For these two weeks, Youngmin and our class worked out of the workbook that we have been working on last two weeks. We have been talking about performances and grammatical rules based on that. We have been learning about speaking in the third person and how to write in them as well. Since I told Youngmin that I wanted to focus more on writing and speaking, she has structured the class in a way that has a lot of writing and speaking involved. In terms of speaking, we go around the class and answer questions out of the workbook verbally. We also have more writing involved in the class. She gave us homework that reviews what we have learned in class.
For the next week we went over the same concepts and watched some videos of actual Korean traditional performances. We then did a writing response on a performance that have impacted us. This could either be a movie or any other performances that we watched. I did my writing response on Inception and why I liked the movie so much. We wrote it in Korean and typed it up which gave me a chance at practicing my Korean typing. This was an effective way to practice my writing on something that actually took some thought and insight. After we typed up the report, we sent it to Youngmin, who gave us corrections. This was effective and something that I could see myself using for my future studies in Korean.
