If I have received a research grant to conduct a linguistic study of my target language and culture, I would start from daily conversation story and history.
If I am going to teach my friends about Korean, I would start from Korean daily conversation. I would start from teaching them how to introduce themselves.
For example: 안녕하세요 yushi(name) 입니다. 처음 뵙겠습니다.
Hello, my name is Yushi. Nice to you!
중국서 왔습니다.
I am from China.
Or I will start from history. I always believe it is history that define a country’s culture. Learning the history is the best way to understand Korea’s society.
