Bi-Weekly Report #3 (111)

[Jeffrey Choi]

For the past two we went over a brief period of Korean history when Korea was taken over by Japan. This was really interesting to learn because I don't really know much about Korean history at all and it is a difficult topic to discuss with my parents or grandparents because of the communication barrier. We watched videos on YouTube on a channel of a Korean guy who discusses the history of Korea and the important people who were crucial to the specific events. Unfortunately, there were no subtitles so that made understanding the videos a bit difficult. However, I think it was good practice to try to keep up with more sophisticated vocabulary and our learning partner, Joora, was there to help translate and explain what was being said.
