We watched a korean movie called Along with the Gods for one of the weeks. Thankfully, we watched it with subtitles because I would have had no idea what was being said. This is still an area that I have a lot of trouble with. I find it astounding that some of my non-Korean friends have learned Korean just by watching a lot of Korean entertainment. I think I should watch more Korean programs and movies. The following week we wrote a reflection on what we thought about the movie and reviewed everything we had learned up to this point. I think the lessons so far have been effective. We usually try to recall things we learned from past lessons and that helps reinforce what I learned previously. In previous classes, I noticed that a lot of things that I learned tend to slip away because there isn't continual practice throughout the semester. So, this has been refreshing and encourages me that I am learning and improving in my Korean vocabulary when I get things right.
For the learning activity, I decided on teaching Korean slang to my non-Korean friend. I think this would be an easy and fun topic to learn for someone who doesn't know any Korean. I plan on providing a list of the common slang words and provide the meaning. I would then provide an example of the appropriate use of the word. Since my friend doesn't know any Korean, I plan on saying an English sentence and ask what slang word would I use in this context to test if the lesson actually worked.
