"I really like this post! When I watch Korean TV shows and K-dramas, some mentioned the job of Haenyeo. It is known as a hard job but you posts let me get to know and understand the hard work behind this job. I really appreciate women who do these…"

"I think that this was a very cool and informative cultural artifact you wrote on! Reading this reminded me of a pretty famous Korean netflix series known as "When Life Give you Tangerines" and it displayed the resilience of these Haenyeo as you had…"

"Looking at dialects in South Korea seems really interesting. It’s especially interesting to compare this to the U.S., since Korea is much smaller but still has noticeable regional differences. I like your idea of comparing younger and older…"

"Reading Hangul and understanding the characters was one of the first tasks that I worked on with Emily. The air and tenses were also something that I found a lot of value in when learning. To be completely honest, though, even after a semester of…"
