Reflect upon what you have learned about the culture(s) you have been studying.
My main goal for my cultural posts were to learn about the culture of South Korea to better prepare myself for my study abroad experience at Yonsei University next semester. I think I was able to accomplish all of my goals through these cultural posts and also through my sessions with my learning partner. Through the cultural posts, I was able to learn about the geography of South Korea, especially about the capital (Seoul), where I will be staying. I also learned about the Cherry Blossom Festival that is happening in late-March to mid-April, which I am excited to explore during my time there. Lastly, I was able to learn about the culture of student life in South Korea. All of these aspects help prepare me for my study abroad experience in South Korea next semester, so I would say that these cultural posts were pretty helpful! It was interesting to research these different topics and I am so excited to personally experience these cultural aspects, next semester!
