Bi-Weekly Learning Journal #3

[Sarah Kwon]

This week we learned about sports in Korea. We focused heavily on volleyball because that was what Evelyn was the most knowledgeable about. We learned about the different positions and moves and what they were called in Korean. We also learned about the different mannerisms that Koreans use while watching the game in the audience that was different to the U.S. While teaching us about the sport, we watched clips of people playing volleyball and we had to name each position and move that we learned. We were assigned homework to memorize the all of the different positions because we would be quizzed on the material next week. Overall, I really enjoyed this material because sports is something that I have participated in and is universal across all languages.
