Even though I'm not learning Korean, I find this discussion very interesting. I have someone who enjoys watching new TV shows I recognise the value in language learning through watching media such as TV and music. The fact that you both were able to pick up on different things in learning the same language is really fascinating. I just might have to incorporate this into my own language learning plan!
I, too, have been using TV shows as a way to enhance my learning of these different discourse styles! I think it is fascinating that we are both learning the same target language, but are also picking up and focusing on different aspects of Korean. Korean, like any other language, is so versatile and it has been so fun and educational to learn about all of the different scenarios in which different discourse styles are appropriate!
