My Study Plan for Korean Language
A. Study plans to improve foreign languages(Korean, English, etc) required for taking a bachelor’s degree course
BEFORE and AFTER you come to Korea.

Before coming to Korea I've always been interested in foreign languages such as : Japanese and Korean aside from English . I taught myself a good amount of Korean and a basic Japanese ,too .It was hard for me because there weren't enough time due to my school schedule and there weren't any language institutes here that my family can afford either. I taught myself Korean using sites like : Korean101.com , TalkToMeInKorean.com , HaruKorean.com and busyatom.com . These sites helped me improving my Koren and I plan to continue using them more frequently if I get accepted . Aside from these sites , I picked up a lot of my Korean just by watching English Subbed Korean shows and dramas . It was both entertaining , fun and educational too !

As for English I have been developing it ever since I was 9 years old , even before learning it in school I was mesmerized by this amazing language !! And as my curiosity grew , my desire to master this language grew too ! I had a very good background before learning it in school . In my class I was always ahead of my classmates in English because I loved it . After 2 years I started making friends with other American girls and that improved my skills . Movies , novels and websites , It all helped me to speak English fluently aside from what I was learning in school . My family wasn't financially able to get me a seat in a language institute , which is why I haven't done the TOFEL exam yet . Still I managed to teach myself . That makes me confident that if I get chosen for the scholarship and learn Korean and in an institute I'll be able to achieve more !!

If I get chosen I'd spend the whole year studying as much as I can . Since I managed to teach myself English even though I was busy with school , exams and home works , I'm confident &

I asked for help, and people told me to watch English movies. So I did. I watched lots of movies, and I got better. Once I even stumbled on some documentary about space, and that got me hooked into physics all the way until now.…

    I asked Santa for books and I spoke English everywhere I went, but as I learned more and more English, I remembered less and less Korean. One day after school in second grade, my mom greeted me with the usual “What did you learn today?” I wanted to say that we started memorizing our multiplication tables, but I realized that I didn’t know how to say “multiplication tables” or “memorize” in Korean, so I shrugged and said “Nothing.” This became a regular…

    First was the food. It was hard to get used to the food because everything tasted too salty. The fast food restaurant that my family often visited were completely different from the ones from Korea. My family will usually stay home to eat. For the first year, my family stayed home often. We didn’t know how to speak or know the area. Even at school, I only nod as a response. It was hard to make friends because I couldn’t speak the language. Yet, with the help of my kind teacher, I was progressing fast. After a while, the teacher helped me make a friend. Even if we couldn’t communicate, I could understand with her actions and emotions. I think the most effective way to learn the language is communication. By spending most of my time with that friend, I was able to speak and read english in couple months. Writing came later. I really enjoyed the school life in America. In Korea, I remembered forced to go to school and attend multiple after school classes. What I liked about schools in America was the classrooms had friendly environment. I was very surprised how close the relationship between the students and the teacher. In Korea, there was always a boundary between the teacher and the students that had to respected. Also, the students were very racially diverse. I had many friends from different background, and it was interesting to learn about their culture and personalities. Out of all, my favorite was the art and music…

    In seventh grade, I began analyzing and breaking down articles, and this was the first time we did something that was not centered on grammar and spelling. By this time I felt that my English classes in school were not good enough to fulfil the level of English I wanted, so on the weekends I started to attend classes at a private English institute. In my English Institute class in Paraguay, I was expected to read, write, and practice answering exams in English and, additionally, it was exceptionally supportive for me since I could learn the proper sounds for every word. On a side note, there was a Chess Institute close to the English institute, so I additionally began taking chess…

    Learning English was neither easy nor hard because I was in the environment in people who speak English; everything around me speaks English. As consequences for all the hard work, I did not have any time to do enough extra-curriculums or even join sport team in high school; for instant: NMHS (National Math Honor Society), NSHS (National Math Honor Society), biomedical club, and finally the soccer team or the tennis team. I made these decisions, so I can finish high school in four years with the best grades and needed knowledge possible. In the end of my sophomore year, I finish the ESOL program in the first two years: I went from ESOL 2 in 9th grade to ESOL 4 in 10th grade, finishing the ESOL program with an improvement of my English…
