Again the grammer was the main reason for missing points. I've been spending a lot of time on the bus with a grammer book and the questions I am asking in and out of class have been a lot more grammer related then before.

I've always struggled with language classes. Spanish in high school was pathetic. Korean as an exchange student was hard and knowing that I would stop learning Korean after that affected my so-so studying at the time. The summer class I took before was mixed with the idea that I would only be in the country for a few months mixed with my dad visiting and me having been away from Korea for years. My grade there was alright but...I actually don't remember my score. Oh well.

With that as my history, I think this is the best I've done in a language class period. My average was a low B and I aced two sections of the exam. I'm real happy~

Hi Richard,

That is great news on your scores and final grades for your Korean class! All your hard work is paying off. The bus is a great place to get regular study time in.
Congratulations!

Love,
