Hello, I am Kiriya Yimlamai. I am very delighted to study bachelor’s degree in Language- literature and national relationship major in South Korea. In nowadays, it could be said that languages are very important to communicate with each other, especially English, Interlingua which used in many countries. Therefore, I have to practice and improve my English skills better before I go to study abroad. Actually, I always use English to talk with foreign friends on Facebook, practice my skills and learn about their culture as well as I have to learn basic Korean language which is very necessary for me.
To learn and adapt myself to the new environment are my goals to study abroad. For the first time, I intend to learn Korean conversation, grammar and practice with my classmates then I want to know and understand in Korean as soon as possible. I plan to test and get level 3-4 of Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) in the first half of year and level 5-6 before the end. Therefore, I have to read and review the next lesson more and more because it can make me to understand in classroom. Also, I will note my daily words and repeat it every evening. On my free time, I would like to watch Korean media, music and discuss with my partners to improve my speaking and listening as well as I would like to travel around the city and learn new cultures which are different from my country.
When I go back to Thailand, I plan to create a page or blog online to tell about the language, culture, travel, food in South Korea and share on my Facebook to my friends or interested individuals. Furthermore, I will make a booklet about my life story in Korea and I hope it will help others who are interested in this country can find an inspiration. Obviously, I would like to open a short-term course Korean language to teach my friends and family and make them feel like me that Korean education is the best and high quality.
