A drop-out or an opt-out?

I like the word "opt-out" better than "drop-out". Drop-out has a sense of giving up while opt-out has a sense of intention. Why does it matter? I decided to not attend the last three days of my Korean language classes.

It was just too frustrating to go in there every day and struggle to understand what the teacher was talking about. I've never believed that total immersion is the best way to study a language. Not at the beginning of learning anyway. After you've achieved a broad vocabulary and reaching a general understanding of basic grammar structures is when I would agree with total immersion. I think for myself, I didn't have enough time to commit to studying to keep up with the pace in addition to the total immersion aspect.

I haven't stopped learning Korean. For the last three days, I've woken up at the same time and headed over to the coffee shop for two hours. I've been working on creating flash cards with the vocabulary words used in the textbook. I'm about half way done with those. After I finish the memory cards, I'll start putting together practice sheets for using the different grammar structures. I want to start creating sentences with my vocabulary words and I want to get practice in reading out loud.

The Korean classes are offered on a month-to-month basis. So I plan on taking one month off to study what I was taught in April, then return in June to finish the level.
