I guess I must be too obsessed with korean these days. Why do I say that? A few nights ago, I dreamed in korean! As in I dreamt that I was talking with this korean lady and I was trying to form the sentences at the back of my mind. When I woke up in the morning, I could still remember what I talked about. (but oops I can't remember now)
It's important to immerse yourself in the language that you are studying. Since I can't be in korea right now, I try to include something korean in my life everyday. It can be just listening to k-pop, watching korean drama, listening to korean radio programmes etc.
On a normal day when I'm home, I am exposed to more korean than english or chinese. I try to think in korean these days and now my reflexes are in tune with korean too. If anyone call out to me, my first reaction will be 뭐? / 왜? / 네?
Do you have any experiences of dreaming in the language you are currently learning?
I'm really curious. ^^

As they say, you've really reached a higher stage of learning when you find yourself dreaming in that language. so congrats!
ReplyDeleteyes i have experienced this when i was learning mandarin haha!
woah cool! (: thanks alot ^^
ReplyDeletebut that feeling is quite strange, i didn't dream that i was so fluent in korean that i could just speak naturally. so i was consciously trying to form the sentences - it really feels that i am still 'studying' when i'm asleep. XD

ReplyDeleteI am studying Chinese and when I went to China, I often dreamt in Chinese. I always thought it was werid until my Chinese teacher told me that she too often dreamt in English when she was learning English. She said that she dreamt so much in English that her brain was working over time, thus she was improving her English at night. LOL!
