During these past two weeks, I learned many things mainly involving the history of South Korea and the vocabulary words that revolve around it. We learned South Korean history between Japan and its overruling of Korea. Joora showed us a video that compared a recent blockbuster film in Korea, Assassination, to actual history. This video featured a very popular lecturer in South Korea and was very informative. Although it was hard to understand everything that was going on, I still understood majority of the video. Through this video, I learned many things like the important figures of Korea and the important dates.
Stemming off of this lesson, we moved onto the important dates and national holidays in South Korea. We learned when Korea gained independence and when the legislation was made. Through this, I learned many specialized vocabulary about the government like "independence" "legislation" and so on. From this lesson, I also learned of a special national holiday that stemmed off of a folklore from South Korean history. The story states that there was a son of a god who looked at the Korean peninsula and created a civilization on the peninsula. The day that this son of a god landed onto Korea and made a country is 10/3 which is another holiday. Through this, I learned when Korea was founded, which is BCE 2333.
Up until this week, I have been keeping up with my progress very well and was learning quite a lot about Korea. Joora does a good job teaching me the language through culture and other relevant stories and ways. Although it is difficult to memorize every single vocabulary word taught to me, I will at the very least be aware of it.
