Over these past couple weeks, we have been learning how to navigate a train/subway station in Korea. We followed the same structure as the past lesson about ordering food where we learn the terms first and then go on to conversation. We learn phrases as well, such as "Where is...?" or "How do you get to...?". Also the vocabulary terms were very specific to a system in Korea vs a system in New York. We learned about transportation cards, the subway lines of travel, and asking how to get to Seoul station. Seonghye showed us a video of these two guys from Spain who spoke little Korean, navigating a subway station after their flight. They made some mistakes that taught us what we should be prepared for. It was really interesting to see the process and this lesson will definitely come in handy when I travel.
We played a couple of games this time, one of them being the little competition game on the vocabulary. The other was a battleship type game that required us to write the Korean word on a board when given the translation in English. And if we got it right, we could pick a coordinate of our opponents board. These games are really fun and help us bond with each other as we learn.
