For these past two weeks, we watched a movie and summarized it. Since Youngmin was not able to make it to class, she assigned us a movie to watch and to write a reflection on it. When we wrote the reflection, we typed it up and read each other's in class. It was an interesting way to learn Korean and to reinforce the first topic that we learned about writing a reflection paper in Korean. This was an interesting way to learn and a good exposure to Korean cinema. The movie was about a Korean native who is taking up odd jobs in foreign countries to help support his family back home. I liked this balance between learning about Korean culture and the Korean language.
For the next week, we went back to working on the workbook. This time, we learned about descriptive words. These descriptive words were words like "next to" and "behind of". She showed us a picture of a scene and we were required to describe each object like "The lamp next to the bed is turned on." This was something that I had trouble with because it was hard for me to form my sentences in formal settings. When I have casual conversations with my parents, I have no problems forming my sentences, but when I am forced to, I have a harder time. This is something that Youngmin and my class will work on continually.
