Bi-Weekly Learning Journal #2

[Sarah Kwon]

During our lessons, we were able to apply our Korean knowledge to our religion (because we were all Christians). Me and Kevin stated that we wanted to learn how to read the Bible in Korean because they use very formal and specific language when addressing God. We went over the names of different people and I was surprised at how different the names are in Korean compared to English. Also we went over some of the stories. Because many of the stories had a lot of metaphors and used a lot of figurative language, Evelyn had to help us a lot with the translation and the interpretation aspect. I particularly had a lot of trouble with this part because Kevin has more experience learning about the Bible in Korean compared to me. So there were a couple times where I was lost throughout the stories.
