There has been improvement but I would love an instant fluency pill that I could take.

You s... Be patient with yourself on learning Korean. You seem to be expecting a lot from yourself considering you have been there for less than a month. The difference between understanding a lot or understanding a little can sometimes be just a few words. You are probably making a lot more progress than you realize. Church has its very own specialized vocabulary which you are only exposed to one day a week in your current circumstances. In the process of learning a language, fluency becomes a moving target which is always beyond our grasp. I think this is because we usually judge our abilities in the foreign language with our native language abilities, not a fair comparison. We often focus on what we don't understand and fail to notice the increases in what we do understand. It sounds to me like you are making amazing progress for having been in Korea for such a very short time.<br /> I am so very proud of your grit Sarah. What a great way to enrich the lives of your children and to teach them to do hard things all at the same time. Way to bee!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09318854221959043722noreply@blogger.com
