Last week, we had a class talking about fashion in Korea. On the handout, Jenna printed out clothing vocabs in Korean, including tops, bottoms, accessories, and coats. We met many words derived from English here too. Also, similar to Chinese, Korean uses different verbs to describe “wear” for clothing in different categories. After reading out the words and taking notes on their meanings, we watched two YouTube clips from a Korean famous fashion stylist (“코디” in Korean), where she showed her fashion taste while describing the items she saw in a store. It was really interesting to see how her style differs from others and how she introduces the clothes. We learned more vocabs such as “silk” and “scarf” when watching the video. For homework, we wrote out two sentences using the phrases and nouns we learned in the lesson.
This week’s lesson was a little bit different from the ones we had. I was watching a Korean TV show where the hosts’ spacing was checked to decide if they could go home right away. It turned out that spacing in writing in Korean could be confusing sometimes. As a result, we learned about the rule for spacing this week. While major rules are not hard to understand, there are some exceptions that we need to pay attention to, so we will do more practice on that. After that, we learned about vocabs and phrases for traveling. After going over the handout, we watched a travel vlog from a Korean. We learned that Koreans focus a lot on finding good restaurants when they are traveling, and we learned more vocabs for food as well when watching the video.
