111 Bi-Weekly Journal 2

During these two weeks, our main focus was on the basis of Korean and basic "survival language". These words were simple vocabulary words that help in the everyday situation. Before the classes, I was always confused about certain basic Korean vocabulary and was never clear about them. Things like right turn, left turn were always confusing. Through these classes, I learned words for giving directions like "turn left, turn right, go straight" and words for describing days. These proved useful, because this is everyday language that I use to communicate with my parents. Through this, I learned to communicate more effectively and clearly. 

Another topic we learned about was the broader Korean history. We learned about the Japanese rule, but how Korea was divided back in the days. Joora taught us vocabulary words that related to the topic and taught us basic Korean history. This was important for me to know, because I believe that as a Korean, I should know this. During this lesson, we also talked about King Sejong the Great and his accomplishments. Joora taught us that not only did he create the Korean language, but he also made several scientific and national security advancements for South Korea. He also made instruments and was the first person to make a device that measures precipitation. Because of this, I learned the vocabulary words for the specialized vocabulary of each of these topics.
