- First Cultural Post: What is your interest in 'your' language and what do you hope to accomplish this semester?
Many of my friends at Richmond are Korean Americans. Therefore, I have been exposed to a lot of Korean culture and language. Since my freshmen year I have been involved with the campus Korean American Student Organization and served as an officer my junior year as their Marketing chair. Currently, I am the president of the organization now. I think it is important to have some sort of basic knowledge of the language and somewhat understand the language. In addition, in the future I am interested in traveling Asia and Korea is one of the countries I am planning to visit in the near future. Although, I may be traveling with my friend that is fluent in Korean, but it would be more convenient if I could understand as well. Furthermore, I may be meeting my friend's family and relatives, so it is important to be able to somewhat communicate with them. Since in Korea it is very important to show respect, so being able to somewhat do that would be helpful.
