This week I did a bit of refreshing on my own, I am yet to get a language partner but I am sure we will soon be assigned. That being said I have not done a ton of Korean work other than a bit of review so there is not a whole lot to stay for my…
"This is really cool to hear Josh, my background in German was an interesting intersection with Korean."
This week's artifact I am going to be talking about the Korean car company Hyundai. It is also referred to as Hyundai Motor Company which is a less popular way to say it but is indeed used in Korea. Their headquarters is in Seoul South Korea, and…

Wrapping up this year with Jason has been a great experience, we recorded the podcast and got a few loose ends tied up, along with talking about what my final project is going to be about. I decided to do a short presentation on K-pop and its impact…
"This is great, I thought out my Nona. I live with my grandparents and they are from Italy and while both of them are Italian they speak different dialects which is so cool to me. I really enjoy learning the small differences between them and I am…"

"This is great, Jason had me come to a KASA event in the beginning of the semester and I did a similar task of trying to speak Korean. while this can be daunting I'm glad you were able to use Korean effectively. Practice is key as you mentioned!"
"Wow, this post was as surprising to me as it was to you. I wonder why this is happening. As you mentioned maybe it is because of the pressure upholding on these younger generations. Overall very interesting and it would be cool to investigate this…"
"This sounds like a great way to learn new words and it is convenient, unfortunately, I live too far away to do this with Jason but maybe I could go to Shortpump and point things out to gain more vocabulary. The Karaoke night sounds very fun and…"
"This one was a bit more somber of a post, I am interested in the work/school culture in Korea now that I read this post. I am happy that you see this as an issue and do not write it off. I also agree that this does happen in the states but not to…"
"Good stuff, James. Watching K dramas to expand your vocabulary is similar to watching League of Legends commentary to hear more Korean words and get more vocabulary exposure. Thats amazing that you were able to learn 12 words per episode! I may…"
