Week9:
Spring Break
Week 10
During week 10, we started the class by discussing the film we watched last class and going over some of the common phrases that were said in the film. Watching a movie in Korean class was overall a good exercise because it helped with our listening abilities. For example, sometimes I can understand what the actors/actresses were saying and being able to understand that is really gratifying. Then, we watched another very popular Korean drama, called “Touch Your Heart” (진심이 닿다), It is the most popular Korean drama TV series right now. The show talked about a top actress suffering from a scandal that damaged her career, and was forced to step down from her job for two years. In order to get a role in a major upcoming television series, she had to agrees to get experience at a law firm, working as a secretary to a lawyer. The television was not very good and not quite as good as a listening experience compared to the movie film watched last class. This was because the actress tends to mumble a lot to act cute.And at the end of the class, we also talked about the new song just released in Korea. Evelyn said some korean singers' pronunciation is not really good so it might be hard for people to learn Korean by listening to the music. But it is still a good way to learn some new vocabulary in Korean.

Hi Amber, are you able to watch the Korean drama without subtitles? If so that's awesome! I started off learning Korean from kdramas but I have not been able to remove the crutch of english subtitles. I have watched this drama and I agree that it is not a very good listening exercise. I hope to learn Korean until your level of understanding!
