Last week, I worked with my language partner and peer on the weather reports. Firstly, we read through a weather forecast line by line and tried to understand each sentence. It took us longer than we expected. We have also spent some time on the vocabulary for weather forecasts such as "rainfall amount," "highest and lowest temperature," and "cloudy." There are many new phrases related to weather forecasts as well, including the verbs for rains and snow "dropping" and "to be reported/ forecasted." To help us get better at reading in Korean, we decided to do similar readings every week so that we can get more used to the phrases as well as the expressions used in such a formal news article. Jenna has also been introducing the usage of words and grammar to us, which is helpful too. It is a challenging task, but I am also going to learn a lot from it.
After reading the article, we went through a conversation talking about the coronavirus concerns that started from Wuhan, China. We talked about washing our hands more often and wearing masks when going out. We will spend more time on it next week as well as a news article about the coronavirus in Korean, and I'm looking forward to that.
