I taught my friend Nang on the learning activity that I previously learned with my learning partner, which was about some common phrases and words that can be helpful for a tourist in South Korea. I taught him around only 15 vocabulary words and phrases that were not too advanced so that he could easily create sentences with with the amount of Korean that he already knew. He is learning Korean this semester for SDLC as well but in the more beginner level so while it was a bit difficult for him to learn all the words at first, he got most of it down by the end of our learning session.
I made sure to put more emphasis on the words and phrases that I believed would have been the most used or practical in an interaction with a Korean person. We practiced a bit on the pronunciation since Korean is still a new language for him. We utilized the Korean website that Joora had found so that Nang could pick what category of phrases he wanted to specifically learn. I think the website was very helpful since we were able to focus on his needs and wants instead of learning vocabulary that wouldn't have been that useful for what we were trying to accomplish. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable time teaching him and I think he did really well for learning all these new words at such a quick pace.
